These longer form, into the details episodes, are awesome. You arent skipping the technical parts, which to me, are the most interesting. Keep it up, love this project, love the team. That 40M views is gonna come up quick.
As a former Syclone owner,#548 to be exact is very satisfying what you guys accomplished. I don't know why other gear heads don't do this projects more often. Kudos to Stay Tuned guys!🤘🤘🤘
I love how passionate he is about his projects, I wouldn't mind seeing him do some charity work on another buddies projects. Your a great guy Mr Angelo, keep it up!!
Really digging this channel. Just regular guys doing what the love. Not overly produced. Just right. Keep up to good work and glad to see you out on your own.
For the record, I don’t mind the sponsor spots at all. I’m actually glad to see them because that lets me know the channel is moving towards profitability which leads to sustainability. Basically a really long way to say Sponsorship = more/better episodes for us!!!!! Keep rocking guys!!!
I just came across this channel while working my overnight shift and it's really become my favorite channel. It's informative and it shows people you don't need to buy everything new to have a fun project/toy. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate you going ahead with your video even when you’re taking an L. Makes the rest of us feel human when the thing happened to us. Thanks for showing the real deal of hot rodding. Not everything goes as planned.
You call it a loss but i call it a win.. this thing is gonna be nasty when you can really put the power in the ground.. and ill be here to witness all of it.. great job tony keep it up
I feel for ya Tony. I burned up the 4L60 in my Syclone 3 times before i said F it and went with a built turbo 350 with reverse pattern manual valve body, a trans brake, and a 3200 stall. It has taken all the abuse my little v6 can throw at it. Wish i could have afforded a 4L80.
@@timothyurbanik6298 yes, summit had the adapter for about $80 if i recall. I was able to use stock crossmember and i didn't need to modify my driveshafts at all.
When we swapped the motor in my mx5, I was convinced I'd ****ed the timing or got a valve collet wrong and it'd hopped out or something, it ran so rough. Absolute defeat mode, I convinced myself I'd wrecked the new engine just through some idiocy. Turned out an injector had randomly failed while the engine was out and it was running on 3 cylinders. If I'd had any faith in my ability I'd have found that in 5 minutes but I was so caught up being depressed I never checked anything that I hadn't messed with! Loved watching you guys just powering through it all
Yep. My Friday uplifting, escape from daily life video. The reminder of why we do the grind. To compliment this video, I'm taking the vega out hunting later. There's a nitrous LS 2010 truck running around town just begging for 'is that a vega?' Yep, the name of my car a question we are constantly asked. Health and wellness all around. Have a great weekend guys and gals.
Pulling timing on the shifts (to reduce torque) and the biggest trans cooler w/fan you can fit helps keep a 60e alive. I'm sure whoever is doing the trans knows what to do pump, valve body and clutch wise. I'm looking forward to seeing what this truck will do.
I still love this build. I can't wait when you guys get this sorted. Its going to be more of a rocket. You proved with a reasonable budget you can go out and have some fun. Glad your going to continue to improve it. Awsome way to get into racing. I love your porsche build as well. 🤟🤙🤘👊
Damn it boys. I am sorry your having troubles. One thing to remember when your chasing small improvements is only change one thing at a time. I love the content, love the editing. And love the crew you got. Thanks for sharing your talents and adventures!!!
Thanks for keeping it real for being a hot rodder in these times. An old guy thought me a trick when swapping valve without an air compressor. Use the soft white nylon rope. Get the piston almost to TDC and put as much rope as you can get in the chamber. Then turn the engine over till it stops. Now your valves will not drop.
Don’t worry Tony you’ll get there soon. I know it’s a bummer but it’s just the way it goes. Love your content!! Keep up the good work!! Frank from Toronto Canada
This show is as good or better than any network show. Tony and his crew have the production values way up and the content is killer. This dude is an automotive rock star! I finally put my money where my mouth is, and bought a sticker set. The orange stay tuned sticker is going on the Camaro SS2. I can't believe I missed the Firebird shirt. Make another raglan shirt!
Tony and the boys out there just living the life. Having fun, building cool stuff, and hanging out. Why cant we all have friends like these? And a place to wrench.
Thanks for keeping it real. The cranking and cranking for first start is agonizing, but a common occurrence in the real world. Hopefully the starter is going to survive.
What we really need from the shop, is a vectorized image of the sike clone akin to the thumbnail of this vid. Big blocks of red, with the spray painted name on there. *chefs kiss*
On the servo, that last 'plate' y'all put the sealing ring on is the 4th clutch piston in the 2-4 servo. I also observed when you installed it, the travel was way too much. So I believe the 2-4 band is trashed. When you air tested it, it looked like it had waaay to much movement too. When y'all get it overhauled, they make a wider 2-4 band, would probably be a good upgrade, as well as the z-pak for the 3-4 clutches.
I love trying to diagnose issues from this video. Like the spark plug. It’s so fun when you notice the same things they do before they get to the bottom of it and it’s like your working with them.
It's not an L guys. It was a data acquisition exercise. You just found the weak Link in the chain. Part of the process, you know this Tony. Just keep at it and you'll see high 3 60's I'm sure of it.
VOLE !! It's smaller then a mouse ! One thing that never changes, the name of 4L-Slippy. Unfortunately those transmissions can't handle the power and your best bet, go with a beefed up 4L80. Guys, thank for all this content, love watching this show and you guys going in detail I every episode 👍🙌
Yeah, lol, that's the kind of "exhaust leak" I'd expect on one of my projects. Don't change what you're doing, ever. You and your crew are exactly what the gearhead world needs. Build it, rod it, break it, rebuild it better....and probably break it again. Rock on!
The first ever small block i built as a teen, i didn't have money for the machining for screw in studs and guides, and the first time it hit 7 grand,all the studs started pulling out lol did the screw in studs myself,with one the guys from my dad's construction crew,and ran it daily 60k miles... Miss that 86 Silverado pretty much every day.
A little outdoors info,a chipmunk is at least three times larger than a mouse! I don’t know any animals smaller than a mouse so maybe go to an insect,how about a grasshopper? Haha! Love your show!
All the talk about chipmunks made me smile. My good friend Don who was a gearhead in Walnutport used to talk about chipmunks a lot. Thank you for that.
Hey guys. Nathan from Australia here. Absolutely been lovin' this project. I've been building torque converters ever since i was 15 (44 now👴) With regards to your Corvette servo, ya better off purchasing the whole servo kit from Sonax. They ain't expensive. Plus they also do a valve body kit you are desperately needing for longer tranny life. Cheers mate from Australia Thanks Nathan 😊
Oh and it seems you have a V8 size converter for some reason. I'm not real cluey on yanky V6's but every buick or Aussie turbo 700 V6 converters I've seen are 9 inches. Not 12 inch V8 size. Thats half ya problem right there.
What I did on my 1996 K1500, I put a power steering pump in from a 2000 express van with remote reservoir and it works excellent! When I took it out to the track, I’d get power steering splashing out an hit my headers and make it smell like my transmission was spilling. And yeah, your 4L60E is COOKED!!
Tell zach about the greasy t-shirt trick. 1.) Cut strips of t-shirt (around 1x4", but don't sweat the size too much) 2.) Coat the strips with a liberal amount of axle grease 3.) Pack the greasy shirt into the center on the pilot bearing until you can't fit any more. 4.) Find a rod that just fits inside the center of the pilot bearing. A socket on an extension can work, but the more solid the better. 5.) Use a hammer to drive the rod into the hole in the pilot bearing, compressing the greasy t-shirts. 6.) Pack more greasy t-shirts into the space created in step 5. 7.) Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the greasy t-shirts create a hydraulic that forces the pilot bearing out. Hat tip to AvE for this trick. He said he had to pay a machinist a bottle of scotch to show it to him.
Tony I completely agree about the Busch heads! The first Busch north team I crewed on in 95 we ran the 4.3 and they screamed at Dover and Loudoun NH at 9700rpm! Our cam we ran was 710in! If you can find one USE IT!
Assembly Lube is for Drugstore Cowboy-type mechanics. Just crack open a tube of Moly Extreme Pressure Chassis Grease (so brown it's black) grab a screwdriver to dig it out with - and go to town. Sometimes if I already got a grease gun full of it I squirt it where needed. Got about 50 years of doing what you're doing and never galled-ed up any parts. Lol - put a couple together an had the oil pump fail to make pressure - take it back apart to inspect - and "waste of time - the stuff is all fine".
When pumping up the cylinder to change valve springs, let the motor roll to where it wants to be, the cylinder with air in it will most likely be at BDC btw.
What's funny is that you actually had lower stall than a stock Syclone which was a 2200. The Astro's would have been a 1600. Swapping an S10 converter in was a fairly common upgrade. When you get to front brakes, go find some late 90s early 00s Blazer dual piston calipers. They were a common upgrade.

The car doesnt have to work for the video to work. We're just happy to be along for the ride. Keep crushing it ST crew
Thanks! Will do! I'll try to keep that in mind!
YES, 🍕
MY FRIDAY EVENING ALARM!👌🏽
What's funny is that you actually had lower stall than a stock Syclone which was a 2200. The Astro's would have been a 1600. Swapping an S10 converter in was a fairly common upgrade.
When you get to front brakes, go find some late 90s early 00s Blazer dual piston calipers. They were a common upgrade.
I love watching mario and luigi build the chevy beach mouse
I hope I'm Mario!
Just found this show instantly hooked.
Welcome to the party!
Awesomeness 🎉 people quit hating on Alex. Tony left to spend time with his beautiful little girl(s). Alex is amazing not just eye candy.
Something I NEVER thought I would hear "...I got everything good out of an all wheel drive Astro Van..."
