Roadkill (2012)
S01E04 Extreme Elco Engine Swap!
Episode Overview
David Freiburger, Mike Finnegan, and a carsick canine embark on a 500-mile trek in a '69 El Camino, which is running on only seven cylinders, to swap out its engine in the parking lot of Summit Racing. This classic Chevy was originally purchased by Finnegan's wife's grandfather and has been cherished through the family, eventually landing with her. While the car’s suspension has been enhanced, the original 350 engine is emitting smoke like a locomotive. The guys aim to make the most of their visit to Summit Racing in Sparks, Nevada, where they can find everything they need for an efficient engine swap. But how quickly can they complete the task amid a snowstorm, and will the EPA step in to halt their progress? Plus, what chaos ensues with a carsick dog in the passenger seat?
