That sucks Bryan, but better on the dyno than out in the middle of no where. Make some improvements so you'll feel better about having it out. But don't go so far that you can't drive it this summer!

SO the good news is Don Hardy race engines --- an LS specialist is right there near you. That's who built the motor in the '33 --- and where Brizio gets most of his motors.

My guess on the rich condition is a pin hole or leak in the exhaust UPSTREAM from the O2 sensor - causing it to add fuel to overcome what it sees as a lean condition. Or perhaps that valve never sealed well --- and unburnt fuel is oxygen rich again fooling the sensor.

Hey! You've only gone thru ONE motor --- the Mustang has eaten 4 since I've owned it.... LOL

Bryan, sorry to hear. It'd be nice if money grew on trees but for most of us that would be a huge set back. Feel for you, hope things work out smooth as possible. Best of luck to you. Could find the you've got to be sshiiiiitin' me smileee.

Default Bad Dyno day

Brian
Sorry to hear the LS let go
I have done the same in the past
along with many other engine failures

Most NorCal Shelby boys who track their
cars a lot tend to change their springs regularly
Depends on how high you rev it. 7000 plus
all the time does take its toll

You could always go out on the edge and
put a real Pontiac Motor in her

I hope you get it running soon

Bob

Bryan - I went back and took a look at the top of your pistons and yeah ... that looks to have been running very rich.

The whole thing is really upsetting. And I'm sorry you're having these on going issues.
