Cheap Chevy Small-Block Build and S-10 V-8 Swap! (S06E07)

In this episode of HOT ROD Garage, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa tackle their High School Special S-10, a truck they've previously enhanced for improved performance and aesthetics. This time, they're swapping out the original four-cylinder engine for a powerful 375hp Vortec V-8. The Vortec is an ideal choice for a budget build with great potential. Watch as they upgrade a $600 junkyard engine, nearly doubling its power while retaining the stock heads! After the installation, Angelo takes the revamped S-10 to the eighth-mile drag strip, competing against modern muscle cars and holding his own impressively!
