Them crazy Roadkill boys are back at it again, and this time, the victim to their madness is a 1991 Cadillac Brougham, AKA the BroHammer. Finnegan and Freiburger were invited to dig through a private junkyard owned by a friend of the show, and LeMons nutter, Andy Moss. Along for the ride this time are Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa from HotRod Garage to lend a hand and offer expertise on something new to both Roadkill and it’s hosts: diesel-power. Yes, a crusty old Cadi is being bestowed with Cummins turbodiesel power. Queue the villainous laughter.Why? Well, first, why not? Second, Roadkill has done some wild swaps, but diesel is relatively uncharted waters. Third, older diesel engines, especially late 80’s and early 90’s Cummins motors are bulletproof, and notoriously simple to work on and maintain. This is handy when you’ve entrenched yourself and three friends in a junkyard and refuse to leave until it’s in your diesel-powered luxobarge.Their goal was simple: swap it, jump it and do burnouts.
