Building A Blown Pontiac Firebird Killer From A 185HP Smog Engine Assembly —Tony Angelo's Stay Tuned

On this first episode of Stay Tuned, Tony Angelo introduces us to his Street Freak Pontiac Firebird, and dives deep into engine assembly. This mid-70's muscle car, hasn’t had an engine in its bay since the early 90’s — and the team was determined to change that. We start with a limp, 1975 185HP Smog Engine, and watch as Tony and the team transform it into a 462 cubic inch, stroker monster. At the end of the episode, with the help of a bunch of Butler Performance parts, this thing is ready to eat boost and kill tires! Will this Firebird finally earn its wild looking stripes, and become a Pontiac performance killer on the drag strip? Stay Tuned, as ultimate car guy Tony Angelo and his buddies, build down and dirty hot rods with one goal in mind—maximum fun. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Grab the New Stay Tuned Shirts and Gear at: https://tangeloracing.myshopify.com/ We appreciate YA!
