Hot Rod Garage (2014)

Season 9: Episode 7

This time on HOT ROD Garage, we dig back into the Grand Trashional, the cheapest running turbo Buick EVER. We scooped a 1985 T-Type for 3800 bucks, fixed a ton of rust, cleaned up the interior, and took it to the track, where Tony Angelo promptly blew the non-intercooled 3.8-liter engine up. Watch Tony and guest host Jimmy Caldwell attempt to get this thing making serious power. The guys swap in a much-preferred 1987 intercooled engine and then bolt up a ton of modern performance parts: a dual ball-bearing Garrett turbo, Holley EFI, flowmaster manifolds
