If you have an air compressor do a leak down test. You can isolate the issue depending where you "hear" the air escape, i.e. crankcase (rings etc), intake or exhaust (bad VT part), you would also get bubbles in ur coolant if its a headgasket.

Ya it was a shitty day at Toms dyno. Elliots car was putting excessive pressure into the crankcase. We pulled the pcv valve and the thing was puffin' with the cylinder strokes. Hopefully it's not a ringland but if it is, Cody has many LT1 pistons/rods, or even my old complete LT1 shortblock sitting there as a last resort. It's number 5 and 7, so pulling the the piston/rods out the bottom shouldn't be too bad as long as the crank journals and bores look good.
But then again........... if you're ready for an LSX swap I know someone who could help ya out.
