Killing it Tony. Stoked that this KZfaq thing is working out for you. It doesn’t work for just anyone. Keep it going 💪

This dude never misses, better content that cable tv 👍🏽

I was a sophomore in high school when the Syclone was rolled out. A friend and I were deep in fantasy land about it back then. It's about as unattainable now as it was then, and suddenly the Stay Tuned crew builds, well... We've both been 16 again and geeking out about this truck since.

I don't know why but I get more excited to see 3 friends putting an engine together on a garage that watching dragweek engine builders (don't get me wrong I still enjoy the engine build videos from Pete Harrell and Steve Morris) but seeing this kind of videos takes me back 20 years to wrenching with my friends

The 4.3 has been one of my all time favorite motors for over 20 years. Just an awesome compact ripper with gobs of torque. I love the crap out of this build.

Love that old school lapping. Reminds me of when my dad would do a shade tree rebuild.

New Stay Tuned makes Friday’s even better! Keep it up dudes, my favorite weekly KZfaq show! 🤘🏻

This is so much better than an "actual" syclone.

With Tony and Vice Grip Garage both dropping vids every Friday I basically don’t leave the couch all Friday night as I soak up the awesome content!! Lol

Every since I saw you bench press that trans into Mike's 55,I've been a Tony Angelo fan.your killing it tony

I'm so glad you're not putting an ls in it. Always nice to see other options on the cheap and have some fun. This is great for someone who doesn't really have the money. 👍

I absolutely love this build! You've got me looking at s10's.

Tony, I was kinda bummed at first when you didn't buy that original Syclone. But being 100% honest, this project is now the main one that gives me tickles in my stomach! Way better than the actual 'Motortrend projects, and easily a top 5, if not a top 3 youtube build! Keep it up!!!

I’m a simple person. I see the stay tuned notification and I watch it while the daughter naps. Absolutely loving Tony being Tony. No one to tell him what he can or cannot do

Always a good day when stay tuned posts!!

Out of all the builds this one feels like you're a kid in a candy shop with birthday money. The enthusiasm and fun is contagious.

i love the 4.3. id put it in everything if i could. really love newer ones with coil on plug.

The mad skills and gearhead family you assembled here is everything. Also help alot that you all seem to function well together like friends just helping each other out. Stayin Tuned

Of all the places to throw $175, i agree with your choice of the ring set. The rings and your head gasket are the front line for going up against your flame front. And gotta love the ring filer hack! If you were going to spend money anywhere when you're boosting, the rings are a good place to start. And when compared to head studs and other upgrades, it's on the cheaper side

Sike Clone! Let's go! I love this build and it is getting better!!!

I never watched your channel much until I saw this build. Subscribed and notifications on now. This is the kind of stuff average guys can do. 0-60 in the 4s for $6500! 🤯

Tony is like you or me or the dude up the road. Hes good people. And genuine.

Start the Friday evening off right! Going to be a beast when finished! I will stay tuned for sure!

Please keep up with the blue collar, regular guy, built in the driveway content. This is why I’m here. Keep up the good work 👍👍

This is the only channel I watch that actually every subscriber actually watches the videos

This is a treat. My brother and his smart friends did things like this, well and carefully.

Was a recall on the 4.3 for oil consumption they didnt have seals on exhaust seals. Often they would drain crankcase before 3000 mile oil change. We put positive seals on all cylinder valves except #5 under the booster as couldnt get spring compressed under booster

i like how you stuck with the 91-93 4.3, now i can keep taking notes. haha

Love this series. I have a 2011 single cab short bed with the 4.3. This has given me the motivation to put a turbo on it. Nothing crazy, just for the street. Since only 2 wheel drive not going for crazy HP, just better than it is now. Thanks for the motivation.

I love this show Tony's awesome and the team is great. It kinda feels like if Tony's asks the team to do something the mission will be complete asap. Great build also.

The biggest (hardest to find most expensive) upgrade you can get for that 4.3L is a rare billet stroker crank, performance heads, and hot cam. After that it's so similar to the traditional chevy small block that parts are easy to get. It's still mind blowing how much power a 4.3L. Actual power, not just cool numbers but a wall of torque surge that pins your lips to your ears.... *Also if I'm being honest, the sound of a turbo boosted 4.3L is just... unique and special. It's like if a VQ had it's balls drop, grew a beard and wore a flannel...

I'm loving this series! I'd love to see what it can do on EFI at some point. Megasquirt efi is a great bang for your buck and is fun to mess with. Can't wait for the next episode.

My 98’ 4.3 has the Comp cams 266HR cam with .500 lift and 112° LC. I also have the Comp Cams Pro Magnum Roller Rockers. Very mild cam that idles like stock. The valve covers fit with the short Crower “Sure Locks”(Poly Locks). I ground off the teeth on the balance shaft drive gear but left it in the block. Thanks for building a real world engine! p.s. you guys left a lot of horse pers on the table! Can’t wait to see the next video!

Listen, I know Tavarish is rebuilding the p1 and is “trending”. But this is the best automotive content on KZfaq today.

As a guy who dreamed of owning a Syclone when I was a teenager this has been my absolute favorite project I've seen on KZfaq and TV for that matter! Keep on keeping on brother can't wait to see what's next!

He said drag and drive!! I can’t wait!!! Maybe it will be ready for sick summer?

Adding the cricket sounds at the end was a nice touch.. LoL. Been dreaming about this build since 1992. Thank you for making it come true!

I built a turbo 2WD 4.3L S10 in 08. It made just under 800hp. I miss that old truck.

Heck yeah Tony!! I look forward to Fridays for many of reasons! Kicking back and watching another one of your builds is the icing on the cake!

You were talking about the lifter trays being almost like an LS engine which is spot on. A lot of people don't realize they actually share the same identical lifers as a gen 3 engine before the ls7 lifters.

Hey Tony....just a quick tip for you.....Get yourself a couple of those cheap plastic kid pools for drain pans. I got a medium one and it is the cats meow when pulling engines to keep the mess down. No more jut missing the bucket!

Bro, I was sad when you left HRG.... but man let me tell you, this has exceeded my expectations and then some. My Fridays have never been the same.

Our master tech used strait brake cleaner while honing the cylinder bores. One hand had the can of brake cleaner just blasting, and the other hand the drill. It worked!

C'mon Dart!? Make us 4.3 LS style heads!! puhhlease!? The low weight, low Center of Gravity, the short block length for very low polar moment of inertia, makes this engine a beast for handling and cornering applications !

happy to see you in action Tony,

Tried something like this with a 1991 S10 and a 4.3l vortec from a 2005 silverado 1500. Recently got my hands on a GM LV3 from a 2017 chevy express van. While it's not leagues better in stock form, I do enjoy the very fat torque curve of the LV3, it's compact size, its shared valvetrain and head geometry with the LT1, etc. Also, the fact that it's an aluminum block is a plus. For those wondering, it's mated to a 4L80E sourced from a wrecked 2004 silverado 2500. It the first thing that I found, so that's what I've got.

I love this stuff. Entertaining, informational, shows what you can do on a budget. The only place you can't skimp on this kind of project is knowledge and information, which they either have or know how to get

Tony took off his glasses and it got all blurry 31:26 😆. this is my favorite automotive youtube channel hands down. no fancy edits, montages, music, nonsense: just guys being doods. what's better than dis??

Tony, you and the guys are literally awesome. Loss for words over all the cheap low buck ways of just making something awesome with just a little work and common sense. What you all are doing, is the most American bald eagle screaming thing I’ve seen on this KZfaq platform in a long time. Thank you for showing every step of the way no secrets just raw footage of making something cool. You guys rock🤙🏻.

I have a 1989 s10 with a Buick GN engine in it. Inherited from my uncle who passed. Such a fun vehicle. Wish it was all wheel drive.

remember that time Hagerty whiffed on keeping you lol I love this channel

Great work Tony and team! Love seeing attainable projects for people. I’m 45 and started doing this stuff when I was 16; it’s crazy to see how the prices have increased. Keep up the good work, but glad that you’re waiting on those valve springs. I can’t imagine pulling heads off shortly after install just to upgrade springs.

This needs to go to Spectator Drags at the Freedom Factory! Fav build on the innerwebs

I love seeing this 4.3 build up. I have a 1994 S10 SS that I bought new. It has 270,000 miles on it and it still runs very strong. I'm also in Pa as well. Enjoy the Sike-clone!!!

Tony playing a game of operation just with Cam shaft 😮

Keep on truckin’ You’re definitely on the right track.

Tony, Barb, and Zack are such a great team. All tearing into this motor refresh.

im getting ready to do this to a VR6 soon. also for boost! Vortex makes a sweet little supercharger setup that bolts on and looks almost OEM, so i wanna slightly over build the engine so it's super reliable as a daily under boost.

had a 92 s10 4.3 5-speed.. that 4.3 would really get down in that s10! I'd love to have that combo again!

So stoked you decided to keep the 4.3 in this truck! keep up the great work!

One of the best on KZfaq. Interesting and fun to watch. Brings me back 35yrs ago messing around with my friends and our junk in our driveways👍

Unbelievable the crank is made like that. 😮

Good tech on engine refreshening.

Great episode, a golden age for car shows

I'm here! 5 o clock. Waited all week for this! Stay tuned is the absolute best youtube content currently!

I thought that i knew everything about down and dirty hot rodding. But this build right here has inspired such a whole new energy in me, I didnt know i needed. Legitimately best channel out there in my opinion

I have to say…I’m intrigued. 🤔 Go on… Love the blues in between too 🎶🎶🎶

That funky crankshaft broke at that joint in the Rotsun.

This reminds me a lot of Cletus building up his first few 4.3 junkyard motors for Ruby. If you guys just keep going, instead of losing the shop you might just be on your way.

My brother has a 97 s10,5 speed, parked right now for quite awhile, stock 4.3 vortec motor except for headers and a tune, 3.73 gears... ran 14.7 on a sea level track laying rubber through 2nd gear on all season tires

Great content and keep up the hard work. Tony stating "I couldn't kill it" really says something.

This build is dope and I love your style, Tony! Keep it up, dude! Now I want to do all of this to an Astro van.

AWESOME!!! Can't wait to see the next episode! Yeah, that cam is expensive but it's going to pull like crazy up top vs the stock one. BTW, turbos love nitrous. Even a small 50-75 shot will net 75-100HP.

There's something to be said about budget builds. I find the end result to be way more satisfying

You would be happier with vortec 4.3 heads that’s what came on the original syclones. They shelved the heads until 97! The Vortec heads make a lot more power.

Your doin awesome Tony!!! Glad I still get to see your shenanigans !!

Great channel Tony. Maybe a tech you already know, but if you don’t here it is. Instead of the ol suction cup for lapping valves, use a drill on the keeper side of valve. Much faster, but works great for me cuz my hands are messed up. Best of luck with channel.

Fellas when using a piston to line up your rings you can leave the old rings in it to keep it square with the deck when you set the ring in the cylinder to check the gap.

That's a cute cam :) My little v6 has a Comp Cams 280/280 duration .577/.577 lift 112 LSA, It's amazing that Comp makes a cam for a 60 degree v6, nevermind the 4.3L v6.

Tony seem like a cool guy to work for

Good to see someone doing it on a proper budget , stock pistons rods etc . Just like grandma used to make !

I love it.... digging in deep and making a even better sykclone....THIS IS CONTENT BROTHER. I have had the opportunity to be in the passenger seat of the typhoon and cyclone. I love it!!

I wish I had the garage and tools for fun stuff like this. I'd love to get one of Chevy's 2.7 turbo four cylinders into my Astro.

This is so badass man you inspired me to start looking for old s-10’s on market place to build my own lol

When you break that crankshaft clean in half. I would absolutely love to see you guys swap in the more modern 4.3 V-6. Great video as always.

The vortec 4.3l's were the top dogs those versions were fast on their own and you can get vortec heads and an intake to go to carbs. Dont remember of it holley or Edelbrock that makes that intake for the conversion.

HellYeah. Sike Clone Episode. 🤘🤘🤘 Can’t wait to see this boy turned up. Beer and a Slice Time. Ready to Stay Tuned 🍺🍕🔥🔥

The sound is on point! 👍

I love the fact that you kept the 4.3 I had a 94 astro van cargo short weel base.. and for a "mini" van it was actually kinda fun to trive some times..

People everywhere are rushing around selling their syclones to build these lol. Appreciate how everything isn’t perfect you build stuff like a average guy would in his garage. I love this truck!

"we're gonna torque those down to that's totally tight" HAHA, that was great. You guys need to rate/track each pizza place so when us jabronies drive through the philly area we'll know who makes killer pies.

Smacking out the valve springs i fold a rag to in the chamber and the real secret is i use a 5/8 plug socket take the rubber out and put the head of a magnet in there, works like magic, i like dipping the hone in aft, btw i like that swag bandsaw stand 🤘

I love this so very much!!! If the body ever gets messed up throw a blazer body on it and make a typhoon!!!

Can't wait to see the new bullet scream. 👍

I'm loving the down-and-dirty everyman builds.

Lovin' it, guys! The Syke Clone is gonna be a hoot! Thanks for the in-depth rebuild content, and Barb, hand-lapping the valves?! What?!! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

I had a 93 s10 shorty with a 383 and nv3500 5 speed and it was so fun. I can’t imagine having it all wheel drive.

I, too, install head studs because they look cool. I put some in a carbureted Ford 300 not long ago 🤣

Glad to find such a cool channel. Can't wait to see the Psych Clone rip!

This is definitely one of your best projects.
