Jesus lol throw back 20 years ago when I was 13 and couldn't wait to watch these shows! Thanks
PowerNation need to do a ranger splash coyote swap
Ok nice build, so where did you get all your parts?
We continue to provide complete bolt on or shit your never afford . But keep watching
Grew up watching Stacy David. These shows got me into working on cars today
Its about time Chevy released the 99 Tahoe!
I wonder if you can get an operator's manual on VHS?
I live in michigan and im trying to find a nice low mileage clean one. I cant find almost any for a reasonable price i sure wish they made them again, better than new ones in my opinion.
@@chadbullock6326 come down Oklahoma they're everywhere every car lots got one for sale LOL
Lol, I thought it was going to be modern LT1.
No it’s the old opti spark 26 year old lt1.
@@dragoonTT I'm sure you can get it on cassette...
The good old days, Stacy David is the man and the original POWERBLOCK lineup was great.
Mr Poop “Hellz Yeah It Definitely Was”
I'm tired of stacys shows being 25 minutes of commercials & sponsor adds and 5 minutes of actual show.
And the laugh talking........
time to bathe in the nostalgia!
Staycys method of working on a truck, start with sponsors to donate parts, throw massive amounts of money at the rest.
All tools & boxes & welders are brand new. No tools in the shop over 2 years old.
No wonder he laughs when he talks.......
What ever happened to Mel Fair?
I heard they're killing the Camaro in 2002??? Can anyone confirm?
imacho12 yeah I heard that too! I hope they bring them Holden Manaro’s over to replace it, but that’s just wishful thinking!😂😂😂😂
It's done gone forever 😭 😂
yeah....super bummed about that.....maybe the'll bring back the GTO to make up for it....i wish.
I wanna put this LT1 kit in my 96 gmc Sonoma
It's true camaro is gone.
I'm digging these archived episodes from the best years of the tech shows on TNN and Spike TV.
Trucks! was always my favorite by far but project SuperNova on HorsePower was awesome while simultaneously happening along side to the Copperhead build Stacy did.
I'd love to see that series and the Crazy Horse bronco build
I was about 10 years old when i started watching these classics on spike tv with my dad and thats when I fell in love with vehicles!
I definitely miss the old powerblock line up
I remember watching these episodes as a kid, brings back memories. I had no idea what alot of it was at the time though lmao but thanks for posting the old ones.
I was so excited, I was thinking FINALLY!!! They came to their senses and got Stacey David back on the show!! And then I realized that this episode is like 10-15 years old lol
hes got his own show now. I was never much into trucks but always watched because of him.
More like 20-21 years.
They pulled the motor in less than 5mins.... that’s crazy quick.
the drugs were really good back then....
@@jefrhi I've done it in the rain and in the dark when I broke a lower ballpoint
I remember watching this episode about....umm...20 years ago? Lol. Nice nostalgia for me anyway 😁
XD brand new sad 20 years has passed already boy how time has passed I remember watching this when I was five and six with my dad as a boy sparking my interest in trucks and cars and boy dad couldn’t be more proud of me now ,miss those sundays with my dad I spike tv
Those LT1s are unbeatable, LS swaps will never catch on.
I thought LS’s were a lot better than the LT’s
@@Lu-e hell no man,i did a LT1 swap back when this show had aired,i did mine in 98,and i had a 5 speed and omg it was super fast,i blew away mustangs,camaro's,ss impalas pretty much everything,so now ive got a 05 2 door blazer i put a 6.0 with cam in it last summer got it tuned made 384 to the tires and i dont know where that power is going but that 300 hp LT1 would smoke this blazer man,it was fast as hell,mine was out of a 96 vette supposedly.but yea im really upset with my blazer 400 hp under the hood and wheres it all going,same 5 speed set up.hmmm oh well....
@@onewheelup How did the S10 5speed hold up to V8 power. A friend has a early 90's Blazer with a ZZ3 crate 350. His truck has a 4L60 from a V8 vehicle. Now the weak link is the rear axle. He's had this Blazer for about 10yrs now. The axle has been replaced at least 4 times. His wife says no more burnouts or hard launches because she's tired of spending $$ on it. Pretty sure that the transmission has been replaced a couple times too. I was just curious as to how your 5 speed held up to V8 power because I have an extra one for mine. My truck is on its 3rd transmission and it only has 200k on it. I left mine stock,I think it too clean to start chopping on.& I drive it every day .Shifter is kinda knotchy in those trucks. You had a NVG3500 transmission,right? Some 4.3L trucks came with the NVG 1500 also.
imagine rippin apart that gorgeous brand new s10 now a days..
I had a 51 Chevy Pickup. My Dad and I made our own bed boards out of 4x6 white oak. Came out beautiful.
I thought the engine lift was to find the things you didn’t disconnect.
This reminds me of watching this with my grandpa every weekend man we loved these shows
Wow, everything is so clean and new looking on that truck, even before pulling the other motor out.
I loved it when trucks worked on small trucks like this the S10 is still very popular.
Me & my cousin use to sneak back to the tv room @ church on Sunday’s & watch these episodes! This is what made want an xtreme & worked my butt off the entire summer & my dad got me one! Exactly like this except black with a 4.3
Them Tahoes must be nice, my dealership is clean sold out of all '99 z71 Tahoes!
man these old episodes bring back good memories, thanks for posting them! love to see some old 90s episodes of horsepower tv too!
I remember watching this episode...when it was new on TNN back in the day....good memories from back then!
Man, I really can't wait for that 1999 Z71 Tahoe...it's gonna be a beast! That brand new Vortec 5.7L 250 HP engine is state of the art too! Jealous!
These guys always killed me. Today we're going to do a nearly impossible job that normally takes 12 hours in 45 minutes and have no problems what so ever. Loved this show!
You understand this is a television show, right?
And their hands never got dirty 😂
So nostalgic, feels like a lifetime ago. We sure have come a long ways in 20 years. An LT1 is nothing but a boat anchor nowadays and even that's giving it a lot of credit.
MP Engineering actually “nowadays” it holds the gm stick shift record by over half a second.
Wish we could go back...damn this is fun to rewatch
Ahh the old power block. Spent many a weekend watching these show. Remember the show Truckin USA?
Stacey been wearing the same ball-hugger jeans for decades now.
God I love the old Hotrodding TV shows from the late ‘90s through early ‘00s. Was a great era!
omg an lt1 i hear they are working on something new. ls1 or some thing.. lol
Yeah it’s supposed to have a massive amount of horsepower! 305 HP out of just a 5.7 SMALL BLOCK! Unreal what technology these days can do.
Hear what Nissan is doing to try and show these muricans up? 300 panda power out of a 3.5 liter v6 in their new Z cars, the 350z.
LS's were around back then, they weren't cheap, tho.
Jaybee they came on board around 98 I think with the Trans Am and z28
@@JonBecker81 the LS1 was in the Corvette for 97 and Camaro/Firebird for 98
I had forgotten where I first saw Mr David. Thanks for the memory and good too see so much talent coming from my home state
Not gonna lie. I was confused for the first 60 seconds because I thought when they said LT1 I was thinking the LT1 from the C7 corvette.
Thought the same thing. A new LT1 in an S10. Now that's interesting.
Try LT4 in the C7...
@@videogamegusto7852 yea get it right nerds
@jeralds music theory they crushed it !?!?!?
@@_chevy_s-zj5pw yeah. Chevy provided the truck and crushed it because lawyers.
That hair 😂😂😂👌 miss these shows on TV.
Old school. And Stacy laughed a lot less while talking! Watch something new and you'll hear: " Hhahah How's everyone? Good. Today, i HAHAhave to change the oil in a Huhuhuhhummer"
I thought I was the only one annoyed by his forced fake laughing every few words.
I love watching these conversions!
It's nice to watch some old show trucks is my favorite show or was I will be watching them for sure now
I was thinking ,man that extreme looks brand new ...... and your eyes aren't bad it's a very old episode from a tv show
Sadly, many of the projects that were new from the factory were crushed after. This one was no exception along with big orange which was the z71 with tracks on it
@@marshallmcdowell3369 Stacy actually talked about that I'm interviews before.... he hated building something cool when that would be what would come of it
@@joshlawrence4512 yea there was a recap episode where he showed all the projects he worked on all the way up to copperhead and said that's why he stopped the builds on new vehicles
@@marshallmcdowell3369 Do you have a link to any info about them crushing the cars? I never knew this, was it only projects based on new vehicles?
@@yeahitskimmel look up the recap episode. Circa 2005-2007. He was on gearz and had recapped projects. Like, big orange, wicked willy's, the blazer, copperhead and others and he specifically mentioned this and big orange
Come on guys! Lets start a revolution! Tuck your shirts in when working on your projects!!!!! LOL
Love these classic episodes!!
Oh god, that orange Fram filter.
My exact thoughts
Fram #1👍
@@bilbobaggins4710 enjoy that hot glue gun paper endcap blowing off!
Same dude !! Terrible. Wix is all I use
Ohhhh man, what an oldie!! But man is it a Goldie :P I remember watching this on TNN not spike, when I was 12. Thanks for the memories. Can't wait for the next one!!!!
Me n my pops miss watching Stacy on television! :(
I dynoed my 98SS S10 4.3 at W2W's open house. That's was a nice shop.
Am I the only person admiring such a clean set of Xtreme wheels? Cherry!
Maaaan that mullet thoo. Im jealous thats for sure.
I feel like these guys aren’t even trying they’re just thoroughly enjoying the process of removing an engine and putting a new one in there pretty funny to
Even at 480p, my T levels just went up watching this
Need them to fight the Corolla virus
About 6 year ago I put a 5.7 vortec into a 2000 Blazer Zr2. Used the s10 stock ecm, just added a couple wires for the 2 extra injectors and the ecm found them on the crank relearn. Headers, modified for the egr, Corvette radiator. Used the stock 4L60E. Had to run the steering through the headers too. We had to pass state emission which made it a pain. This truck looks a lot better shape then the Blazer I did.
great to see Stacey back on Trucks!
Oh the memories! I feel so old right now.
I used to watch these shows religiously. It was this, horsepower tv, car and driver tv, and one other show. Can't remember which.
Motorweek?
That is so nice of Chevy to make a new 1999 Tahoe in the year 2022. lol....
power nation tv must be feeling retro .But it's good to see some old shows. watched it every Saturday on spike tv.
It's 2024 and I have the 4.3L version sitting out my front door... Nice.
Cool build and episode, I like these old episodes, very informative and interesting. I wish you would show the one where he worked on the b body Chevy impala ss
That tahoe z71 can be had anywhere for about a grand, here in the future lol
That green color is 👌👌👌
Ahh The good old days.
You still rock Stacy 😁
I loved watching this show back in the day back on TNN.
Me too when Spike tv was showing it on Saturday mornings.
That old 48 Ford F1 looks beautiful.
Damn...I remember when this was new on TV on TNN back in the day!
Love to see these episodes from when I was a teen, some of my favorite shows. Swapping in one of those stupid gen 2 LT1s makes me cringe though. The Opti-spark was such a mistake and I hated dealing with it.
I'm getting a little confused..... Isn't there a gen 5 lt1?
@@GreatLakesLogger Yes, but after the original small block but before the LS was the LT series. Powered many early to mid 90s cars. Current LT engines are seemingly unrelated.
@@BentonHart Thanks for the info.... Was there more to the series than the lt1?
Benton Hart the lt1 was also the name of a small block option in early 70s corvettes. So they have used the LT1 name 3 times now.
I remember watching these shows on TV. I won't spoil it for those that haven't seen it, but in the episode where they fire it up, I knew the answer to a problem they had before they realized what it was (unless it was "unknown" to add drama)...
i miss this old TV show
watching Trucks! keeps me entertained
Pornhub is better imo
Remember the Chevy Tahoe Limited? Heavy duty everything bilistien shocks, and had great handling for back in the day.
The old school powernation miss those days
I member watching these guys as a kid
Those z71 tahoe and limited are a rare item around here. Never seen those wheels either.
EXTREME Reg cab, short bed, step side😍 I have a 2016 Canyon but I miss the S10's 😭
What sad is that even if someone decides to slam the new Canyons/Colorado's and go "mini truck" era. The proportions are just wacky for modern day standards.
@@theslow-9kay406 agree 100%
Love mine
Would like to see the build sheet on that LT1.
Loved it
God, Stacey is young.
We all were, 20 years ago. : P
It’s easier to pull the inner fenders attached to the fenders. The abs pump brackets are bolted from underneath to the inner fenders too. Idk what he was pretending to unbolt? lol.
I’d rather have that 2.2 then that LT1! I have an S10 with original 460,000 miles on it. I’ve owned the truck since 18,000 original miles!! I’ve replaced everything around it! but as long as you change the coolant and oil regularly and never run hot or low on oil I’m starting to think they’re immortal
funniest thing is that 2.2 is worth MORE then that LT1 too! lol.
I’ve never used Locktite on tc bolts and they have never come loose before.
I got a 93 Firebird with the same setup motor and trans if u rebuild the trans and add everything vette inside it will fly
120 hp isn’t very “extreme” I don’t know what chevy was thinking
Actually mike want to put 2 turbos or prostreet chargers on that engine, probably need a shot of notorious with it! Still will have a problem on the 1/4 mile strip to the 350 reg
Currently swapping in a 5k mile 1995 LT1 that's been sitting in my garage for 24 years into my K10 pickup, should be fun
Yes it's an old TV show episode. Before they had the reality TV car shows was a thing and that makes it better *sips boomer juice*
Stacey still looks the same! Nice hair! Send it!
Man I completely forgot about Mel being on the show.
Oh that LT1... This video is older than i thought lol
I'm going to use this as a guide to replace my 2002 gmc sierra 1500 4.3 V6 vortec with a 4.3 L99 LT1 V8
As for myself, I'd left the front springs in place. If the stock V6 has iron heads but the V8 swapped in has aluminum heads,there's really not enough weight difference to be worth the trouble.Jusy my opinion though.
That truck had the base 2.2L 4 cylinder
MARRIED WITH CHILDREN is over . So might aswell watch these two take a truck apart
1997 AL BUNDY .
4 touchdowns in 1 game .
The one constant in the universe; Stacey Davids hair
I remember when these first aired. Doesn’t feel like 20 years ago lol
OH THanks PAL
So automotive shows have been using that same background guitar riff song since at least 1999!
Would have been way better with a 5 speed
Not gonna lie taking off the inner fenders is over kill, sure it gives u more room but at the same time, it takes longer to re assemble every thing in the long run.
In this instance the Edelbrock shocks weren't an upgrade when dealing with a zq8 suspension.
I hadn't had cable in many years, and was confused by the 4:3 aspect ratio, how good that S10 looked, and why they were bothering with an old LT1. Then I saw the news on the "new" Tahoe, and fondant clued in! Also was thinking Stacey David hasn't aged at all.
good old optispark..
That stupid system was reason enough for me to get rid of my '95 Camaro.
I am trying to make a Harley Davison truck Out of this truck because I do not like Fords I love this little truck
@2:48 cowl support? Come on guys.
Mel sure didn't last long..... I forgot about him
I liked him better than Stacy.
Bout time they got a 2nd Gen S10 on the show!
Holy smokes 250hp Tahoe!
