The engine FAILED on my 1966 Shelby GT350 race car and we can't figure out why!

[@chuck_machine]

Hoovie - your Mustang is a simple fix. Those are the wrong rocker arms. They cannot support a high lift cam (internal slot is too short). A set of roller rocker arms, or at least some designed for high lift will solve your issue. Essentially, with a high lift cam, the rockers traveled all the way to the end of the slot, and at full lift, couldn't travel any further, thus the weakest link broke - and that weak link is the cast rocker arms.

[@lukewalker1051]

Listen to Charles. Race motors aren't the Wizard's expertise.

[@frosel3658]

That’s 100% right, it needs a nice set of roller rockers not stock style ones based on the rpm he seems to be running it too. I also would check the pushrods and make sure he didn’t bend any

[@ryurc3033]

What did it have in it originally? How were those motors known for their free revving nature? Didn't the O.G. Shelby gt350 have a fairly high redline? What if roller rockers aren't allowed in that class of vintage racing?

[@tonybosworth5382]

SVRA is the most stringent on engine specs and roller rockers are allowed. Agree with one of the other comments, the wrong rockers were used and/or not adjusted properly. I would venture to say the studs may be wrong. Curt Vogt, Cobra Automotive are the guys to talk to and pretty darn helpful.

Fun fact: The vertical stripes under Carroll Shelby's names meant something: 1 strike was pre-heart transplant, 2 strikes were after, and 3 were all ones he had signed digitally and were printed. I happen to have a glove box door signed by Carroll Shelby in his later years where he was struggling with not only his health but the pen was having issues so it's a legitimate signature but missing the appropriate vertical stripe and somewhat patchy in places due to the pen being troublesome. I got that signature because my grandfather (who also worked on Old Yeller II) knew Carroll Shelby personally and was invited to his 80th birthday (where the glovebox door was signed).

I stumbled across that place several years ago on a business trip. It was free then and there was an older guy who was a racing buddy of Carroll's who showed us the cars and gave all of the histories. It looked like more of the cars are new now. When I was there, there were more original vintage cars. There was an original small-block Cobra (little blue thing I still dream about) and if I remember correctly, it was Carroll's. It had beautiful patina original seats and the story was that Carroll said he would kill anyone who upgraded them. The factory portion is closed on weekends (or was then) but the display portion is always open. A fun thing to do in Vegas. And don't miss road kill BBQ.

And you have proven that not all important have to be worth tens of millions, of course, you are making money but I get the impression that you love the hunt just as much if not more than the return you may get for the sale. Anyway thank you for sharing this part of your life with us and I always come away knowing more than I did about an hour ago. Being over in Scotland I don't get to see the vast majority of what you find so I find the shows extremely interesting. Though I do have a vw bus garage where I live, he does well and I believe does some custom work on them. I would love to see a ground-up restoration or resto-mod on the channel. That bus you drove to lunch was well set up, I've never been in one without slop in the steering and normally they need a week's notice to get to 50mph and that one you drove did just fine. Also, it's been years since I've seen trafficators on anything the last thing I was in with them was an old Wolseley.

Doesn't look like valve lash issues but I never rule stuff out when it's not me with my hands on it.

There's a reason even the amateur guys have a sort of pit crew for the cars maintenance and on race days. It's not totally different from the modified diesel truck I think it was that Wizard had someone else handle, it's kind of a specialized thing even though it's in a similar orbit. I had a pro street Trans Am back when I was younger and it was really eye opening to how even though it's all kind of the same moving parts, keeping it race ready and maintained is a bigger beast than it might look.

The street I grew up on was Shelby Dr. My Dad worked at the Woodlawn Stamping Plant, I grew up a Ford kid in the 60-70’s. I live in Las Vegas now and get to go to the Shelby store anytime, it would have been cool to see you.

you should collaborate with Dennis Collins to help sort out your mustang. he has some experience with them (understatement). amazing car mind he has.

Those copper and billet aluminum cars were a million plus each. They had to buy, I think 3 tons of that copper sheet because it had a specific alloy to make it easier to work without cracking while forming or burning through while welding. Hot Rod magazine did an in depth article on n them. The billet car is freaking sexy underneath

Im 63 and grew up working on muscle cars and it seemed many time it was almost always Fords that came up with oiling and valve train problems - friend of mine I remember had a GREAT running 71 Ranchero with a high output 351 Cleveland and the valvetrain always had issues, after total replacement of cam, lifters roller chain (twice) complete machine shop valve job with all oiling galleys checked new HV oil pump and all new parts the thing would run like a scalded dog - for awhile. Then eventually the valves would get noisy and it was all downhill from there. OIl pressure was always good and compression tests showed all good cylinders with no oil in water or water in oil - eventually he didnt want to go any further and was fed up with the car and sold it, shame - that Cleveland really had a lot of grunt especially behind an automatic. His 69 Roadrunner on the other hand with its 383 Magnum had no such issues and with good maintenance we never even had to pull the heads, only new valve cover gaskets and a new roller chain once just because we thought it better safe than sorry. As said below, this could be a different scenario since it may have wrong rocker arms etc. and since im more a chevy guy than ford the guys below sound like theyve spotted the problem with it having the wrong rocker arms, ie: short slot rockers instead of long slot, as they say if its oiling ok a set of roller rockers may be in order - but I thought he said it was oiling on the left and not on the right so............

We (TangoClassicAuto) had vin#302 GT350 back in the day. Well, we had quote a few prime examples! But that was one of my favorites. Great job, Jeff Taylor was an amazing owner, and great all around guy. Shelby will always have a major part in my life ; ESPECIALLY since I named my daughter SHELBY! Great video as usual Tyler! Thank for the memories, and cheers to more coming!

Lovely video. Really enjoyed the Shelby part. Thank you.

Really nice to see the Shelby factory but i do hope your car isn't too bad or you'll be pairing up with Samcrac.

Like others here have mentioned here, I was a little surprised to see to see stamped rockers on what is obviously a modified engine. I wonder if a lifter popped out and that's why the driver's side is not getting any oil.

Hoovie, you look worn down. Please remember to eat, and to not drink booze. Love you man, sorry about the tumult.
