Ep 54. Fresh 500ci for the Caddy Gremmie!

Roadkill Garage is a show about taking old, forgotten cars and turning them into something special. In the season 5 episode 54, titled "Fresh 500ci for the Caddy Gremmie!", the hosts take on a Cadillac Eldorado that has been sitting for years and has a severe oil leak. The plan is to swap its 472ci engine for a 500ci, but they quickly discover that the car's engine bay is too small for such a big block.

Undeterred, they decide to cut up the engine bay and move the firewall back to make room for the new engine. This is no easy task, but luckily the hosts have plenty of experience and a lot of help from their friends. They also take this opportunity to upgrade the suspension and brakes, as the car will need these upgrades to handle the increased power.

Once the engine bay has been modified, they start working on the engine itself. They install new bearings, rings, pistons, and a camshaft, and give the engine a fresh coat of paint. They also install a new intake manifold and carburetor, and hook up the exhaust.

After all the work is done, they give the car a test drive. The host who takes it for a spin can't believe how much power the new engine has, and how well the upgrades to the suspension and brakes work. He also notes that the oil leak has been fixed, which is a huge relief.

Overall, the hosts are thrilled with how the project turned out. The Cadillac is now a powerful, reliable car that's not afraid to burn rubber. It's a great example of what can be done with a little creativity and a lot of hard work.
