Muscle Truck engine swap to boat and back on Roadkill

On this episode ofRoadkill, Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger use the Muscle Truck (1974 Chevrolet C10 pickup) to tow a 1976 Rogers Bonneville jet boat to Lake Elsinore where they hope to do some drag racing during the Tom Papp Memorial boating event. Once at the lake, they plan to swap the tow vehicle's Chevrolet Performance LS6 V-8 crate engine into the boat.

But before they can leave, they have to fix an issue with their tow hitch brackets - they inadvertently received two brackets for the same side of the truck. Once at the lake, Finnegan and Freiburger began swapping the engine from the truck to the boat. During the engine swap from truck to boat, the duo runs into several problems trying to get the engine to fit in the boat. They also swap the MSD self-learning EFI setup for a Holley high-ram tunnel ram and dual-quad carburetors.

After enjoying the boat on the lake, they finally pull the LS6 to reinstall back into the Muscle Truck. Even though the engine was pulled just two days earlier, Finnegan and Freiburger still ran into a few small issues putting the Muscle Truck back together.

Check out their adventure on this video below.
