Reviving a Vintage Wagon: Black Hills Road Trip Transformation

In this thrilling episode of MotorTrend Channel, the team embarks on a daring adventure in the picturesque Black Hills of South Dakota with the iconic Black Hills Blazer. Along the way, they stumble upon a hidden gem - a 1987 Delta 88 Custom Cruiser wagon, complete with vintage charm and potential. With plans to transform this classic into a pro-touring masterpiece, the crew dives headfirst into the project, facing challenges and surprises at every turn.

As they delve into the restoration process, the team uncovers the wagon's smogged-out 307 engine, in dire need of attention. A mysterious rod knock throws a wrench into their plans, leading them on a quest for a suitable replacement engine. After a stroke of luck lands them a $600 Oldsmobile engine and transmission, the real work begins. From broken studs to missing parts, the team navigates obstacles with skill and determination, breathing new life into the vintage vehicle.

With meticulous care and attention to detail, the crew meticulously cleans up the engine bay, rebuilds the engine, and installs essential components for optimal performance. Opting for a Holley carburetor and PerTronix ignition system, they prioritize simplicity and power, setting the stage for an epic road trip through the Black Hills. As they test the engine's components and prepare for ignition, the team's hard work and dedication culminate in a thrilling moment of truth - will the engine roar to life, or will their efforts fall short?
