Nice video. I could be mistaken, but I think the 1964 170 cu in 6 cyl had 101 horsepower, more like “pony power”. I had one in my Falcon. The 105 HP version was later.
@@1964FordMustang , I appreciate your videos. I was a 10 year old car nut on April 17th, 1964 when Mustang was announced to the world. I had the opportunity to buy a 64 1/2 a time or 2 and I regret not doing so. Keep up the good work. That 63 1/2 Falcon Futura with that wimpy 170 and non-synchro 3-on-the-tree made for some slow starts, but I wish I had it now 😢
I would love to know whatever happened to the ‘64 1/2 my dad had bought brand new. He said he ordered it in April and he got it in May. He said it was a “High Performance 289”, but it had the C4 Cruise O Matic, so I doubt it could’ve been a K code, which might not yet have been available, so it was most likely a D Code 289. He’s passed on now, but In his old age he couldn’t remember what the engine looked like(gold or chrome valve covers?) The few pictures I have of him with it, the fender badges are out of view and there are no under hood pics. The old registration papers are long gone so I have no VIN. It was Rangoon Red with black interior, but I doubt that he got the Pony interior. I do recall that it had the Rally-Pac gauges. I have one picture with a legible license plate though. I think he sold the car at some point in ‘68 after my oldest sister was born and the extra money was needed 🤷🏼♂️. I’d love to recreate something similar to what he had-but I’d HAVE to go with a 4 speed or upgrade to a T-5.
Correct, but that was the T-code engine which came in August 1964 and replaced the 170 cid U-Code. The U-code engine came from the Ford Falcon and was used in the very early Mustangs. Therefore and if we talk inline 6 Zylinder „1964 1/2“-cars must be U-Codes. All that and more specifications are explained in this special video: @ th-cam.com/video/3DUhrZAjRR4/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Not really. The Ford Coyote engine, first engineered for the Ford Mustang GT back in 2011, is currently being offered as a 5.0 liter, 460 horsepower, naturally aspirated, modular V8. This engine will presumably fit in a 1964 Mustang. It just not original anymore but with the Coyote ready for lot of fun and enjoyment. You can anytime build a bespoke restomod Mustang or even electrify your Pony. Guess there will be soon more battery packages and EV conversations available. Means fun for everybody with a classic Mustang.
64.5 289s were of the 5 bolts bellhousing type. The 6 bolt came about August of that year.
absolutely- thanks for your comment
The second blue air cleaner of the 260 is not correct. I absolutely agree, it is a mistake. The first one is correct on time 0:22. Apologies 😊
accepted 😅

You are absolutely right and I am wrong with my indication of 105 hp. The U-Code has 101 horsepower. Thanks Mark.

There was a 200 cid engine also.

The air cleaner on the 260 is not correct for a mustang.
You are absolutely right. The second blue air cooler is not correct. It is a mistake and I apologize. Thanks for your comment.
Are you sure the Coyote engine wasn’t available in 1964? I think I’ve seen one in a 64 before.

@@1964FordMustang I was being sarcastic.
I hate political correctness, but love automotive correctness.😂😂😂
