Jeep CJ-5...Supercharged! | Roadkill Garage | MotorTrend

- What’s the best way to improve a 1975 CJ-5 with a small-block Chevy? Step one: Don't focus on the suspension, axles, gearing, and so forth. Step two: Add more power, of course! With some leftover parts from Engine Masters, the guys swap in a 383 short-block topped with a Weiand 671 supercharger and create the blown CJ-5 now known as the BJ-5! #MotorTrend #RoadkillGarage #Jeep
I was always a truck guy until i bought my first Jeep. A 79 Cj7 Golden Eagle with a 360 , Edelbrock 4 barrel and of course headers with side turn outs at the doors. That was the funest vehicle I ever owned!!!!
Where is it now?
@@AZBEEMR i unfortunately sold it 😟
ive got a 67 CJ-5 with side turnouts at the doors, a little buick 231 and an Edelbrock 4 barrel in there
I understand why they took full episodes off of UA-cam. At the same time tho, I feel like they got more views here than on the other platform. Roadkill being on UA-cam was what made it Roadkill. It wasn’t some flashy “this is how you do this, this, and this” kinda show. It was fun, dirty, halfassed car Hackery, but most of all. It was relatable. Some of the people could relate to driving all the way to summit racing HQ in Ohio, in a car that’s running on 7 cylinders, park said car in the parking lot of summit racing, rip the motor out in below freezing temperatures, go inside, buy the motor you preordered, install it, then drive all the way back home. That was the glory of roadkill.
It's good to see Rick Pewe, Haven't seen him for ages
He's got his own yt channel
I had a CJ5 with a one piece fiberglass tilt front end, a 4.3 Chevy engine, and some tool put a Saginaw 4 speed in it. It was scary AF to drive. This rig is gnarly!!
How did you like the 4.3? I have a tpi to put in mine but I'm thinking a 4.3 or some Buick v6 might be enough.
@@xmo552 The 4.3 was plenty strong in the ol 5er. They make good torque down low and pull pretty well when you run the rpms up too. Kinda nice to keep some weight off of the front end as well. I'd prefer that TPI though. That's the engine Chevy should have put into their trucks instead of the TBI.
Wish we had more Roadkill episodes!
Yeah, I do to.. Roadkill has a new segment on Friday evening called junkyard gold, and is awesome as well. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it and is with classic car authority Steve Magnante and tracks down cars for the Roadkill crew to build for future projects on the show. As we know, they build many different vehicles on there. But really like it that they feature a lot of Mopars, and Freiburger is really into them to. Anyway, check it out if you haven't seen it and am sure that you will like it
Right if only they didn’t completely sellout can’t blame them it’s all about money
Love binge/listening thoses episodes
They've been regularly putting out an episode or two a month, the most recent one late last month.
werd.
I need that to disrupt the HOA meetings..
Ad to my collection of violation letters.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏👍🍾👏🌲
Anyone else think about the sudden deceleration can shear shafts? The shafts looked like it had fracture for along time before hand, from the same abuse hahaha love it
From the looks of the corrosion on the driveshaft end of that output shaft, it had been suffering for a while!
That Jeep is so badass
That rag joint is mint.
I love these mashups to show the whole project.
David : How many HORSEPOWER do you want?
Steve : YES!!!
When you hear,"blown,Frieberger,and engine",it seems there should be the standard oil slick,shards of block,and allot of smoke.
Possibly wheelies too.
WHO could dislike this video?!!! This is what life is all about (well...kinda.) Thanks!
The BJ.5 RULES..!!! Noisy ?? Yeah.. BUT.. it sounds AWESOME.. " Huge Win ".
I LOVE MY HOT ROD FAMILY!!!! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT !!!!! YOU INSPIRE ME WITH MY PROJECT!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I think this just lit a fire to get another jeep
May you always steer straight and true.
I like the AMC's small block the best for an AMC Jeeps. Yours needs some driveline safety hoops. Keep that driveline from coming through the floor of your Jeep at 7,000 RPM.
My Cj5 7 is getting a 454. Send me an a blower!! It’s all 1 ton on 40s! I’ll let you ralley it!! Hahaha
Use to watch every episode haven't seen a video since you left UA-cam was a dark day for me now that shat too nice for roadkill
Dave, Would you PLEASE do a compound turbo on a gasoline engine! we need to see what a budget pikes peak car looks like. ALSO no doubt it should do well going over the Rockies!
Yess finally the bj5 its on youtube
I like how the exhaust pipes blow the water away from the intake
You know its a good day in Massachusetts when theres a new road kill vid
This is at last a year old
You know they are real car guys bc they age 10 years for every actual year. Legends.
that thing sounds fantastic!
Nice, love it! Keep this project alive!
I just “panic ordered” for my RZR. I literally LOL’d when he said that.
I think the Jeep is my new favorite!
For a long time I've been trying to figure out where I have seen Freiberger before, or at least who he reminds me of.
He reminds me of the guitar player in Cheap Trick, the one who wears the ball cap. (rick neilson)
Perhaps that IS a young Freiberger before his hot rod phase of life.
Except Rick Neilson is older than Freiberger.
@@clint8130 Perhaps that's only what they want you to think.
Fun Episode now that you did all the work and time in it can I have this wonderful machine lol 😆😂😂
This looks like my sand wash in riverside California
Great episode guys!
Ah, another roadkill "sampler". Fryberger going back to his roots, that's cool. Dulcich is no Finnegan, but for a gearhead he's not a complete stiff. Blown Jeep looks like fun. Still not paying to watch Roadkill
Its 5cnd for a month if that's to much for you then get a better job
I cant get it in nz anyway...
Dulcich is the uncle or the neighbor every aspiring gearhead had growing up. The guy you’d go to when you broke a bike chain and didn’t know how to fix it or that helped you build your first go kart. I like his junkyard/farmer style of getting things done
What a dumb comment. Dulcich is better that vin
Chris w, I didnt watch those other shoes when they were free. Why would I pay to watch them now?
That said, I guarantee I make more than you.
High horsepower short wheelbase and stock drum brakes perfect recipe for excitement
No better sound than a V8 with blower whine. Especially if it has a big cam.
Love this show
Dulcich rules! Dulcich don't play 👽!
I have a 74 CJ5 with a built naturally asperated 401 AMC that is unbelievably fast. I wonder just how fast this 75 will be once its actually road worthy
What year was the 1st v8? 73? 74? I picked up a cj5 and was told it originally had the 1st year v8. I need engine and trans.
Motortrend for the rest of the world
But it looks a whole lot cooler I think that's the first thing you need to have
How are you two still alive ?
Make it do wheelies!!!! With a beefier gear train. Also please revisit the boon duggy and make it unnecessarily fast....... With wheelies!!
You can see the water/steam come out of the headers when you go through that river !
Best day ever !!
What a great idea!
Central Valley. I'm thinking somewhere outside of Stockton, San Joaquin Co.
They raced the stocker at Hollister. The barn is somewhere down around the 5 and 99 north of La.
There was a couple of brothers in New Zealand did that back in the 1970 or 80
They could get it to wheel stand with the front differential in, the shadwick brothers
Wow
I'm pretty much over supercharged "hero" cars. but a blown, down and dirty jeep is pretty cool.
freiburger has always reminded me of eddy from ed edd n eddy lol
Awesome
Sounds so good
The jeep is the right mopar sassy grass green.
watching this after blowing my t case the other day on the highway lol
Holy molly even Rick is there wow
Oooo I miss the youtube edition of roadkill!!! Free is so much better!! Pahahaa
Don't be so tight, the Motortrend app. is a whopping 5 bucks a month and has all of the shows on it, and they come out sooner than they do on TV. Skip that one pack of cigarettes and you've got it covered.
Yup. Undersized driveline breaks between a big engine and big tires.
Are those the Zoomies off the Marshmallow Mouse?
Cool men... fantastic 🤩🔥
i love seeng rick there
My question is rhis . How the Hades did that engine not drown out with all that water hitting those K&N's
Wish these two where my uncles lol
Who does the drone footage?
Front wheel drive!!??? We don’t need no stinking front wheel drive!
Thats my Old Cj5 jeep
Please give some idea i also have cj5 i have to change the engine which engine should i install in it
Nice
what is your guyzz insurance like?? does it go by cubic inches??,,, or RPM??
Where is this beautiful spot ?
I think that's on Dulsich's Farm....But I don't know where that is.
@@ViewThis. bakersfield somewhere
@@haywood12 Ahhh, Okay.
14:36
Rev limiter.... evil laugh. Classic.
is that ed china?
No, it's Steve Dulcich.
Definitely need a rematch with a lane change
Ever jeep needs supercharger
I dare you to drive that on a rainy day.
I love it ....
0:32 Horsepower? You mean Torque !! Just right for that kind of vehicle.
Where is that sand wash at?
Maybe Dulsich's farm, or private property - a place we can never go.
nice :)
Freiburger: My jeep lost to a stock 6 cylinder jeep!
Me who has a bone stock '46 flat 4 cj2a: aww
I learned the hard way that more HP does not always equal better performance. Short wheelbase vehicles with high Hp are a waste and are an accident waiting to happen at fast speeds. The only time more HP might be usable is in mud or sand.
I have a cj5 that does we drag race 100 yds in the sand and then runs 1/4 at around 130 mph.
You must be new around here......
Has he replaced finagan
No, this is Roadkill Garage. Finnegan is still on Roadkill.
Use 3rd as 1st
Another clip show
Is there a way you would set up say that 383 for torque rather than herspers?
Like different heads or pistons? Valve train, cam etc? Or is it all tuning?
Try small H.C.I. and lots of gear.
chevy rear main seal first year 86.
👍👍
👍
I have a '72 CJ5 I'll let you do that to...:_
You’ve got enough HP if the Blower/Carbs stick are higher than the windshield/ You’re spraying parts behind you/Your gas mileage goes from 7 MPG to 7 GPM !!
But.... smiles per gallon.
How does water not get into the engine lolol
You know pewe had to get in on a blown sb jeep
That thing is a beast can you do a v8 fj40 landcruiser next ?
Still not paying to watch it. .. and before someone starts, I didn't watch those other shows when they were free, so why would I PAY to watch them now?
Waow
Hydrogrifics 😂
4 wheel drive? Ja?
At any point during that drag race, did either of you two yahoos, fear for your lives?
You both look tired, exhausted - and are trying to overplay it? So the viewer doesn't see? Seems your business now runs you. To much dates, team meetings, planung, team-meetings, video editing, boring interviews with people who haven't got a clue, money struggle? Time for a brake? Or just say goodbye and let go? And you are getting old, just like we do, so we see your bones cracking, when you moove, 'restrictions of moovement when getting up or mooving' some would say? No, not elderly people yet - but close/closer? You used to be free people - and very special ones amongst the very free. We loved you.
08:31 heheheheheheeeeee
Hahaha, so funny xD
