In this thrilling episode from the MotorTrend Channel, the team dives headfirst into the world of the Crusher Impala, a 1969 Chevy that has left its mark on the Roadkill and Roadkill Garage series. With a massive big block Chevrolet engine under the hood, complete with a 871 supercharger and Quick Performance rear end, this American land yacht is a force to be reckoned with. However, faced with persistent carburetor issues and a lackluster performance at Roadkill Knights, the decision is made to switch to the cutting-edge Holly sniper EFI system. The team embarks on a journey to Hot Rod Ranch in California to kickstart the transformation.
As they roll up their sleeves and get to work, the carburetors are swiftly removed to make way for the new Holly sniper throttle bodies. The fuel system undergoes a significant upgrade with an Aeromotive Phantom setup and a Holly regulator, ensuring optimal performance for the Impala. The team tackles the intricate process of rewiring the electrical system, connecting vital sensors like the coolant temperature sensor and O2 sensor to complete the EFI conversion. With each component meticulously installed, the Impala edges closer to a new era of power and efficiency.
Amidst the clinks of tools and the hum of engines, the team's dedication to perfection shines through as they navigate the challenges of adapting the throttle linkage and pedal assembly for the EFI system. The final touches are put in place as the O2 sensor is secured in the exhaust pipe, marking the last step before bidding farewell to the carburetor era. With the conversion nearing completion, the Crusher Impala stands poised to unleash its full potential on the road, a testament to the team's relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
