MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET IS I HAD NO IDEA THE289 COULD BE MASSAGED TO MAKE 600 PONIES WOW AND AT 8000 HOW????? WITHOUT A BLOWER OR STROKING?????? AND THE SOUND IS NOT FOR CHILDREN TO HEAR ME DESCRIBE AJJJJKKKKKKGGG
The 289 Ford is my favorite engine. This lil girl is simply a beast. The driver did very well indeed. The gear ratios are spaced correctly as the engine stays well within the the Rev range and sounds like a symphony to my ears. Thanks for a great ride along in in a rare and wonderful automobile.
You Aussies have your stuff together. Beautiful car and sound. I love the neat wiring and plumbing. Some American cars look like a nest of snakes. I love the stock looking interior (still has stock heater controls and gauges). Great video, great car.
Out of the 100 odd car channels I've subbed to, this has now become my favourite. The perfect format, interview with the driver and car history, then a couple of laps to hear and see the performance, perfect Glenn, well done mate.
Music to my ears Jethro, thanks so much. We can to grow the channel exponentially which will allow us to take it even further. 2021 should be a big year for us with a lot of new content lined up. We have a lot in store for our much-valued viewers and fans such as yourself. :-)
I had one and it owned me. As kids will do, I sold it and went to college to be a professional pilot. Didn’t suit me so I bought a new sportster and rode off the not the sunset. Now years later I figured out that I had what I wanted all along. I bought an 09 fast back 3.0 liter 6cylinder. Acquired two 289 engines with some goodies, and am in the process of rekindling an old flame. Of all the things that I have had that were pretty quick, my mustang was my all time favorite. Thanks for the video. Makes me want to go to the shop right now at 12:15 in the morning and get back at it. There are many beautiful new models on the market but, like the man said, it’s got to talk to you. The way it inhales and exhales is everything. I probably won’t sleep well tonight, but shortly we will be one. At 67 my wife says I’m too old to be chasing dreams. I will just say in response to that , I ain’t running , I’m driving. Never cave to old man thinking. Would rather go out swinging for the bleachers than being bat boy. Hell, I’m worth more If I ride my shovelhead off a cliff than if a pass laying flat of my back. Build it, drive it, enjoy it, that’s the ticket. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of that little GT!
RIght outlook!! Havent driven mine for 4 yrs due to a screwed spine and $ problems. Even if I never get to hear those solid lifters again I still enjoy having it. Never too old to have fun
1965, I was several months away from getting my driver's license. Sitting at the intersection of North Main and Chaparral was a GT 350, low stance, loud side pipes. The car was mildly famous in town, the only GT 350, reportedly driven by the richest kid in town. A few months later at nearby Laguna Seca I watched the GT 350 race the older C1 Corvettes in the B production class. 1969 I'm off at college and visiting my cousin Jim. He had just purchased a 66 GT350 H, the Hertz rent-a-racer, auto trans, black with gold stripes. Loud and fast. I remember these cars well.
Neighbor back in the 80s had a black/gold Hertz stang, was his daily driver. Crappy apt building bad area but nobody bothered it. We all knew it was rare and collectible back then but storing a car...no way. They are for making memories...wont happen parked under a cover
Let's get real here for a second. That sound is amazing. And it doesn't just take making a engine rev high. It takes understanding exhaust flow. And what does what. He picked the right setup to get that sound too. 8k can sound like shit too. But he made music. Respect dude. "It's one thing when you build a car, it's a whole nother thing when you understand how all the parts work together"
Well he must of built all the Mustangs that were there that day judging by your comment and the last scene of the entire field going by. Funny how all the Shelby Mustangs had that same scream.
@@joemama1151 Both just needed cylinder heads with a valve train and rocker system capable of flowing some fuel and air. The P7 heads on the HO 302 motor are such a chocked up nightmare, I never could understand the purpose of holding back HP and performance
Wonder what would happen with a 289 given 1) an inch more of deck height, e.g. 9.2 inch deck height; 2) maximum flow cylinder heads; 3) an updated oiling system, built from the ground up to be dry-sumped; and 4) a valve train designed to hold up at 10,000+ revs.
That shot at the end with the cars doing flybys, I almost laughed at how much meaner that little Mustang sounded. I wish I had the $ to play with machines like that, what a dream come true. 🐾✌️🇺🇸
I've heard the 1965 GT350R was called the "Corvette Killer" I know a gentleman who has an original. He is 85 years old and knew Carroll Shelby ,he was telling me how he would go out there to visit and work a bit. He took a road trip I know of back a couple years (82 years old ) ago in a GT500 manual shift of course ,he said ,lol. Great guy !! Met him at a car show.i wish i could share some videos !! That GT350R he has is ..... no words ...every year it jumps in value.
I love Shelbys esp the 65 Mustang fastback. Absolutely gorgeous. And those 289 Fords are tough little V8s and sound awesome with those side dumper pipes.😍
This has become one of my favorite channels, my first time here and I've subbed, left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. I really enjoyed riding in the backseat, the ONLY time I've enjoyed it, lol. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful car, lovely noise. But as a side note, is anyone else seeing a little resemblance to R. Lee Ermey - Full Metal Jacket in this guy? Rad old racer, reminds me very much so of my grandfather back in his petrolhead years. I would kill to own something even near as special as his gorgeous Shelby, great work on the content Glenn! 😍
This is one of the nicest Mustangs I've seen in a long while, regardless of year, build application or p.p.c.i. (power per cubic inch) output. If you ever get a chance to talk to Mr. Hansen again please thank him for building such a wonderful car. Hello from the Canadian west coast.
Excellent video, and like all, I really enjoy a 289 @ high rpm. I would love to see that engine and trans in a Cobra Daytona Coupe. Bob Bondurant's '65 Daytona Coupe with "just" 390 hp was good for 197mph at Le Mans. Imagine this 600hp screamer put in place of the original engine - well over 200 mph!
Those early Fast-Back Mustang are IMO one of the BEST Looking Cars ever Produced, certainly for mass production cars. And every Shelby Mustang of that vintage is SUBLIME.✌❤🤗
I've owned 1965s all my life. And I will say you have the suspension dialed in perfect. Comparing it in the race to that Black 1965, you have a much better handling car. When I ran mine at Road Atlanta through the curves, it is 3 gear 100%. for most turns. I see you have a nice tubular set up on the control arms. My set up is original stock parts. Shelby one inch drop, off set Maverick ball joint spindles increasing caster. Biasing my upper control arms rearward 1/8th inch for more caster, 1968 Mustang big block front coils with a 1/3rd coil cut. I almost litterally have no shims in the upper arms to the body, and she sits level allowing for bigger front tires. I did put a Tremec five speed using the original clutch linkage and Zbar. I picked up the two fulcrum holes on the four speed bell housing and transfered the two oles to the Tremec bell housing. Than adding a 5/8th inch alluminuim block for a spacer for the fulcrum to the bell housing. Everyone thinks I have a four speed. I also have a aluminium driveshaft. It looked like you have a panhard bar on the rear end. I wish I could see how you set that up better. I use a Stam Bar rear sway bar with hime joints, which works both as a sway bar and traction bar too. And yes, I would take a 289 over a 302 all day long. I love how you ate the Porsches up. if you can do that, I would't worry about the Corvettes. Mine is still a street car, but it is fun on the occassions that I have taken her on Road Atlanta. You have built a very inpressive machine.
@@Combat556 - That's what I would guess as only 10% were 4 spds. My Dad's 68 Galaxie 500 XL had a 390 with the C6 trans. When he traded it in at 100,000 miles I could still get it to chirp the tires shifting from low to second at about 60 mph! Great tranny! The amazing thing was the 390 was not the 4bbl. premium fuel version, it was a 2bbl. reg. gas burner!
Love,this beast! I use the high rpm’s like this engine with the tall gears in the top loafer. I shift from first to second doing over 110kmh then second to third around 160kmh. It sounds incredible through the 3” Mac exhaust from front to back. I usually see a lot of guys in their little ricer fart cans begin to shit them self just before I launch at over 8000rpm’s from the street lights. Priceless!
600 HP out of a 289 with a single 4 throat carburetor? The horses down under must have some seriously short legs!!! I've built enough 289s to these specs since they first raced the Trans-Am series in the USA in the 1960s to be sure of that!!
Why not ? I’ve seen 302 make similar HP Amd more so it’s not out of the question. I’ve seen naturally aspirated 4cylinders make 3-400 hp with half the displacement of a 289.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Yes i worked at an auto parts store and had speed equipment at cost. Beat everyone off the line but those 427 Novas would pass me at the end of 2nd gear Now im 58yrs old bodyman by trade picking up a solid 65K code tomorrow for myself to restore
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Agree...heck even an honest 13 sec car was a contender at the weeklys t races. 12s...usually were trailered to the track back then
I have a real hi-po in a 67 coupe 4speed with a 9 inch posi with 3:89 gears. I shift at a mere 6200 rpms so as not to blow it up. His motor has to be all after market because the 289/302 blocks can only withstand about 500 hp before they split down the middle.
@@jackpoage5419 The big issue is handling these 1st generation Mustangs. They tend to oversteer. So it isn't the horse power, its the limits of these cars in their handling. Doesn't matter how much HP, they can only push so fast through a turn. And it also depends how much the car raises in acceleration. The shifting of the weight from the front to rear affects the handling too. They aren't a Porsche. lol
I love it too Mr. Owner! The 281 in my 06 GT Mustang is snappy but I'd probably only get to rev it to 8200RPM once, although it sees 7k sometimes as a stock motor.
Naturally aspirated 289 pushing 600 horse 😳 That'll make those bow ties spin and the nopo guys cry 😂 I've always said the 289 was one of the greatest engines of all time. Nothing like the sound of a 289 especially in a Shelby a double whammy.💪😜
Love the car, brings back lots of great memories... but that shifter. I've seen smaller shifters on a John Deere tractor! Hurst still makes the super shifter you know. Even a Competition Plus would be smaller than that garden rake. ;-) Great car tho and nice video. Sweet sweet sound.
Excellent car there, and engine sounded great!! Trying to end up with something like this from my shortstroke Mopar chrysler287 engine... Everyone said I should have gotten a hemi, but after this thing gets put together how id like, im sure ill be eating hemis for breakfast lol... Gotta start the day off with a nutritious breakfast ya know!!
Like any motor. Cylinder head flow along with the cam, induction and exhaust system to match. The bottom end of many motors have the same ability. With its mods it is really no longer a Ford 289. nascar 358 CI is over 1000 hp when there is not a carb size restriction
@@dailylife3975 Except that a NASCAR V8 has a 4.185 inch/106.3mm bore, 3.250 inch/82.55mm stroke and 15 years ago turned 11,000 rpm the same RPM as the Aston Martin Valkyrie's V12, but with much higher piston speed.
Glenn I read your comments below about not being about to give out the specs for this engine. Can I at least ask the name of the engine builder that is responsible? I would like to have him build mine. It is insane!
Hi Anthony, he’s a friend of mine and a great guy. Spent a lot of time in V8 Supercar at the highest level building engines. His name is a Craig Smith from Smiths Speed Works in Wagga Wagga NSW, Australia. He also runs Vintage Racing Services there too.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Fantastic. Looking forward to it. I missed the show when it got axed from the tv. Love your work Glen. Do you still have the red HQ monaro and what happened to project war horse? I have so many unanswered questions from the show and your work on Gasoline. Please show and tell.
Smitty K , thanks so much mate. The sad part is the show never got axed as it was performing great! The media company that owned the network we aired on went bust and the whole channel went down. We had other TV network alternatives but none that were financially viable in today’s TV world with its lack of solid support for local productions. Digital is far better for us anyway, and presents so much more flexibility with format and content, plus viewers can watch at their leisure, even on their TV screens with today’s smart TV’s. My car collection has been shuffled around a bit but I still have some cool cars that will be featured on our channel. I’m eagerly awaiting the end of all these restrictions and border closures so we can get out and capture some more new content. 😊
That small block is absolutely screaming through the rpm range... Man, what a sound, it sounds so exotic.
Yes, that is the F.O.R.D. sound.
I wish I could get a car that makes that kind of noise!
She certainly sings. Music to my ears!
The 13 people who gave this a thumbs down likely drove a Porsche that this man passed 😂 This car sings the song of my people! 😤
1 thumbs downer was that guy driving the black 66 mustang
This is the best commemt lol, fuck Porsche 😂
Nothing like the sound of a good ol V8 . That was music to my ears 😀
289 is one of Fords Jewels....if not thee. Awesome small blocks.
The FE is the crown jewel. The little Windsor is the greatest small block.
You are so so right.

Nine PSI 🤣🤣 I remember being in Torana’s that used to let you know you were going fast enough😉

A 4" or bigger piston with a 3 " stroke always is the formula for RPM's.The sound at 8K and above is music that only a few ever get to experience .
The 302 is 4.00 x 3.00. The 289 is 4.00 x 2.81. I've owned both. The 289 made power about 1500 rpm higher than the 302. Loved that engine!

@@jackpoage5419 The big issue is handling these 1st generation Mustangs. They tend to oversteer. So it isn't the horse power, its the limits of these cars in their handling. Doesn't matter how much HP, they can only push so fast through a turn. And it also depends how much the car raises in acceleration. The shifting of the weight from the front to rear affects the handling too. They aren't a Porsche. lol
I love it too Mr. Owner! The 281 in my 06 GT Mustang is snappy but I'd probably only get to rev it to 8200RPM once, although it sees 7k sometimes as a stock motor.
Coyote swap, Cobra Jet, rev to 8500.
Ran my 90 ZR1 to 7 til I realized it was done making power about 6200
@@gordocarbo yeah 6000 +/- is a mortal engines higher limits so it's at the end of most cams power bands... including mine!
Sweet sound wow!
Naturally aspirated 289 pushing 600 horse 😳
That'll make those bow ties spin and the nopo guys cry 😂 I've always said the 289 was one of the greatest engines of all time. Nothing like the sound of a 289 especially in a Shelby a double whammy.💪😜
Love the 289s and chev 302s you could get the rpm and power out of them and they stayed together.
What a beauty…!😍
Ah, the music of my people.
I wish they discussed the build of that engine more. Great vid!
Me too Im dying to know the internals Id have a tough time believing those were stock heads
@@gordocarbo I found in another video they're not... there is a follow up video where the engine build is discussed.
That is the real sound of music! I have a restoration project of a 65 Mustang fastback. Not a Shelby but maybe a Shelby clone?
Ain't nothing like ford power 👍🏿👍🏿
Thats why I love the 289 in my Pony!

Love Her !!!!
Love the car, brings back lots of great memories... but that shifter. I've seen smaller shifters on a John Deere tractor! Hurst still makes the super shifter you know. Even a Competition Plus would be smaller than that garden rake. ;-) Great car tho and nice video. Sweet sweet sound.
Excellent car there, and engine sounded great!! Trying to end up with something like this from my shortstroke Mopar chrysler287 engine... Everyone said I should have gotten a hemi, but after this thing gets put together how id like, im sure ill be eating hemis for breakfast lol... Gotta start the day off with a nutritious breakfast ya know!!
We’d love to hear that little Mopar of yours scream when it’s done. Mopar fans right here. See my early Valiant Slant Six on this channel.
hard af the only reason im not leaving a like is bc its at 289 likes and ion wanna mess that up :0
Super cool 😎 would love to know more cam and header specs
oh man the sweet sound of the limiter....didn't think I would get to hear that, this car is legit meant to be drivin hahahaha AWESOME!!
Sounds really good. Not sure if I believe 600hp though......
8500 rpm???? Wow!!
Darrell kind of looks like Carroll Shelby😲
1:18 how in the F do you get that HP from a 289? Mine wants to know.
Like any motor. Cylinder head flow along with the cam, induction and exhaust system to match. The bottom end of many motors have the same ability. With its mods it is really no longer a Ford 289. nascar 358 CI is over 1000 hp when there is not a carb size restriction
I would like to know how he has a push rod 289ci pushing 600hp at 8500 rpm without troubles!? Freaking amazing.
It sounds like a nascar motor
@@dailylife3975 Except that a NASCAR V8 has a 4.185 inch/106.3mm bore, 3.250 inch/82.55mm stroke and 15 years ago turned 11,000 rpm the same RPM as the Aston Martin Valkyrie's V12, but with much higher piston speed.
600 on a warm day running on gnats pesh!
Have to critique the method or lack thereof.
Undisciplined driving... but hey, much fun.
Let The Car Go!
Hey, does anyone know quickly how he gets it to rev up to 8500RPMs? Is it the heads and cam primarily. Thanks in advance.
And light flywheel too !!
@@arkhsm thanks
Yes absolutely along with a valve train that will perform at that kind of rpm. That is how you run higher rpm.
@@helpful5539 That and some real careful machining and balancing to live up there. Not a cheap summit racing catalog build
My first car was a 1965 mustang 289 ragtop
Glenn I read your comments below about not being about to give out the specs for this engine. Can I at least ask the name of the engine builder that is responsible? I would like to have him build mine. It is insane!
Hi Anthony, he’s a friend of mine and a great guy. Spent a lot of time in V8 Supercar at the highest level building engines. His name is a Craig Smith from Smiths Speed Works in Wagga Wagga NSW, Australia. He also runs Vintage Racing Services there too.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Wish he could gice us come clues about the heads at least
Are you going to do some new programs Glen. I have seen these when you called in Man and Machine. It seems that the PC police has got to you to.
We sure are. All new content for 2021! 👍
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Fantastic. Looking forward to it. I missed the show when it got axed from the tv. Love your work Glen. Do you still have the red HQ monaro and what happened to project war horse? I have so many unanswered questions from the show and your work on Gasoline. Please show and tell.
Smitty K , thanks so much mate. The sad part is the show never got axed as it was performing great! The media company that owned the network we aired on went bust and the whole channel went down. We had other TV network alternatives but none that were financially viable in today’s TV world with its lack of solid support for local productions. Digital is far better for us anyway, and presents so much more flexibility with format and content, plus viewers can watch at their leisure, even on their TV screens with today’s smart TV’s. My car collection has been shuffled around a bit but I still have some cool cars that will be featured on our channel. I’m eagerly awaiting the end of all these restrictions and border closures so we can get out and capture some more new content. 😊
