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.

The MOST needed hooptie for your fleet has to be a used tow truck

Something bad always seems to happen when he gets on a racetrack so I think the universe is trying to send him a message.

Hey man, none off my, or anyone else’s, business. I noticed the tan lines from the missing jewelry on your left hand. I genuinely hope you are doing ok. There are a lot of people out here that don’t know you personally, but genuinely care about your well-being. Every once in a while we all need to remember that we are loved, even if we don’t show it as often as we should. I apologize for even bringing it up, and hope I’m reading into a non-existent problem. I just lost an old friend, his note is heartbreaking. I wish I would of told him that I loved him so he’d know that he was loved by many people. Seems he only cared about the love from his soon to ex wife now widow. Keep your head up man.

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).

Don't give up on this car, please! This is by far one of my favourite of your collection!

Enjoyed behind the scenes at Shelby Amercia. Thank you for taking us along!

Typical oil issues for that block. You need to check it regularly which means the wizard will be very happy. Get rid of those rockers if you can and go to roller rockers, if it meets class rules.

Congrats Tyler...you've now entered the racecar owners club. You don't get a membership card or trophy but you do get a nice invoice every so often to remind you that your living your dream!!

You good Hoovie? 10 days without a video…

At around 15mins that tour and chat didn't do justice to the Shelby facility... I would be more than happy to watch a 2 hour episode of an in-depth tour and sit down chat/interview with that chap... just absolutely fascinating!

Training people to your standard is also cool and old school. Car companies used to do that.

Ah yes, typical Boss oiling issues. Solid lifter cam, my old XA Falcon Boss 351 dropped rockers regularly. I remember stopping on the roadside to reseat a rocker, and tighten it down. I had long chrome rocker cover wing nuts so I could do this very quickly.

The Shelby factory looked amazing. That line of black GT500 Hertz Shelbys as well as the real Shelby Lightning Ford pickup were simply beautiful. I see a tight run American business there. Which you have to have to stay in business today. I am glad to see American companies like Shelby so healthy and vibrant. They are an inspiration to other American companies to do things right.

Hope all is well. Nothing in almost 2 weeks has me worried.

Haven't seen a video from you in a little while Hoovie. Seems quite a few other people are hoping you're doing alright too based on the comments. I hope all's okay in your neck of the woods. I always religiously watch your videos, you seem like a really nice genuine fella. If I were living near you in Kansas and bumped into you, I'd buy you a beer - you'd have all sorts of interesting stories to tell. Lots of love from Australia

The '66 Mustang fastback is one of my all time favorite cars!!! Hang on to it dude!! A piece of Americana and SOO MUCH CHARACTER TOO!!! Good luck Hoovie.

This video reminds me of the museum delivery of my 2011 45th Anniversary Shelby GT350, although Shelby was located at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway facility at the time. Still have that car to this day. This newer facility is much better than the old one and every enthusiast should put a visit to Shelby factory/museum on their bucket list. Vince is the right guy leading the charge. Thanks Hoovie!

Always watch your channel Tyler, done so since I found it about 4 years ago. Hope all is ok with you. Best wishes from across the pond in the proper Birmingham (UK!).

For the love of God don't give up on THIS car!!! Definitely want to see more content with this one!!!!!!

It’s just a test to see how much you want it.. don’t give up, it took me 1 1/2 yrs to get my C5 to behave properly on track. I absolutely want to see you set some lap times with this baby, specially if you come around here in SoCal so we can see where we at with this thang💪🏎

Love this channel . I am learning so much from all of your screw ups hoovie.

Eight and nine hundred HP Shelby's now days. Wow. Still surprised Shelby never made the throwback Cobra. It was on the cover of one of those rags years ago.

I think part of the story here, that Hoovie is starting to realize now, is that motorsport is EXPENSIVE. It's hard enough keeping modern race machines running, but vintage racing is, and always will be, a really, really fun money pit. That's why you pretty much only see rich people or very smart engineer-types doing it.

Will Hoovie ever learn not to give a car the beans when it's still cold?

Hoovie: "I'm ready for racing!" Car: "Not tonight, I have a headache."

Love those older Shelby Cobras. Also thanks for doing a video tour of the Shelby facility in Las Vegas. Awesome that Shelby still does the Hertz "Rent-A-Racer" program. I know a lot of military people who would love to drive a race car but don't want to spend money on a garage-only vehicle. Awesome that Shelby is keeping that dream alive.

I've been watching your Channel and have been subscribed for more than 2 years. I've never left a message before. However this particular one hits close to home. I lost my fiance unexpectedly because of a pulmonary embolism a few years ago. She left behind a wonderful daughter on a very loving family . she was a Mustang woman throwing it through. She loved Carol Shelby's work she owned a couple of Mustangs through her life . Her pride and joy was a 2013 Mustang GT. She spent a lot of time and love in that car to have exactly what she wanted. Some however not the most important parts of our memories together in that car. I wish I had known of that Carroll Shelby museum long ago. I know she would have been at complete aww of it . Her name was Amber DeMar. I miss her everyday.

It’s a keeper , what a sweet piece of racing history and you own it , wow !

Fantastic episode Tyler! As a past vintage racer I've been waiting for this car to reappear. I recall from the previous episode this has an Accusump that you did not use to pre-oil before starting. Maybe that's why the troubles now?

Thank you for the wonderful tour of the Shelby Factory/Museum. Such beautiful classic American cars, completely awesome! Just fantastic to see.

How the hell do you stay so humble Dennis, you have so much knowledge yet you do not speak down or lecture people you share what you know rather than tell what you know, there is a huge difference, I take in everything and find myself understanding why certain vehicles are important. 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. So thank you for all the hard work from those in front of the camera and everyone behind the scenes that brings these shows which are easily better than anything I can find on TV over here, all the best from Scotland

First Tavarish, now Hoovie. Blowing up engines is the new "in" thing :)

On race motors you need to lash ur valves regularly or else you pay. Pull that motor and fix it and store it. Buy a crate motor and run that. Save the original motor for when you sell it

Ever since the 2005 Mustang I always though Hertz should do something special. Of course, I never thought they would. So I really enjoyed this video.

Its quite a contrast to see the new line of Hertz cars then the "Hurts" engine failure. Good luck with the repair.

I continue to wish you the very best of luck on this Shelby journey. Is it worth it? I’m not sure, but sometimes, as they say …. the Joy is in the Ride. Thanks for the video.

Tough break bro, but you'll bounce back , like always!

Tyler that video was extremely exciting, thanks for the tour at Shelby's!😎

Another great video from Hoovie. Keep it going

Wizard is a good guy, every car guy needs a Wizard in their life

900HP Hertz rentals?!! Can't wait to see the subsequent videos of these cars careening off curbs during the inevitable Cars and Coffee exit burnouts.

I worked out of the Shelby Las Vegas facility with the 2016 GT-H release installing the tracking systems for Hertz.

I've been there a few years ago! Cool shop, I'm glad to see they're doing well.

It's so typical when your really looking forward to something like taking your car out and then boom 😳

Needs a rebuild, why not ITB it. The sound would be amazing

I had the pleasure of working on the original Super Snake. It was Carols personal car for quite awhile. It had a little misfire and we ended up replacing the dual set of points and resetting the dwell and it ran like a dream. Amazing car.

I’m kicking myself. I would stop at the truck stop across from Shelby and I never took the time for a tour. I remember once the parking lot at the race track was full of new Mustangs. Now you’re talking a Shelby Truck. 👍

Your tow truck driver had a big ‘ol smile on his face as he was pulling away 😂

If the wizard doesn’t want work on it, and if you need to find someone who is well versed in Shelby specific work, “Bandelier mustang connection” in Jefferson City Missouri. Paul Bandelier is one of the best in the Midwest.

I met Carrol Shelby when I was a kid. He was such a cool guy. When I was a kid a neighbor gave me a 1:18 replica of a 65 cobra. I've been infatuated with Shelby ever since and the cobra has always been my dream car. I'd love to go to Vegas and tour this place one day.

This was a beautiful thing to watch. Thanks Tyler.

Doesn't look like valve lash issues but I never rule stuff out when it's not me with my hands on it. No offense to Hoovie or anyone involved but owning and maintaining a race car is a bit different than doing so on a "race" (street) car. 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. My 2c as a random internet opinion anyways! I do hope you get to vintage race at some point, it's been a long time dream of mine but I've never really been able to make it happen.

Rebuild the engine to match the flywheel so you can have the easier clutch you wanted.

Hoovie, I had the same expression when I saw your motor making noise and then you’re video cut to you doing the same face… hilarious!

Great to see the production of cars done, with knowledgeable and wise people.

Having been in a 350h before, what stuck out to me was the tiny mirrors when backing it out of a warehouse. That car recently sold for 150k for the vin matching car.

How many miles do you get after a "Wizard's" repair before your car shits out again?

Welcome to the club. my car has been down almost a full year. even after $5000 wasted on a new engine more mishaps = still dealing with bullshit. send me prayers plz.

Great to see Shelby’s operation. Amazing cars!

Shelby was so good at so many things. I Man worth looking up to, and even idolizing. 🤟

Still waiting for one of the bri'ish Bristol cars, like Bristol 405...much more interesting consequences than owning a Bentley Turbo R ;)

Hoovie love the content on the video I think it’s so informative and historical value on cars is so important

When I visited the Shelby facility in Las Vegas, I must have looked out the windows into the shop for 30 minutes. What a place!

"Sorry, you're trying to build a car here 😅" "NO, YOU'RE FINE 😡"

I have always and will always love this channel

I wouldn't let wizard rebuild it. Take it to an expert Tyler.

I had no idea Shelby was still going strong. What they were making there made me drool.

This was cool to watch, felt like I was there!

Got to say I’m from the uk and the tour of Shelby has blown me away ! Great to see that there is still life in the American car manufacturing. God bless America 🙏🏻👌

Nice to see a raw, old school car assembly line. Something about the boxes and tyres dotted about that makes it feel real. Not like a mcclaren factory where you can eat off the floor.

What a Horrible thing to happen to your Motor , Fingers crossed it's not too bad 🤞

It was great to see the Shelby factory. thanks. I'm surprised you didn't slap any car roofs and ask "How much?"

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

I'd love to see an 80s Shelby on the channel, they're clinically forgotten about.

I’ve read that back in the day some people would rent these from Hertz and swap the engines….crooks will be crooks…. Btw; I hate the look of those air cleaners; they look like birthday cakes….🤣😂

Good luck, Hoovie! 🙂

Great tour. Wizard will get that motor sorted.

I don't remember if its a numbers matching car but if its not, please just put a new period corect-ish engine in it. That engine to far into the racing side for the reliability you really need.

This is why its best to leave it stock and why we warm up engines before we put the pedal to the metal kids 😁

That was an Awesome tour of Shelby-Vegas.Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the Stang tour! 😊

HOOVIE I'm gonna be real with ya lol. love the channel and content but if you weren't so well off id almost feel bad for u. I too am a glutton for punishment and buddy I'm here for it lmao

Sell it and get a normal street going version.

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

Damn. I really had hopes that you would get this car right. I know this is Hoovie’s Garage, but a GT350 is NOT a Hooptie, and I think Tyler already knows that. I was just so excited that it was “fixed” that when I saw this video my heart dropped.

Please stop putting the previews at the beginning of your videos. They add nothing, and if nothing else, are annoying spoilers.

really really really very good video, hoovie. thank you.

Great tour of the cobra facility!!!

Loved the Shelby museum tour.

When it rains it pours my friend but I guess that's a part of owning the hooptie fleet

When I saw those broken rockers my jaw dropped... wow.

Thanks for that Shelby pitstop, Hoovie.

The amount of time you have no hands on the wheel in your videos or are looking at the camera instead of the road gives me anxiety. I love the content and the journey you've been on to get where you are but stay safe please Tyler!

The only day I’ve seen hoovie have a good day at the track was in Car Trek and not all of them because in the Car Trek 9 he spun out in the 8 he almost died with the Viper in the 7 he crashed the BMW into a Crown Victoria snd so on

Poor Tyler without bad luck you would have no luck. I wish the cost of the repairs will not be so bad for you.

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!

When your mechanic owes you money, large repair bills are sure to follow😂

It was so crazy running into you at the Casey's station this afternoon. I'm sorry I was a pretty nervous and couldn't get the words out. Also I was in my scummy work clothes. Either way I know you were busy and I appreciate the couple words u did say. I can't wait to see the video on the new purchase. I'm sorry again I wasn't able to make words into a full sentence. I did want u to sign my truck I just couldn't say it! Star struck a little I'd guess ud say!

I like how at 3min the man just ditched all lean manufacturing and "just on time" bs and said that he kept everybody's job. Gigachad
