- The Hellcat drivetrain will always be remembered, but the General Mayhem will never die. On this episode of Roadkill Garage, the legendary ’68 Dodge Charger known as General Mayhem gets stripped of its 707-hp Hellcat engine and all the accompanying electronics as Freiburger and Dulcich vow to take it from the dragstrip setup back to its motorhome 440-powered V-8 and gravel-chucking roots.

Do you prefer the General Mayhem with the Hellcat engine or the 440?
440, that is the best way for Mayhem to powered
We prefer free episodes all the time, of the shows that would be nothing without the CZcams community.
hellcat
engine
I prefer the 440 , especially a worked 440
440
We need more these! The rest of the world is suffering for not being able to watch these from MotorTrend.
I feel ever since MCM beat them a drag race , they ran away from youtube with there taiks between there legs , puK motor trend to put profits ahead of there international viewers . Dump executives there .
@@AndreasLarsson95 you would also need a credit card with a US or Canada address, that's when I decided motor trend wasn't worth the effort
@@AndreasLarsson95 you need a american credit card too
@@Ornelas11B Gotta watch them while you can! What's Crossed Rifles? Crossed Rifles like on a LCPL chevron?
I literally have access to the motor trend app, yet I still watch 75% of my motor trend shows on youtube.
Going back to the 440 was a great call. I enjoyed that version better than the hellcat version.
Ditto
I'm so happy that you're taking the Charger back to it's motorhome 440 roots, because I love the car's budget rat-rod theme
Yeah, I was so inspired by this, I went out into the drive way and ripped the A/C, power steering and fuel injection off my 98' Camry station wagon, just so I could experience the 'purity'.
How’s that workin out for you?
@@thecyclist01 Not good
Chris birdsong on junkerup channel shows what he does to this charger. He shows the body is somewhat twisted from the drag racing. He is a genius at repairing all this.
Yup. Those rebuild videos had me floored. Makes you wonder how the hellcat swap guys even had the guts to chop up a charger the way they did lol
Subbed to that channel, great to see chargers getting saved.
@@mysterywrecked Yeah that guy finds alot of b body cars and he is a master at what he does. reminds me of mark worman from graveyard cars.
@@viktorhardindyrvold4234 , yeah, what those guys did was criminal. The Fast and Furious charger, General Lee and General Mayhem are the most iconic Chargers of all time. Mayhem is unique because it represents the regular guy’s ability to buy, build and thrash a piece of automotive history. I’m glad it has been given the care it deserves and restored to its original trash-racer status.
@@davebrewer9279 They had to build the entire car in less than 2 weeks, they didn't have time to do it right
Never was a fan of the Hellcat drivetrain in General Mayhem. Glad the 440 is back.
Why not?
Lame
Sooooo happy these are back on CZcams.
Not really back. This episode is old.
Ahh, I can rest easier at night. I haven't seen much of roadkill since this all disappeared from youtube (luckily vice grip garage filled that void) but that whole swap with all the ugly modern stuff, including the rear lights was like the death of the whole purpose and meaning of the car... and in some ways the show. I'm really happy to see it get put back to how it should be, or at least in the process. Cool to see the guys get some release from it too!
I wouldn’t have even discovered VGG if it weren’t for roadkill lol. Been a fan of both since like 2016
440 lives on forever!!!
That's how I remembered the show was.
Purely
Birdsong did amazing work on this car. Really glad yall brought this one back to a 440 too👊
and yet no mention of the unbutchering that chris did to the back half of this car.
@@jeffebinger1218 yea this sode was shot before Chris fixed it.
Another full episode! THANKS GUYS! :D
Simplicity is under-rated.
It’s rated exactly where it belongs.
Less is more when it comes to hot rods
Bout time...the 440 is the coolest motor of all the times.
Thank you don’t know how many of us need to comment more full episodes This is what we want
I miss the pre-MotorTrend days. Remember watching all the roadkill episodes on YT over and over. Those days are over and these snippets will have to suffice.
In a sea full off hellcats, Ls1 and coyotes muscle rods ,going back to the 440 is a great idea, it was the way born (built) and became the legendary General Mayhem 😀
Very happy that you posted this it's been a long time, remembering you and finn. running down the highway with ATF smoke screen behind you. Good Times!
General Mayhem thanks you for getting rid of the Hellcat stuff.
Also Birdsong did amazing on this car afterwards
I can’t believe how much it would have cost a speed shop to put all that together! Not to mention cost of the kit! Wowza guys! This was one of the balsiest clips I’ve ever seen anyone pull off! My hat is off and I salute you my friend!😮😊
Yes! 68 Chargers and 440s. Two great tastes that taste great together.
Thank you MT for uploading, I'm in EU....
You have NO idea how relieved I was to see that this car was going back to the old school tech. I was hoping this would happen, and you wouldn't get forced into making it into another project RDF, which is "roaring dumpster fire" formerly project x. That still enrages me that such an iconic beast would be reduced to being a golf cart. This car will take the place of project x in my heart for being a badass. It may not have the movie credit, but it's also not a golf cart.
Grass roots gear heads everywhere are cheering you on. Restore it to its former 440 glory!
Dolsich goes "Im ready... At all times!" I love it! Thats my modo on everything.
This is the best "improvement" you have made to a car. Would have been fun to see before and after weight and power to weight ratio. That was a lot of stuff that came out.
They also dumped a hellcat engine that made significantly more power than the 440.
@@RevolutionMuscle Ya but he mentioned forged internals on the 440. So a 440 all done up and if using forged stuff, he obviously is planning on making some good numbers. So won't be significantly anything by the time he's done lmao. Probably be making as much or more..... hopefully!
I love that I'm finding these on CZcams recently...
General Mayhem is the sole reason I began watching Roadkill... :D
Great to hear you guys, the general (and me) breath that sigh of relief to throwing all this modern day electronic garbage out! 😂 Back to the roots! I do remember the episode at Dirt Fish! Epic! Totally agree with the retrograde! Keep it up guys!👍
I remember that episode too. I could feel the thrill of riding along. Good ol' fun!
This episode taught me two things:
1. The General Mayhem is cooler in its "Raw" form.
2. I'm never going to drink coke again.
I LOVE YOUR 440 MOTORHOME EPISODE!!!! A MUST-WATCH!!!!
That one never gets old. Probably the pinnacle of episodes in my opinion.
"I'm going to have to dispose of this in a socially responsible way". Proceeds to dump more of it lol. These guys are a national treasure.
Back to the 440/727 great! The Hellcat is great but....we want to see Roadkill modify and upgrade the motor home drive train. Much more fun. The fun, the fun, the fun is in the doing! Lol
It's refreshing to see a couple of seasoned guys using hearing protection...
I'm so glad to see these back on youtube. Please bring more of them back to youtube.
Some reason seeing Finnegan drift general mayhem back of my head. All I can hear is good old boys never meaning no harm....
Please MT,add more of these videos on YT for the rest of the world OUTSIDE the US can enjoy Roadkill again...
You really messed it up with the pay wall and app for most of us.
All the crew working on these videos deserve it
Finally more full length episodes!
*trying to remove modern bit* 'what is this, i don't like it' had me giggling like heck lol
6 minutes in Hertz has been the ad twice. Come rent a legend. Rent a Shelby Mustang. How many of those will be returned with piston exit hole somewhere.
Edit;Thanks Hertz for making this episode possible. 6 ads in all. When I return the Co ra with engine carnage. We are going to good,right?
Lol got same commercials
I'm glad both you guys are on here
How long ago was this filmed? Chris songbird already fully did all the metal work on the car and finished months ago.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH MY HOT ROD FAMILY!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!
Cant wait to see this car back to a complete drivable condition again 😊Chris birdsong has done an incredible job on putting this car rite again 👍
Glad it's going back to near stock. Putting a Hellcat engine in it never seemed quite right to me. All of the modern wiring and garbage is just a mess to deal with. I'm used to a '70 Charger with the 383, but seeing the 440 go back in is awesome.
Love there 2! Great friends & always awesome content for us gear heads
Love the hoodie when looking over the 440. Took a moment or two but I get it.
I can't wait to watch this episode again in 10 years!
Another excellent episode with my favorite car of yours ever.... One of my favorite videos was the original build on this car...
I completely agree getting rid of all of the modern hellcat stuff is the right way to go with that car... I will always prefer old school over new technology. 👍👍
Great shows keep up the good work y'all are car gods if there was any
Ahh, missed General Mayhem and the guys a lot! Glad to see this here! Thanks MotorTrend! (Ps. When I can watch MotorTrend in Europe!? WHEN!?!!!)
Always the best advice to have reliable fun☮️🤠
These 2, Flanigan, Tony Angelo, and Derek VGG are the best are the best 5 in the business. They all 5 need to do a build together on here
What about Lucky?
@@Smot_Vee lucky is awesome too.
ChuckinSteel vgg is a no talent hack. IMO.
@@lilorbielilorbie2496 no. Just bc he does revives dosnt mean he is a hack. He has complete builds on his channel too. You think those top mechanics would be on his team and show if they thought he was a hack. The man knows his stuff and there is no doubt about it. There is already tons of hot rod shows and he just went a different route for something different. His car independence is a excellent example of why he isn't a hack. Family oriented as well. Your allowed your opinion tho. Him and Tony almost one at the freedom factory the other day.
@@ChuckinSteel Yes I can have my opinion. And I would rather watch paint dry than anything that vgg puts here on yt. He sold out to mt .So that all I need to know about him.
so glad the proper big headlights are back
Glad you guys are putting the 440 back in it.
You can lighten up that boat anchor with lots of aluminum parts--how many 440s have been massaged for HP? Countless! Would you please get a proper grille for that thing?
Thanks motorTrend, this is awesome!
Back when I used to drag race I always hated to go up against anything with a 440. They had tons of torque even back in the 60's.
Yes !
2 years without Roadkill just because I'm not in North America, it's good to see it here !
I am just glad the car is still gonna used on roadkill...440's are a favorite!
I loved the motorhome engine episode. Mostly for asking the 311 highway person for an axe to remove the door 😂. That kind of hack-it-together style is what I loved.
So glad to see mayhem back
The original dirt racing charger was my favourite version
Something satisfying about watching someone de-restomod a car 😂
Wonder if the crew that installed all the new stuff is watching and crying lol
glad to see you back on youtube
Awesome to see General Mayhem back.
Now it's back to 'General Mayhem' 👍👍👍
Yes motortrend! Keep posting these!!!!!
The old waiting room music
Is what I was on board with man
Groovy jams man
So cool there re-installing the big block . I enjoy the new technology but the OG big block is timeless .
Where is my KABOOM? There should have been an Earth shattering KABOOM!
Always felt the mayhem symbolised roadkill. Started off cool and accessible. Then got fancier and never to be seen again. Seeing it back with a 440 gives me hope that roadkill will be available to non Americans soon 😃
Great as usual out of this pair!
Glad your back,missed you guys.
*You’re
You can make naturally assperated 440s run good , trust me .
I helped my son build a car and we were on the fence between 426 and 440 .
Luckily I came to senses and went with a slightly bored and stroked 440 .
love watching you guys .you should be on every day
Loved this episode! GIVE ME MORE!!
Birdsong is an Artist.
My mechanic buddy used to flick his cigarette butt into a barrel of freshly drained gas to watch people freak. As a liquid, gasoline is reluctant to ignite. Needs air. Get a fan sucking the vapours out of the garage. That's the boom boom part.
p.s. I love the way Steve's face gets all squinched up when he's grinding, or shifting gears.
Ah this brings back memorys of when I was 5, I was a weird car nut kid loved roadkill. I miss the other guy (its been a while since watched this), he was so funny. When i was still young i was so disappointed roadkill wasn't on Netflix some December day. Anyway, love roadkill and miss the og days of it.
I loved it just the way it was with the Hellcat fun kit.
Woohoo! Ya! Love these guys.🇨🇦
Sweet I thought I’ll never see the general mayhem again 🤟🏾 I would love to be gifted such an engine
"What is this?"
"I dunno"
🤣 🤣 🤣
love you guys!
this, now this is roadkill!
Happy to watch all the commercials to see this show. MT please upload to youtube. I dont mind the episodes being a week later. Or the commercials. You need the money to. But we cant watch Mt on demand here...
They must spend thousands per episode.
I tried MTOD--hated it. YT is the right stuff.
Nice seeing the mayhem again especially since it's a 68 charger. I got to get ny 68 charger done next year
These flamboyant guys are good mechanics
Yell was quite convincing NGL lol. Good stuff there dave lol
I didn't mind the hellcat motor in general mayhem. But I do agree with David and Steve and I'm only 22 years old. It needs to go back to the original 440 engine and just upgrade that motor, trans and stuff. The newer stuff did take a lot of space and didn't make the car really that functional like the trunk had no room to put anything and so on so forth. My dream car is trying to get a 68-70 charger with the original 440 in it.
The most iconic muscle car here in Australia is the Holden Monaro.
Love your videos,keep them coming,ok.
Watching this is giving me tinnitus. An ear plug manufacturer needs to sponsor these guys.
Now this I’ve been curious to see
I love that it's free to CZcamsrs again, beauty
Cool to see this thing again! I made a Roadkill livery on one of the older Forza Horizon games of this car back in the day, was a ton of ppl that used it on there. Don't believe they had a Charger on the game I did it on though, pretty sure it was a GTO I made the livery for.
I put a Blasphemi livery on my '55 Chevy gasser and tuned it to be the ultimate wheelie machine on Horizon 4. It could drag bumper through all 6 gears lmao
One of my favorite car shows.😮
Makes me sad to see all of that work taken out. I wonder if the Hellcat setup would be up for sale by Hot Rod mag?
Had a friend with a beautiful CJ7 who ruined it when he switched out the engine and had to install a modern steering wheel and dash.
That's my biggest pet peeve! The steering wheel!
Good to see you guys give junker up a shout out.
That intro was hilarious 😆
