In Roadkill Garage season 5 episode 4, titled "Fresh 500ci for the Caddy Gremmie!," hosts David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich take on the challenge of upgrading a Cadillac "Gremmie" with a brand new 500 cubic inch engine. The Gremmie, a nickname for the Cadillac Eldorado, was a notoriously heavy car with a notoriously weak engine, making it a perfect candidate for a major power boost.

The episode begins with Freiburger and Dulcich introducing the car and discussing their plan to rebuild its engine. They take the Gremmie out for a spin to assess its current condition, which is less than ideal. The engine struggles to get the car up to speed, and the brakes are in need of serious attention.

After returning to the garage, the hosts begin disassembling the engine, taking care to label all the parts so they can be reassembled properly. They quickly discover that the engine is in even worse shape than they thought, with several components completely shot. However, they're undaunted and begin the process of cleaning and rebuilding the engine block.

Once the block is cleaned and free of debris, Freiburger and Dulcich begin building the new engine, adding new heads, pistons, and other components. They take care to explain each step to the viewers, providing valuable insights for gearheads looking to take on a similar project.

While the engine is coming together, the hosts also tackle the car's brakes, replacing several components and ensuring that they're in good working order. They also address some wiring issues and add some cosmetic touches to the interior to spruce things up.

Once the engine is complete, Freiburger and Dulcich install it into the Gremmie and take it for a test drive. The results are impressive, with the car now packing plenty of power and torque. The handling and braking have also been significantly improved, making the car much safer and more enjoyable to drive.

Throughout the episode, the hosts share their passion and expertise for working on cars, providing plenty of insights and tips for viewers. They also have plenty of fun, cracking jokes and sharing stories about their experiences working on cars.

Overall, "Fresh 500ci for the Caddy Gremmie!" is a great episode for anyone interested in rebuilding car engines. Freiburger and Dulcich do an excellent job of explaining each step of the process, making it accessible for both seasoned gearheads and beginners alike. Whether you're a Cadillac fan or just love a good engine rebuild, this episode is sure to entertain and educate.
