Great old car. As a former ER physician and a super stock racer, I'd like to see Bobby wear a neck restraint and gloves. Even a 125 mph car can hurt you badly in a wreck if you have a mechanical failure......and fireproof gear is only good for 9 seconds of direct flame contact if you happen to experience a fire.......but, all in all, a great car to watch and hear.
Had a buddy that had a 302 boss motor in a maverick around 700” lift solid lifter cam! It literally sounded like it was gonna blow during every shift! Not too mention best sounding motor i have heard
@@manher4335 302 boss is a natural revving engine, it would be very expensive to get a 289 to rev to 9,000 rpm reliably, the inertial forces are incredible.
@@Joetrout I have an old early Mustang with a early 302 in it, does sound along with my old Ford and Merc Flathead, the best sound of any V8's, 350's do not sound nearly the same or as great in any form, stock or not.
Back in the 70s in high school here in Southern California south orange county a friend had street mustang like this except he hsd Cleveland heads very fast it was maroon color no mags just the hub caps that look like chessy spoke rims lol but thats look he wanted understated. Another friend had a super clean red 65 ford falcon w a Ford Cobra speced 289! Dam that thing screamed torque thrust mags and slaper bars it was slightly lifted nothing crazy. I had 68 Fastback Torino GT 390 w a 428 Cobra Jet cam which i totaled huge bummer. I wasn't alone though, red Falcon friend never took it to Orange County International Raceway so no scatter shield one night street racing he missed a shift grenaded the fly wheel and pressure plate the shrapnel hamburgered pretty much everything under the dash as well as the dash, body work sheet metal, his ankles and last but not least killed the Cobra speced 289 motor it was the worst pressure plate explosion carnage id ever seen in person. Another friend took out 80 feet of chain link fence w a super clean orange 69 Roadrunner the car didn't survive. Lots of muscle csrs didn't survive back in the 60s and 70s thevreal bummer is today most could've been repaired but back then the cost to repair vs replace was to much so off to the junk yard.
Clutch explosions are scary as shit ! I was in a buddy's '66 GTO, and he was slamming the gears...the revs were "Taching Up", but the Goat was pulling like I thought it should, so I (luckily) pulled my feet up, just before pieces of bellhousing came thru the floor, hit the ceiling, and landed in the back seat. You could hear the piece of metal "hissing" it was so HOT. The explosion left a small "crater" in the street as well. Yup, I had a Lakewood scattershield on my 4spd 1970 GTO...my buddy, did not. We were both lucky to walk away with feet still attached.

I had a friend in high school who owned a 64 Falcon Sprint with a built 289 hypo. That little car was super fast. The 289 is an engine you can really wind out. I was with him when he raced a 396 Chevelle in Salem Oregon. He flat out walked away from that big block Chevy. I couldn't believe how fast that Falcon was. I would later buy a 1964 Comet Cyclone with a 289 hypo. It was all stock but I put a close ratio 4 Speed in it. I still wish I had that Comet Cyclone, you just don't see those cars around anymore.

☑️ Yeah, and the next best thing was that he mentioned racing at our local tracks, Cecil County Dragway(northeast Md) and Maple Grove Raceway(southeastern Pa). The only way this video couldve been even better, was for him to have sang something like, "fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory"! That would be the trifecta of excellence! 🥰👍
The 289 V8 was one of Ford's best engines. Great BHP per Cubic Inch, even in stock form. The 289, although not made anymore, is still earning its keep in NHRA Super Stock Eliminator as seen here. Very stylish looking Mustang too!

i am 70 years old now , back in 1972 i bought my first car from a dealer , it was a 1965 mustang 6 cyl 3 speed, i put a 289 4 barrel dual points in it; what a job, boy did i get in trouble that car back in the day, yep and it was red, wish i had it today. thanks for the memory.
@@ScottKenny1978 I am aware of the fact that the Cobra Daytona did 425.... but what part of SHELBY do you not understand, lol? Nothing stock there. Webers, heads, cams, crank, etc. The only thing stock was the block. This car in the video had to be totally stock including the carb. Plus, the GT40 ran a 427, 351, and 302. In either case, the GT40 and Cobras were freaks.
SWEET STANG! LOVE THE 289, EVERYTHING I DROVE WAS POWERED BY A 289 OR 302. 73 MAVERICK ,67 COUGAR, 67 MUSTANG, 65 F100, 69 F100, 74 F100, 88 5.0. BY FAR MY FAVORITE.
I've always had a love affair with these small block high revving Ford engines. I loved them back in the day when these cars were new, and this one just kicks my ass. I could watch this all day.
How can you not love this car. First off, a manual trans....who runs a manual trans? Second, no chebbie ls. LS motors are like assholes, everyone has one. Third the rear tires are big but not monsters. Unless you need a humongous tire, the large tire can actually slow the car down. Finally, one of the younger generation enjoying what us old farts always love- lots of rpm and a stick shift. Welcome to the real world!
Well they still ran restrictor plates when they made everybody go down to 390 CFM carburetors because they were still making too much horsepower and NASCAR try $750
PRO STOCK was an absolute blast to watch, "back in the day"...Butch Leal(my favorite), Bob Glidden, and 'The Professor' with his OLDS, etc. Yeah...been to the US Nationals many times, and the racing was tremendous !! SUPER STOCK cars are just unreal. I'm a Pontiac guy, by ownership of a 1970 GTO 4spd....but love Super STOCK cars of all makes. They are an absolute blast to watch.
I used to love Pro Stock back in the day when there were several makes and manufacturers. I don’t even watch the new Pro Camaro class. NHRA ruined drag racing over the past few years, don’t even watch it anymore.
@@nealivers7479 Hey Neal, I hear ya loud and clear. I miss the days of stick shift racing. I had the original Mr. Gasket V-gate, (that this guy now rows the modern version), in my Goats and FBs.
This is sort of old school drag theory and I love it! Small displacement and lots of revs. I can remember being a boy back in the 80's and going with my dad to the races. I seem to remember 2 speed poweglide setups with manual valve body, with the theory being you have so many revs you only need to shift once. But all of that is a faint memory. I do remember a car that belonged to a friend of my dad. A corvette with a de-stroked 327 (290-ish?) Again, faint memory from childhood but I remember a big tachometer with a red line set around 10K. The diff on that car looked like something out of a Mack truck.
You got that right John. I have lots of content you might like. Subscribe to my channel and watch all the interviews with various Stock and Super Stock racers.
yeah....and another one left him too? Never did see his time or speed so leaves me wondering if all the action is the wheelie due to ultra low gearing and a light car??
This was qualifying so we both leave at the same time and are running against our specific indexes. We are in different classes with different weight, motor combo, etc. In eliminations I would get a head start if paired with the bigger motor Cavalier. He gets to run a different year motor (Super Stock GT classes) I have lots of content you might like. Subscribe to my channel and watch all the interviews with various Stock and Super Stock racers.
I had a friend in high school with a white '65 coupe, 4-speed K-code (I think it was K-code 🤔) with intake, carb & headers. It ran pretty damn good to be a little 289.
Non-Shelby K-codes were and are extremely rare. In years of being an engine builder, enthusiast, and commited Ford 60-73 muscle car fan, I only saw one non-Shelby K-code engine. Came out of a rusted 65 GT coupe. And it was then swapped into a Pinto(!). The rest were plentiful by comparison - low, medium, high risers, SOHC's, Boss 302, 351, 9's, SCJ's.....
PRETTY SWEET RIDE BUT MY FRIEND HAS GOT U. HE HAS THE SAME CAR RAN NHRA SUPER STREET WITH A DESTROKED 298 THINK IT WAS 260 AND SPUN 10500 RPMS IN THE LIGHT AT 10.5 SECS
Not a big Ford fan or a Mustang fan. But this thing is the shit. Lime to see small motors rev to the stars and make music. This car for what it has in regards to limitations working against it carb size, limit on heads and other stuff its still AWESOME. I was way big on the turbo V8 stuff for a long time. But now im back to purist N/A stuff. Oh and old school blower motors.
Dang Evan I didn’t know you were there I would have stopped down to check it out and get a chance to shake your hand. (Only 1 hour from my place) I gotta get back on social media so I can be in the loop I guess haha
@@ScottKenny1978 My Brother in law and I once carried my 66 coupe unibody with both gutted doors bolted on, over 200 ft. from a trailer at the end of his driveway to the back part of his barn for storage....but we ain't exactly lightweights ourselves.....
"Fuck Yeah"! You are the man running a 289 rev at 8,000 rpm. I've been waiting to see a set up like this. 289 is one of Ford's best engines. A reason Shelby put this engine in his cars. If it came with 4 bolt mains, this engine would be stuffed in Chevys and Mopar. 😆
Nah we have small journal 283s. Ran one in a 1969 chevy nova, camel hump heads, Torker 2 intake, isky cam and a 650 double pumper (thing was built in the 70s) dipped into the high 12s
@@waddell7354 My first Camaro had a small journal 327--L60x14 Mohawk Super Mag 60's, with 4.11's in the diff. 15 mph, 3,500, in first gear. MAT the loud pedal, SHIFT--NOW! Had to, with that stiff gear out back. I used to put at least a car and a half hitting second, on almost every car I ran against. At LEAST 100 (street) races, and I WON at least 70... Rusted quarter panels, but that '67 RS beat a LOT of "pretty" cars; some had a lady passenger, and when I was running the right lane, more than a couple gave me a look, like "I'd rather be riding with you!" My then girlfriend (she was younger, and had a 11pm curfew, courtesy of "Dad!") wouldn't have liked that, and I respected her too much to try it! lol
HAD A 63' SPRINT PUT A 289 HIPO IN IT CHANGED THE CAM WITH A MUSLE PARTS UNIT W/.520 LIFT,MOTOR TURNER 7,000 BASICALLY A STOCK BLOCK RAN 12'S ALL DAY LONG.
Back in the day I watched a 65 fastback with a 289 and 4 speed and he always left about 8 to 9000 ram and it carried the wheels about two feet off the ground. The amazing thing is that as hard as he flogged that car I never saw it break and I was there most every weekend.
nice video, Stock & Super Stock classes, The only organized NHRA drag racing segment I have any interest in with the exception of nostalgia Super Stock and the wonderful Southeastern Gasser Assoc.
302 Boss would turn 10-12,000 been in a couple while doing so the last in a pickup truck. I had a Built C6 with a nodular 9" spooled in a half ton '71' Ford truck with your screen name for locomotion. That didn't start to pull until 4000rpm . But you know that I'd guess. :-)
The last small block that I rode in and drove a short bed Ford 100 with a car four speed , 9" with spooled rear and powered by a Clevor which dirt tracks made illegal as they worked so well. That had a monster tach with shift light set at 9000 . It only came out of the barn to race . I raced it a couple times and was told not to pay a whole lot of attention to the light as there was ' room ' if it was needed I believe it was a 4:88 gear and would pick the front wheels and the rpm like the mustang here would let the wheels come down easy. Those were the days . . .

The Short Stroke Crank , A VERY High Lift , LONG Duration , VERY HIGH RPM 8000 Plus RPM Revvin Solid Roller Camshaft , WITH Very High Spring Pressure/ Tension Valve Springs ... AND ...

1984 I got a one owner 1966 Ford fairlane with 70 thousand original miles 298 two barrel ugly car bench seat however that 289 was a sweet smooth reliable engine.
I love the 289. They are a great little engine. In high school I had a 66 Mustang with a 289 built by me with street dom intake Holly 650 double pumper and more cam then I needed. Had a top loader 4 speed 9" with 411. It was a little rocket ship and the sound that came out of those headers was music that would just make your heart pound. There were quite a few Trans-Am's that saw her little tail lights!!
Ford's 289 was one of, if not THE best small block V8's ever produced! Sturdy and very reliable. That's why Carroll Shelby even stuck them in the GT40 with lots of success. The 427 of course dominated LeMans for 4 years straight. Poor Enzo...
Had a 1968 GT/CS(Californis Special) for those who didn't know.. some people called them a poor man's Shelby. It wound like this one, it was balanced, blueprints 289 with early small port polished heads, hipo solid cam. I kept to 7800 most of the time, occasionally 8000, chickened out beyond that.
Wow one awesome small block, you have to give the props to the 289 just a awesome motor. What a awesome 65 mustang, sounds so great. Love the video Evan, thanks for sharing.
The owner ofOswald mustang in south carolina would take us for rides in his gt350. It had the same pop to it. I remember the motor was built but the rest of the car was unrestored. It was pretty worn out looking but a great sleeper .

I had a 1964 spoft coupe with the Challenger 289 2bbl wouldn't give you any nosebleeds but got you everywhere you needed to go. Also auto on the floor. Not my first car, a good one tho. An A code225 hp.1965 2+2 was my first.
The first 289 I built revved over 8000 rpm. Stock crank. Stock pistons. X code heads. Ohio George Montgomery worked the “x” code heads. Could I have put more into my “lil engine that could”? Absolutely. But, why? 1967 Mustang. Factory motor, numbers matching. 3 speed manual IIRC. Beast.
You can also tell by what type of brake light switch it has. If memory serves me right, the 64 1/2 use a pressure switch compare to an electrical. The harder you press the brighter the brake lights will shine.
@@marksouhlas2347 Sorry, Mark, but both early "1964-1/2" and "true" early production 1965 Mustangs had the same "Falcon" cluster ... the difference being the Charge Indicator reading GEN on the "1/2" and ALT on the actual 65 production. Late 65 introduced the "round" bezel cluster which carried over to the 1966 models. I was a Ford Registered Service Technician back then, so my information comes from direct observations from working on these vehicles. BTW: I factory ordered my early production 1969 BOSS 302 from my employer/dealer, then traded it in on a 1970 BOSS 429. The screw-in "freeze" plug block and cross-drilled steel crank in my 302 were "leftovers" from the 1968 302 Tunnel Port production [C8FE parts] and came with cylinder heads featuring 2.23" intake valves, whereas the "over-the-counter" and "service part" heads were sold only as a "kit", including four(4) 2.19" valves used in the 1970 BOSS 302 and 1971 BOSS 351.
It is a 64 1/2 mustang.. Originally black on black. Was my father's car who built and raced it in SS/4L and M class in the late 70's and early 80's. Where he set and held several National Records with his 289 combinations and a top=loader 4 speed with a Hurst inline verti=gate shifter. Ran 11:0's consistently and ran low 10;90's in good air and track condition's in the late 70's and early 80's. And sold it to his friend Joe Hartley and few months after selling it dad and me took it to Rockingham and detroit locker come apart and locked the rear=end up about the time dad shifted it into 3rd gear and it turned straight left right into the concrete wall and destroyed the whole frontend. When dad called Joe that he owes him his money back and then what had happened. Joe told dad don't worry about it we will re=clip the whole frontend. And that's what they did cut the whole frontend from the firewall forward completely off and the one on it now off of a 65 doner car and then Joe painted it the maroon and changed the interior from the black to the tan. But it was a original 64 1/2 289 hi=po 4 speed black on black from the factory.

☑️ Yeah, and the next best thing was that he mentioned racing at our local tracks, Cecil County Dragway(northeast Md) and Maple Grove Raceway(southeastern Pa). The only way this video couldve been even better, was for him to have sang something like, "fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory"! That would be the trifecta of excellence! 🥰👍
Motor sounds bigger than it is , nothing like a high rpm SBF
The 289 V8 was one of Ford's best engines. Great BHP per Cubic Inch, even in stock form. The 289, although not made anymore, is still earning its keep in NHRA Super Stock Eliminator as seen here. Very stylish looking Mustang too!

The GT350R made 350 hp. The thing was a monster back in the day.
Inferior to its final form, the 302, in nearly every aspect.
@@The-fs5wn275 hp. 350 was how many steps to the shop, not hp

Thanks. Great user name!
Hard to beat the sound of a well sorted 289 with a great drivetrain.
What a screamer! Old school ripper
i am 70 years old now , back in 1972 i bought my first car from a dealer , it was a 1965 mustang 6 cyl 3 speed, i put a 289 4 barrel dual points in it; what a job, boy did i get in trouble that car back in the day, yep and it was red, wish i had it today. thanks for the memory.
You're welcome.
That’s pretty impressive sucking through that little Autolite carburetor.
I'm amazed he can get that RPM through such a small carb.
What I am trying to figure out is how do you get 450 HP through all of that stock equipment out of a 289!
It's a Ford that's why👍🏿but seriously he has a 6.38 or something gear in the rear end and a short stroke
@@Billhatestheinternet crud, the 289 HiPo with Weber carbs will hit 400hp in the GT40. 11.5:1cr, I think.
@@ScottKenny1978 I am aware of the fact that the Cobra Daytona did 425.... but what part of SHELBY do you not understand, lol? Nothing stock there. Webers, heads, cams, crank, etc. The only thing stock was the block. This car in the video had to be totally stock including the carb. Plus, the GT40 ran a 427, 351, and 302. In either case, the GT40 and Cobras were freaks.
SWEET STANG! LOVE THE 289, EVERYTHING I DROVE WAS POWERED BY A 289 OR 302. 73 MAVERICK ,67 COUGAR, 67 MUSTANG, 65 F100, 69 F100, 74 F100, 88 5.0. BY FAR MY FAVORITE.
I've always had a love affair with these small block high revving Ford engines. I loved them back in the day when these cars were new, and this one just kicks my ass. I could watch this all day.
How can you not love this car. First off, a manual trans....who runs a manual trans? Second, no chebbie ls. LS motors are like assholes, everyone has one. Third the rear tires are big but not monsters. Unless you need a humongous tire, the large tire can actually slow the car down. Finally, one of the younger generation enjoying what us old farts always love- lots of rpm and a stick shift. Welcome to the real world!

@@nealivers7479 Hey Neal, I hear ya loud and clear. I miss the days of stick shift racing. I had the original Mr. Gasket V-gate, (that this guy now rows the modern version), in my Goats and FBs.
This is sort of old school drag theory and I love it! Small displacement and lots of revs. I can remember being a boy back in the 80's and going with my dad to the races. I seem to remember 2 speed poweglide setups with manual valve body, with the theory being you have so many revs you only need to shift once. But all of that is a faint memory. I do remember a car that belonged to a friend of my dad. A corvette with a de-stroked 327 (290-ish?) Again, faint memory from childhood but I remember a big tachometer with a red line set around 10K. The diff on that car looked like something out of a Mack truck.
Likely, a Dana 60--"standard issue," back then, for high powered drag cars... lol

Did I see a chevy Cavalier leave you behind ...wicked car ya you got
yeah....and another one left him too? Never did see his time or speed so leaves me wondering if all the action is the wheelie due to ultra low gearing and a light car??
This was qualifying so we both leave at the same time and are running against our specific indexes. We are in different classes with different weight, motor combo, etc. In eliminations I would get a head start if paired with the bigger motor Cavalier.

I had a friend in high school with a white '65 coupe, 4-speed K-code (I think it was K-code 🤔) with intake, carb & headers. It ran pretty damn good to be a little 289.
Hi-Po, no doubt. 271hp, bone stock...
Non-Shelby K-codes were and are extremely rare. In years of being an engine builder, enthusiast, and commited Ford 60-73 muscle car fan, I only saw one non-Shelby K-code engine. Came out of a rusted 65 GT coupe. And it was then swapped into a Pinto(!). The rest were plentiful by comparison - low, medium, high risers, SOHC's, Boss 302, 351, 9's, SCJ's.....
@@scottb8175 My first car at 16 was a 66 Mustang GT K code coupe with a 3 speed cruise o matic, I wish I had never sold it.

Not a big Ford fan or a Mustang fan. But this thing is the shit. Lime to see small motors rev to the stars and make music. This car for what it has in regards to limitations working against it carb size, limit on heads and other stuff its still AWESOME. I was way big on the turbo V8 stuff for a long time.

"Fuck Yeah"! You are the man running a 289 rev at 8,000 rpm. I've been waiting to see a set up like this. 289 is one of Ford's best engines. A reason Shelby put this engine in his cars. If it came with 4 bolt mains, this engine would be stuffed in Chevys and Mopar. 😆
Nah we have small journal 283s.

That’s wicked cool that you can do wheelies with a 289. Gives me motivation to put the “fast” in my fastback

Back in the day I watched a 65 fastback with a 289 and 4 speed and he always left about 8 to 9000 ram and it carried the wheels about two feet off the ground. The amazing thing is that as hard as he flogged that car I never saw it break and I was there most every weekend.
nice video, Stock & Super Stock classes, The only organized NHRA drag racing segment I have any interest in with the exception of nostalgia Super Stock and the wonderful Southeastern Gasser Assoc.
A sound of electric car will never have nor the smells
Seems like an awesome guy! Knows his car...very informative. Not afraid to tell some details in SS that some guys keep secret.. Awesome build!
It's the 289's short stroke that allows it to rev so high. 302's have a bigger stroke for more torque but it limits top end rpm's.
302 Boss would turn 10-12,000 been in a couple while doing so the last in a pickup truck. I had a Built C6 with a nodular 9" spooled in a half ton '71' Ford truck with your screen name for locomotion. That didn't start to pull until 4000rpm . But you know that I'd guess. :-)
The last small block that I rode in and drove a short bed Ford 100 with a car four speed , 9" with spooled rear and powered by a Clevor which dirt tracks made illegal as they worked so well. That had a monster tach with shift light set at 9000 . It only came out of the barn to race . I raced it a couple times and was told not to pay a whole lot of attention to the light as there was ' room ' if it was needed I believe it was a 4:88 gear and would pick the front wheels and the rpm like the mustang here would let the wheels come down easy. Those were the days . . .

Had a top loader 4 speed 9" with 411. It was a little rocket ship and the sound that came out of those headers was music that would just make your heart pound.

Carroll Shelby said the 289 was his favorite engine! (mine, too)
Ford's 289 was one of, if not THE best small block V8's ever produced! Sturdy and very reliable. That's why Carroll Shelby even stuck them in the GT40 with lots of success. The 427 of course dominated LeMans for 4 years straight. Poor Enzo...

That is actually a 1964-1/2 "1965" Mustang. You can tell it by the "Falcon" instrument cluster exclusive to the first-production-run "1965" Mustangs.
Speak when you know what you are talking about. You don't. The 64 1/2 and 65 had the same instrument panel unless you had a 65 GT.
You can also tell by what type of brake light switch it has. If memory serves me right, the 64 1/2 use a pressure switch compare to an electrical. The harder you press the brighter the brake lights will shine.
@@marksouhlas2347 Sorry, Mark, but both early "1964-1/2" and "true" early production 1965 Mustangs had the same "Falcon" cluster ... the difference being the Charge Indicator reading GEN on the "1/2" and ALT on the actual 65 production. Late 65 introduced the "round" bezel cluster which carried over to the 1966 models. I was a Ford Registered Service Technician back then, so my information comes from direct observations from working on these vehicles. BTW: I factory ordered my early production 1969 BOSS 302 from my employer/dealer, then traded it in on a 1970 BOSS 429. The screw-in "freeze" plug block and cross-drilled steel crank in my 302 were "leftovers" from the 1968 302 Tunnel Port production [C8FE parts] and came with cylinder heads featuring 2.23" intake valves, whereas the "over-the-counter" and "service part" heads were sold only as a "kit", including four(4) 2.19" valves used in the 1970 BOSS 302 and 1971 BOSS 351.
It is a 64 1/2 mustang.. Originally black on black. Was my father's car who built and raced it in SS/4L and M class in the late 70's and early 80's. Where he set and held several National Records with his 289 combinations and a top=loader 4 speed with a Hurst inline verti=gate shifter. Ran 11:0's consistently and ran low 10;90's in good air and track condition's in the late 70's and early 80's. And sold it to his friend Joe Hartley and few months after selling it dad and me took it to Rockingham and detroit locker come apart and locked the rear=end up about the time dad shifted it into 3rd gear and it turned straight left right into the concrete wall and destroyed the whole frontend. When dad called Joe that he owes him his money back and then what had happened. Joe told dad don't worry about it we will re=clip the whole frontend. And that's what they did cut the whole frontend from the firewall forward completely off and the one on it now off of a 65 doner car and then Joe painted it the maroon and changed the interior from the black to the tan. But it was a original 64 1/2 289 hi=po 4 speed black on black from the factory.
