Roadkill Garage
Wrenching for Speed in the Roadkill Crop Duster!
In episode 40 of the Roadkill show, hosts David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan met up with Steve Dulcich to drag a ’70 Plymouth Duster out of a purgatory of mud at Dulcich’s farm, then stabbed a big-block Mopar under the hood and blasted 12.34 seconds in the quarter-mile. In this episode of Roadkill Garage, the Crop Duster is back! It has a fresh, 500-horsepower 383 engine now, and is fresh off the road from Hot Rod magazine’s Drag Weekend event where—it will come as no surprise—the car had some trouble. That included a wiring fire and a fuel-delivery problem that held the car back to a 12.06-second e.t.—not much better than the old 12.34 considering the newer, much more powerful engine. In this Roadkill Garage, Freiburger and Dulcich attack those demons, have a lot of fun in the process, and return to the drag strip in the hunt for the elusive 11-second timeslip.
