Super Sammy! 440 Big Block in Junkyard Suzuki Samurai | Roadkill | MotorTrend
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich build the Super Sammy-a junkyard-rescued Suzuki Samurai that they crammed a 440 Chrysler big-block into right where it sat in the middle of the junkyard. Then they take it out onto the road, complete with Roadkill style fires.

More than enough good channels on KZread to pay $5 a month for this. I was a faithful watcher when it was free.
Since they left KZread and went behind a paywall, haven't watched. Seeing this i hope Freiburger is OK, seems to have aged a lot in a couple of years, and he's one of the most entertaining and knowledgable car personas on any media. Massive shame they killed off the classic Freiburger and Finnegan show on KZread.

Hello Eric, how are you doing?
This episode of roadkill made me fall in love with the Samurai. First fixing my e30 and then for sure I’m getting myself a Samurai 😍
My dad did this to a 1969 Datsun pickup, I loved that truck as a kid. That was back in 1971
So glad to see you still using my Grandfather's Tow Truck.
I am amazed at the knowledge and skill to do all that initial work on the ground in the yard!
I remember watching roadkill all the time miss it😭 sad that they make you pay for it now...
Oh man, if only motortrend on demand was even available where I live.... Haven't been able to watch any new roadkill content even when I've been willing to pay for the service for the last year. Nice....

I asked what happened to my account and they kept saying "I don't see you having an account" Literally had to send them of a screenshot of my last billing to have them confirm what had happened.

They are available through amazon prime if you want to watch that badly. But honestly they only release shows like a fews months of the years so its worth waiting till they put them up and then subbing for a month to binge it all so it at least only costs you a month worth.

Bring back Finn and Frei to KZread. Best show ever.
I can imagine how Sammy guys feel watching this.
I've owned two suzuki's in my life. Both the best cars I've owned. If you think about it, they make killer motorcycles so why not. Always wanted a big block in one after joking to a friend that the 460 in my 78 f250 would look good in my sprint. Now you guys put a big block in a samurai. I love you dudes.
Love theses guys they are funny and smart .The best part is they do stuff that's crazy but function 🤣🤣 .Watch them all the time and have learned a whole lot👍👍
The amount of times I’ve heard Frieberger yell out “no brakes!” is inspiring
I remember when they said they'd keep roadkill on youtube. Then almost immediately put it behind a pay wall. That said i'm stoked for Mike and his YT channel success LOL.
Who builds a two wheel drive samurai? I used to like road kill but they appear to have run out of interesting things to build.
Coolest show EVER !!!
My pizza delivery guy here in Philly had an 🍏 one back in 94’ … koolness brothas ! 🤘🏼
Normally I'm one who'd want to fix the car up to be a bit more like it originally was. But I loved that you used a S10 truck rear axle. And I probably would have gone with a V6 to have a bit more room in the engine bay since the Samurai is already so light. But you guys knocked it out of the park for a fun vehicle.

Yeah, but to quote one of their previous episodes, "We could fix a small-block Chevy with bale wire and duct tape." Also, the Rotsun is a good testament to their hatred of Chevy V6 engines.

You need to know the fine art of rope splicing. Actually it's not hard and unbelievably strong. You just Google rope splicing and watch a vid on KZread and all of a sudden like magic you're the finest rope slicer that ever lived.

Incredible team.
Mid engine big block swapped samurai. Amazing.
I miss my little Samurai! It went through almost every kind of terrain 😃
We did this with a smallblock once, kept it 4x4, it was my daily driver for about 5 years. Cold in the winter time though...
This thing looks like fun!!!
You could apply more interest, call it a samurai dragon and make piles of money. Huge props for the work. My arms would be rubber clubs after using that saw on the firewall alone.
YES!
man u guys build the coolest cars
This was my dream car, In my country its called the "Gypsy" But now they don't make this anymore so now my new fav is Suzuki "Jimny" 🤗
Miss when they were always at dulcichs house!
That was awesome? I had a samurai in 1991. Miss that thing.

That was GRRREAT! I was smilling for the whole video. I have a 2002 Sammy Diesel. It has just enough power to move. Gutless. Wanna TRADE? It gets Great mileage.
A 440 in something so lite but still needs oil on the tire to do one tire burn out lol what a powerhouse!
That is pure insanity lol. BADASS.
Love the mint 500 fear and loathing in Las Vegas vibe
Epic burnout
Bring Roadkill back to youtube!!
Awesome.
The suzuki katana reminds me of when I was a kid, traveling around town with my dad who loved automotive
I love that they got a whole engine running before hand and then decide to go w a bigger one and done even try to turn it on till they already mounted it and welded the whole fire wall💀
Sam's go HELLA hard on rock crawling
WE LOVE SAMIS
Aluminum slots are awesome
Why I can’t get motortrend on demand in estonia 😔😔😔 love the shows, willing to pay.
My neighbor now owns the super Sammie, what a blast it is to terrorize the streets with it
Excellent , I love :)
Samurai so cool that I staring to want it!
It's like an environmentally friendly Stubby Bob.
Crazy!
Not a fan of the short cut show, but I at least appreciate that we get some Roadkill back on YT.
I want one of these old Sammies, but I want one with an engine that is squarely between 440 and 1.3L.

You might want to install larger diffs into it. The factory motor can break the factory pinions with 31" diameter off road tyres
I saw at least 3 1966 era "vintage" Ford Esquires in this video.
