We answer your questions about Hemis, Mopar muscle cars, and what is and isn’t a Mopar.
On episode 40 of Roadkill, a new project car is introduced: the Crop Duster! It’s a 1970 Plymouth Duster that David Freiburger forgot he owned—a result of multiple trades with a buddy, and at least five years of neglect in the dirt of a grape farm. Once he was reminded of the car—and with a 440 Mopar big-block sitting on the shop floor (salvaged from the General Mayhem 1968 Charger)—it was evident what needed to happen. Freiburger and Mike Finnegan headed up to the farm run by Steve Dulcich to drag the Duster out of its moss-covered indignity and attempted to get the 440 in the car and running, driving, and doing smoky burnouts within five days. Along the way, the trio did engine upgrades, butchered some headers, built a homemade driveshaft, cobbled together a used exhaust system, did some half-hearted bodywork, and executed other mechanical feats the likes of which you’ve come to expect from Roadkill. Then it was off to the chassis dyno and the dragstrip.
