Rotsun: the Car That Never Fails To Fail!

The Rotsun first showed up in episode 25 ofRoadkillin 2014. The rusted-out '71 Datsun 240Z, at least for the first go-around, was powered by a Chevy 4.3-liter V-6 with a turbo swiped from a Ford 7.3-liter Powerstroke diesel. At its first outing it was expected to crush the competition at a nine-car autocross, but it broke and failed to even churn out one decent lap! Everyone loves an underdog, so maybe that's why the Rotsun has always been such a fan-favorite.

The Rotsun's 4.3-liter V-6 died a glorious death during a LeMONS race and a year later the Roadkill guys swapped in a 5.0-liter Ford engine (episode 64). Combined with much of the earlier turbo kit the upgrade bumped the Rotsun from an undependable 400 hp to a merely questionable 500 hp.

I was born and raised in Southern California and have always been into classic cars. My first car was a 1964.5 Mustang that I remember tossing Centerline wheels on and giving a midnight blue paint job to. It was a straight six, which most likely kept me alive. After high school I picked up a 1967 Camaro and spent all my money at Super Shops fixing it up. It rolled on 16-inch IROC wheels, which in the 1980s was pretty cutting edge. I'm old enough that Big Daddy Ed Roth pinstriped my car in his driveway. In 2004 I was hired on as Technical Editor for Popular Hot Rodding and later I did the same gig at Camaro Performers where we built a 1968 Camaro called Bad Penny (Google it). Later I was editor for Vette and Super Chevy Magazines before ending up here at HOT ROD as a Senior Tech Editor.

I've had the pleasure of building and being involved with quite a few cars from the above-mentioned Bad Penny Camaro to a 1968 Camaro called Track Rat and a 1,000 horsepower 1971 Wagon rolling on a Roadster Shop chassis. I've owned a few ZL1/1LE Camaros, a couple of Porsche GT4s and currently I'm working over a sweet 1972 LS-swapped Chevelle wagon to see if we can make this 4,000 beast handle on track. I live in SoCal with my partner April where I still spend way too much time thinking about the next big project.
