Ima fire this off out of love. I've been a drinker for almost 30 years. I've been in 8 rehabs. I've seen more than anyone should. I see Tony folding onto himself. Only one way to fix this. Mike Finnegan had to do this 12 years ago. Only sober rolling cameras. And if your hungover, still no cameras. He's gonna have to pick. His channel and his friends.... Or dive down a road where alc is undefeated. Make The change now
I worked a place that used these style desks for manufacturing assembly. They were fantastic as not everyone is the same height. I always thought it would be a cool desk for home but the ones they had cost thousands of dollars. Its great to see you can get these for a affordable price!
I’m not trying to be a kiss a** but, Stay Tuned is honestly one of the top car culture channels on the TH-cam’s! Tony’s blatantly obvious talent as a narrator throughout each video is a huge plus in my opinion. His years of television experience bleeds through, making each of their videos that much better. We all know how much a bad narrator/person explaining what’s happening in the video, can throw and ruin the entire vibe of the video. I think it’s so cool Tony has included his pals in the channel. He explains things in simple terms so anyone can understand, no matter their mechanical knowledge/background. Just want to say, I think it’s worth mentioning how far these guys have come in the short amount of time they have been posting content. I’m calling it now, this channel is going to continue to grow and become one of the big boys on the scene. Keep rocking dudes! 🤘🏼🇺🇸
Could not agree more. You guys won't have to worry that much about day time jobs in the future. Can really see you guys making it with this killer ass channel 💯💯💯
I love LS swaps. Don't listen to the boring people who complain and never even wrench on their own cars. Keep shoving LS engines in stuff! I would love to see more!
Dude, the Church Boys Racing guys are incredible. I blew up my motor after Power Tour in 2019 up near Lake Erie. They let me stay at their lake house, then trailered my truck down to Summit Racing to meet my family to haul that junk back to TN. Really top notch family.
For future reference for anyone that's installing new carpet and needs to cut out a section for their shifter or put some holes in for their seat mount bolts, the cleanest way to do it is to take a utility knife blade and clamp it into a vise grip, then heat it with a torch so it melts the edge of the carpet as you cut/melt through it...for bolt holes or wiring holes, use a bolt in a vise grip and heat up the head of it for a clean hexagon shaped hole...it stinks like hell, but you won't have to fuck around with carpet fuzzies or frayed edges...
Hear Hear!! Happy for Bart getting the lil Nova kickin butt & takin names! Thanks for takin us along Toni. So 6 liter is 366 cubic inches of LS Powah Baby! 😎👍
Tony you make these shows as if it was Thursday night in the garage with my friends 15-20 years ago. We got old and don't do that anymore but it's like it never stopped watching your vids. Thanks man.
The little things like Owen shifting the car making noises, the breaks eating pizza to the funny stuff you all say all through the video is why this channel kicks ass!!! Great video, great build, and those mufflers do sound really good!
One of my favorite things about this show is you DONT stop showing issues that pop up and not just do a “we will just finish this up off screen and be right back”. Best car channel on the TH-cam’s bar none.
You guys always hit a really nice balance in the edit, an hour seems to pass quickly with no boring bits, and you cover the details (like the transmission issue). Last week's episode being shorter was the right call too, as it was all about the engine, not a full build. Editing's hard so big respect on that side of things.
@@StayTunedTAhey boys you’ve probably checked it out already but permatex makes orange thread locker. Holds like red breaks like blue. Just rebuilt the front of my Subaru suspension with it 👍
Weekend for some people. The ones who have jobs that still follow societal norms. Like banks, car dealers, Dr offices, you know the stuff people don't need to do on the weekend EVER! 😂
Nice job on the nova guys! I just wanna say it's kinda silly to hate on the LS swap. Before the LS swap came around, the small block 350 350 combo was hated by all the haters. Customize your hot rod the way that makes you happy.
I loved the smile on Barb's son when they were in the car gunning the engine. There is no *way* this young man won't be a gearhead....heck, he probably already is.
It's an awesome platform. We got a 400k mile 2000 with a 6.0 Yukon that noone does maintenance to I mean they just drive it I replaced the fuel tank hoses and fittings and literally yesterday it passed emissions with flying colors
20:44 can we appreciate that light placement for a minute? Only a man of culture knows to place the light source behind the eyeballs of the person trying to do work. 👍👍👍 well done Sir.
16:29 ALMOST a plumber crack moment! Thank god, the internet was saved from that! I like how you became a master of installing, removing, installing, removing and installing the TKX!
Tony, you guys are killing it! Thank you! For the LS haters: Hot rodding is about making power by whatever means you have, that makes an LS swap one bad @$$ option! Especially when it will bolt up so easy on ths car! Btw, I'm a FORD guy! 🤯
We can all relate to Barb's smile and "LET'S GO" when that beauty fired up for the first time. This channel continues to set the bar for authentic hot rodding goodness. Keep it up gents!
Our traditional small blocks for oval track, we offset ground cranks, used a 6" rod, angle milled heads, etc. And the LS is all that and more. Im old school dude but just gotta respect the LS platform. Cam, headers and whammo' 500+hp and lives on pump gas for 200,000 miles. Simply crazy good platform.
@ryansommerfeld2098 oh lord yes. Tons of dollars to build a remotely reliable/good parts 500hp+ old school small block. Simply can't touch an LS for so many reasons.
Tony says "pretty good...!". Talk about an understated response, lol! That looks like its gonna be an epic ride, definitely want to see just what all it can do. BUT, the most important fact is what Tony said, 3 generations working on that Nova! Congrats! Nothing better than family learning the next generation! Thanx !
I ain't mad about an LS, ever, never listen to those dudes, ever. $800 for a cammed 6L is awfully good. I really need to get to work on the LQ4 in my yard and get it into my GTO...
always look forward to Friday Stay Tuned uploads, get home from work, grab a few beers and watch the boys go to work. Thanks for a great end to my week guys. Keep it up, love what you do.
While my dad was out on a bender, I was hanging out with my uncle at the age of five. I was inside the car as my uncle ran into the house and I decided to shift through the gears and put it in neutral. I never seen my uncle running so hard down the driveway to get me and his car lol. Moral of the story, don't teach a kid how to shift a car if you want to keep it in one spot.
Really blown away with how much I love watching this stuff. You are a legend! You seriously know your stuff and you teach your boys well. 10/10 You guys rock. Almost 100’000 views in 24hrs 🙌🔥
I’m a mopar man … but this video shows how much fun the average guy can have with a street car that “only” has 500 hp. People are jaded now , because of the crazy power available off the showroom floor. The down side of that , is those “showroom” cars are beyond what the average guy can afford. I’d love to buy a hellcat or a demon…. I just don’t have over 90 grand to get one. Novas are light cars. 500 hp in a light car , is REALLY fun !!
Hey Tony, I was watching this one yesterday, and you guys just keep getting better and better. This is the best car show ever, on any network, any era. Thanks for doing what you do. Loved having the kid shifting for you!!
Here’s the thing…LS swaps are awesome because they are attainable. Not everyone has the cash for 500” big block. The junk yard content is way more relatable for your average gear head. I’m in the middle of a LS chassis swap in a 1960 Apache shortbox on a 2006 Tahoe frame, I put a cam and headers on the 5.3, and it parties. Hands down the most fun of all the projects I have. So keep it up with the LS content. Maybe do a truck next!
No, but some of us do.... 😜 Also, do NOT forget how EXPENSIVE it gets to get an LS installed in the car and running.... I bet there's well over $10k invested in the EFI system, intake, Injectors, sensors, wiring, oil pan, headers, ignition system and so on... Just to install an LS into an older vehicle, you will need a $700+ ignition box just to get spark to the thing. THEN comes the fuel system... It's NOT cheap to install an LS into a vehicle that never had one. It is NOT attainable by everyone. It IS a waste of time to try and cobble a factory LS PCM and wire harness into an older vehicle also. Your tuning options are VERY limited if you do that also. Now you will need a laptop, special cable, the software, and ESPECIALLY the knowledge to work with the factory PCM. If you would have to take the vehicle somewhere to be tuned, because you can't deal with the factory PCM, there goes another $1500. It gets VERY pricey to install an LS engine into an older car.
You’re guy post just made my Friday ! Was that barbs LS swap out for a burn this morning 🚀it felt like a 4.8 on the stay tuned scale ! Keep up great content ! Pizza out 🍕
Do the dudes that hate LS swaps also live in a house without electricity and running water because that’s old school! I love the old stuff and new stuff. I have an sbc in my car but I also appreciate the new tech. Love this channel.
It was really cool watching little Owen make a core memory with Barb starting the Nova for the first time, this is the kind of wholesome stuff that makes your channel great. Keep up the great work guys you're kicking ass!
I absolutely love the LS motor and LS waps solid motors.I love these guys.They're the real deal.I love the backdrops of country roads.Notion and again, when they're doing stuff.They get down explain everything and I love.They keep their shop looking like a shop.Great job guys
I definitely don’t hate LS engines or swaps. It just gets real boring on some channels and at the drag strip with the parade of Fox body Mustangs that have LS swaps. I just enjoy some creativity once in awhile like you putting a v12 in your Mustang. An LS in a GM product is very appropriate but not seen as much. Glad for Barb doing this. I’m old enough to have lived through the “everything needs an SBC phase of history” so this LS craze is not surprising. Making OEM parts better, faster and stronger is what hot rodder do. Love your content because you do so many diverse builds. Keep it up!
Im no LS advocate but im not a hater either. Its the best bang for the buck, going as fast as possible for the least amount possible, thats been the core of hot rodding since day one.
I just slowed down long enough to finally watch the episode and its awesome as usual this channel is gonna blow the hell up soon for sure and tony you're a freaking Rockstar brother keep it up!!
Great episode, and great to see all the Barb boys featured.. that's what it's all about. I was a little late watching this one(Saturday evening in Australia) but it worked out well because I could have a couple of beers while watching instead of my usual Saturday morning coffee 😂
The best engine - trans setup I have ever seen is a gen 2 3.8l supercharged attached to a 5sp form a 2wd 95 chev 2wd truck. Insane power and great mpg.
Pro Tip, Use rivet nuts instead of pop rivets on your transmission cover, so you can remove it with ease & reinstall it quickly with confidence. When maintenance has to be performed.
Great job guys. You nailed it. First, gen Nova with an LS swap is about the ultimate in my mind. Smaller vehicle, lighter weight and a timeless body style. Great job again! Keep up the good work and can't wait to see what comes next
"I say up!" Love it haha, much thanks to my brother DS for the pizza shoutout, I was watching this at like 1am half asleep and jumped off the fucking couch, so stoked!
we're.....we're gunna lose..ssssomething! i dont know! 😂 Thanks for the inspiration. i have wanted to build something since I was about 8; this video is massive inspiration and encouragement to go get after it.

So long as it's not Ford's or mopars I'm all about it haha
Don’t worry, they will keep doing it because the junkyard LS’s need to be swapped out about every month or so hahaha
LS swap the world bro!
Easy there randomness I love Ford's or any cool engine.everyone should love LS engines no matter brand loyalty they are great.
@@carlsing1190LS swaps are boring, in a good way. They just work, make tons of power, and someone somewhere makes a kit to bolt one into anything.

The best! Memories for all. Especially for Owen!

Forget anyone that’s “bored” by this build. I liked it so much I donated a pizza! Keep it fellas, badass build.
I agree this is a nice classy build. I understand that so many people do an LS swap, but it's a no-brainer cause of the dollar to horsepower ratio.
Best part is the 5-speed and the workout installing it
Car is insane! Loved the guest appearances from Barb Dad and Barb Boy! Let’s bring em back from time to time!
you misspelled shifter-monkey
Loved the atta boy to Tony From Barbs Dad when they got the engine in!
Loved having him on the show.
He’s a national treasure 😂
Agreed, he was a great guest to see in the shop. Actually all their guests are super cool
"We got an impatient toddler here, me. Owen's here too". 😂🤣
That made me laugh too. Tony is hilarious.

Watching barb do a clutch dumping, gear grabbing, limiter burnout was the best way to end this episode
It was the ONLY way to end this episode....
Our traditional small blocks for oval track, we offset ground cranks, used a 6" rod, angle milled heads, etc. And the LS is all that and more. Im old school dude but just gotta respect the LS platform. Cam, headers and whammo' 500+hp and lives on pump gas for 200,000 miles. Simply crazy good platform.
Yes, they are so good out of the box and they never seem to leak anything!
@StayTunedTA simply superior in all ways- EXCEPT looks. But they are getting better looking.
@PatandDoopypoopy that all depends on how much money you want to throw at it. There are great looking intake packages and serp belt systems.
@PatanDoopypoopy and all of that work would have cost a lot more than getting 500+ out of a LS. That much in an LY6 would get you way over 500
@ryansommerfeld2098 oh lord yes. Tons of dollars to build a remotely reliable/good parts 500hp+ old school small block. Simply can't touch an LS for so many reasons.
That little boy is gonna Love that car
That thing is awesome! Shoutout to Barb, for giving it the beans.
One of the best shows on the Tube! Stay Tuned Fridays! 👍👍👍
Hell yea thanks for watching! - Barb
I'm down with LS swaps, as long as its not every video. 7500 rpm is pretty wild! Sounded excellent at that rpm.
Tony says "pretty good...!". Talk about an understated response, lol! That looks like its gonna be an epic ride, definitely want to see just what all it can do. BUT, the most important fact is what Tony said, 3 generations working on that Nova! Congrats! Nothing better than family learning the next generation! Thanx !
You know it!
That was pretty darn awesome 🎉 the final burnout brought tears of joy to my eyes 😂😂😂❤
I ain't mad about an LS, ever, never listen to those dudes, ever. $800 for a cammed 6L is awfully good. I really need to get to work on the LQ4 in my yard and get it into my GTO...
Everyone's LS project starts with a $500-1000 motor, but I can't seem to even find one with 200,000 miles for less than $1300 where I live lol
$800? 😆 🤣
Have you ANY idea how much the REST of the stuff cost to install it into that car?
There's prolly over $10k invested into that $800 motor
always look forward to Friday Stay Tuned uploads, get home from work, grab a few beers and watch the boys go to work. Thanks for a great end to my week guys. Keep it up, love what you do.
Right on, thanks for watching!

I absolutely love the LS motor and LS waps solid motors.I love these guys.They're the real deal.I love the backdrops of country roads.Notion and again, when they're doing stuff.They get down explain everything and I love.They keep their shop looking like a shop.Great job guys
I definitely don’t hate LS engines or swaps. It just gets real boring on some channels and at the drag strip with the parade of Fox body Mustangs that have LS swaps. I just enjoy some creativity once in awhile like you putting a v12 in your Mustang. An LS in a GM product is very appropriate but not seen as much. Glad for Barb doing this. I’m old enough to have lived through the “everything needs an SBC phase of history” so this LS craze is not surprising. Making OEM parts better, faster and stronger is what hot rodder do. Love your content because you do so many diverse builds. Keep it up!
Affordable engines are what make hot rodding possible for a lot of people. They used to say the same about the small block chevys, too.
Stay Tuned is getting better every week. Great chemistry and cool projects. Keep killing it fellas.
Loving the beers while working myself. The honesty is appreciated and to be honest I'm a little jealous sitting here at work on my lunch.
Favorite day of the week Tony! Sitting in my hotel room overlooking the water in San Diego about to watch your latest video!
There is a reason everybody swaps LS engines. They are powerful, reliable and fit in just about anything.
Im no LS advocate but im not a hater either. Its the best bang for the buck, going as fast as possible for the least amount possible, thats been the core of hot rodding since day one.
True PRO..beer in one hand and grinder in the other
Loving the LS Swap Tony 🙂 Don't listen to the haters. It's a wonderful & fun engine to install in what ever ride you want to enjoy.
I just slowed down long enough to finally watch the episode and its awesome as usual this channel is gonna blow the hell up soon for sure and tony you're a freaking Rockstar brother keep it up!!
Love Barb's reaction to the 1st drive. He IMMEDIATELY takes it to the 2 step!! Great that 3 generations were there too.
Who WOULDN'T? 🤷🏻
Gotta test the 2-step also, to be thorough... 😜
What an effective combo came together quick even with the trans fitting, vibe was awesome as always guys, nice job Barb^3
Great episode, and great to see all the Barb boys featured.. that's what it's all about. I was a little late watching this one(Saturday evening in Australia) but it worked out well because I could have a couple of beers while watching instead of my usual Saturday morning coffee 😂
The best engine - trans setup I have ever seen is a gen 2 3.8l supercharged attached to a 5sp form a 2wd 95 chev 2wd truck. Insane power and great mpg.
This sounds like fun. Has anyone on youtube done this?
Pro Tip, Use rivet nuts instead of pop rivets on your transmission cover, so you can remove it with ease & reinstall it quickly with confidence. When maintenance has to be performed.
I love watching y'all guys. My second day watching your channel. I feel at home. Like I've known y'all all my life bro. Love it .. stay tuned!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Young lad was loving the engine revving up lol
This is the guy who LS swapped the rear suspension on an Impala for another LS. TheTwinpala! FUN!!!
Best Comment.. "Somebody's (Barb) got to watch those tail lights going down the track." 😂😂😂😂
Great job guys. You nailed it. First, gen Nova with an LS swap is about the ultimate in my mind. Smaller vehicle, lighter weight and a timeless body style. Great job again! Keep up the good work and can't wait to see what comes next
"I say up!" Love it haha, much thanks to my brother DS for the pizza shoutout, I was watching this at like 1am half asleep and jumped off the fucking couch, so stoked!
I absolutely adore your whip Barb!!! 👏 👏
we're.....we're gunna lose..ssssomething! i dont know! 😂 Thanks for the inspiration. i have wanted to build something since I was about 8; this video is massive inspiration and encouragement to go get after it.
That's a killer build. That's why the LS rocks.
