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.

Sorry to hear the LS let go
I have done the same in the past

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
