The Rotsun's Ford V8 Engine Swap! | Roadkill | MotorTrend

In this classic moment from Roadkill episode 64, we're revisiting the supreme king of automotive failure: the Rotsun. Nothing would ever go right with this car, which of course meant that Freiburger and Finnegan simply had to add a V8 Ford Mustang engine! #roadkill #motortrend #rotsun

Nothing to do but sit at my desk and watch Roadkill. As Finnegan says, "Best day at work EVER!"

The Rotsun definitely deserves proper engine mounts after that performance!

Thats f**king epic, the Rotsun is one of the Roadkill signature vehicles! This thing proves that life starts at 40 ha ha ha

It's funny you mention the heater core, and having to take half the car apart. You're correct, entire dashboard has to go. I did a heater core in an 84 I believe. All the screws had a home when I was done though!

Favorite videos are of Freiburger working with Finnegan !!
Love all of them, but these two are an awesome team.

At 4:20 in the video, that Jegs cherry picker looks like like it would have folded in half if it had a big block on the end of it.

[edirwin]

that Ratsun(my interpretation of RK project from the term "ratrod") deff needs a stroker 347 ford windsor v8 with aluminum heads, intake manifold!!🥸🥸🍿🍿

[timworsnop]

In the dictionary next to the word "Roadkill", theres a picture of the Rotsun.

[boredom.victim]
