In the Roadkill Garage season 7 episode 10 titled "Crusher Impala Runs 10s!", the host David Freiburger and his crew partner, Steve Dulcich, take on a new challenge of taking an old rusty 1969 Chevrolet Impala and turning it into a 10-second car.
The hosts start by bringing in the Crusher Camaro and tearing it down for parts. They remove the engine, transmission, and various other parts from the Camaro and install them into the Impala. The engine is a 427 cubic inch LS engine and the transmission is a Turbo 400.
The process is not an easy one, and the hosts run into various obstacles along the way. They spend a lot of time fabricating new parts and modifying existing ones to fit the Impala. One of the biggest challenges is fitting the massive engine and transmission into the cramped engine bay of the Impala.
The hosts soon realize that the old suspension of the Impala won't be able to handle the power of the new engine, so they decide to upgrade it with new parts. They install a new four-link rear suspension and a new front suspension to ensure that the car can handle the power and torque.
After weeks of hard work, the moment of truth arrives as the hosts take the newly built Impala to the track. Their goal is to hit the quarter mile mark in under 10 seconds. The excitement builds as the car takes off from the starting line and roars down the track.
The hosts and crew eagerly watch the scoreboard as the car crosses the finish line. To their delight, the Impala has run a 10.78-second quarter mile, just narrowly missing their goal but still setting a new personal best.
Despite not hitting their goal, the hosts are thrilled with the performance of the car. They take it back to the garage and make some adjustments, hoping to hit that 10-second mark on the next run.
Overall, "Crusher Impala Runs 10s!" is a thrilling episode of Roadkill Garage as the hosts take on a difficult challenge and push the limits of what's possible with an old car. Viewers will be on the edge of their seats as they watch the excitement unfold, and they'll be impressed with the ingenuity and creativity of the hosts and crew.
