Machines | Will It Go 10s? Mazdarati Is Back! - Roadkill Ep.51
videos | at work | information | view | construction
Roadkill powered by Dodge brings back a Mazda pickup powered by a 455 Oldsmobile in the bed! In Episode 45, Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger bought a lemon-colored Mazda REPU mini-truck with a 455 Olds big-block mounted in the bed, powering the rear wheels through a Toronado transaxle. The seller said it did wheelies and ran 10s in the quarter-mile. Not surprisingly, the guys quickly realized the lemon wouldn't run 10s even if it had unicorn blood in the engine. In this episode of Roadkill, the guys pull out all the stops to push the Mazdarati into 10-second territory by doing a top-end rebuild in the staging lanes of a dragstrip, road-tripping on HOT ROD's Drag Weekend event, and then making one heroic pass with the nitrous button pushed!

Bring the Mazdarati back again! Fix the ring seal issue, remove the tailgate - 10s for sure. Or, EFI, suspension, brakes, and autocross domination awaits.

Why don't you guys use the empty engine bay as a funnel for the air, add air channels through the cabin to the engine. Would that work?

Anybody else notice the flag at half staff behind Finnegan and Freiburger? If not, it's at half staff for the legendary John Herschel Glenn, Jr. Glenn died at 95 on December 8, 2016 and was interred at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA. Not only was John a Navy sailor and a US Marine, he was an astronaut at NASA and a US Senator.
