  • David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich build the Super Sammy-a junkyard-rescued Suzuki Samurai that they crammed a 440 Chrysler big-block into right where it sat in the middle of the junkyard. Then they take it out onto the road, complete with Roadkill style fires.

    Since they left TH-cam and went behind a paywall, haven't watched. Seeing this i hope Freiburger is OK, seems to have aged a lot in a couple of years, and he's one of the most entertaining and knowledgable car personas on any media. Massive shame they killed off the classic Freiburger and Finnegan show on TH-cam.

And I probably would have gone with a V6 to have a bit more room in the engine bay since the Samurai is already so light. But you guys knocked it out of the park for a fun vehicle.

    I want one of these old Sammies, but I want one with an engine that is squarely between 440 and 1.3L.

      Backyard style rebuild with a mild cam and it would probably run pretty good
