Hello thanks for the compliments. The motor is a 428 040 over Hooker, Holley 750, Comp cams, Mallory ignition,Edelebrock intake, heads ported and ploished, 350 rear.
Reminds me of 1984 when I was in 2nd grade and my dad bought a 69 428 mustang. I use to love for him to take me to school in it. Man I wish he would have kept it and gave it to me.
When he mashes on the throttle you can see the front end of the car lifting up from the torque of that motor and THAT SOUND anybody who has conducted a symphony orchestra knows what I’m talking about
Funny how folks can't hear the sweet whine of the Top Loader, and have not commented on how cool the close ratio trans is. This is sweet and perfect as is!!
Ahhhh, memories: Owned my 1970 428CJ RA, 4-speed for 4 years. Fiberglass Shelby nose, Hooker, Accel, Holley 4150 750, competition valve job, etc.... 3.00:1 diff. Very fast car. Plus turned 2100 @ 60mph. Sold it to buy a Boss 429.
It's widely accepted that these engines made 410+ hp at the crank stock. Gobs of torque, too. They were great all around street engines and the bottom ends were pretty tough.
I have 68 s code car but it has a 428 cj in it it’s an old drag car engine is set up just about like yours except I have a msd dist and 370 gears when it was raced back in late 70s early 80s it had 456s in it and some differtant engine parts it ran 11s et those FEs run good when they are breathing good thanks for showing your video
The video is awesome. We were lucky enough to locate and buy a 69 mach 1 R code 428 4 speed car that we are in the process of restoring. So soon we will be driving one just like in this video.
That 428 is now a stroker 464 here is a pass from the FE race reunion at beaver springs 2 yrs ago ran 11:87 at 112 coasting across the line. Unfortuately it spun a bearing the next yr and now is a 464 with a roller cam and quite a bit radical 625 flywheel hp. No track time yet I think I am done racing it. th-cam.com/video/C489k9HvLNk/w-d-xo.html
Nice bud..had a chance to ride in an original '70 r code twister michigan international raceway pace car last yr..musch faster than i thought a 428 was..sweet!
Dad said no, "its 1200 dollars, Trust Me" Didnt work. He countered with "you know what Mom would do to Me?" He only won because he was bigger than me. Red with the good stripe auto louver and spoilers. No ac or shaker. I later did own a 68 1/2 cj auto.
All I have to say is that if you have never drove a beast like this,or even sat in the passenger seat,you have know idea what you're missing. Your 92 z28,5.0 or Trans am is nothing.
It is tuned real well. Question; how do you keep the hood scoop from moving with that engines torgue? Is the scoop attached to the hood or the engine? Did you rebuild the engine yourself? What size carb? Stock exhaust manifolds? The engine sounds like it breathes real well.
This model Mustang I once owned , 428 cobra jet , shaker hood , had a factory Hurst 4 speed , and it ran like a striped ass ape ….. the new mustangs just do not compare .
My favorite Mustang! On 2006, I added a hood scoop, and had the center painted satin black like Mach 1's, and added the rear window louvers, and a chin spoiler. But wish it had a K code engine! Do you still have this Mach1? I see this video was made some time ago. Almost bought a Boss 429 in 1970, but the dealer wouldn't give me a fair trade in price, for my 69 Plymouth Roadrunner HT, with a 383 and lots of goodies on it! JWB
why don't you replace the transmission with a modern day 6 speeder? would certainly improve the performance not just fuel wise ;) as you'd use more of the rev range and torque band...
I never said anything about 30? 20mpg would be my target with something like this which is damn good for any V8 let alone a Carbed one. I know a guy that used to drive his white 66 Mustang everyday and literally nothing has happened to it. Now, leave the window down, the car running, and the doors unlocked and you are just asking for trouble. He also installed an electric alarm system so... It's not THAT bad to run these things occasionally.
2-3 more gears won't make it a whopping 30 mpg cruiser, it still has a huge motor in it gulping gas. And with these cars they are so rare and valuable that if you drive it as your daily commute car, it's bound to get vandelized by some jealous ass, or in a wreck, trust me, parts for these cars are not cheap whatsoever, to get good mileage it's going to need way more than just gears. Plus having it as a weekend cruiser, and going out for a joy ride is plenty for me :)
I am going to begin my restoration on my 68 GT 390. I found the car on the side of a guys house in 1984. I paid,,,,Please sit down....200 dollars for it!...and i can finally afford to work on it. My stang runs but the 390 is just restricted beyond belief. No wonder these cars were beaten by the camaros in 68. My car came stock with a 600cfm carb? When i get done with this 390 i know it will move real good. Why did ford release these cars like this? Alot of potential in this 390 Hi/Po.
No really a 6 speed can really help these old muscle cars get amazing gas mileage. Set up the 6th gear as a overdrive and use the 1-5th as driving gears and you get an amazing cruiser on the highway thats still capable of gluing you to the seat at a stop sign.
Exactly, we don`t care about laptops, ipad`s, dubstep,low profile tyres,overdrives,hair product,disco music,fuel consumption,front wheel drives,blue tooth, just give us BIG BLOCK 60`s FORD POWER .........NOW So don`t waste our time and we wont waste yours.
Well im not rich and I don't feel like filling up the tank 2-3 times a week thats close to $80-$100 a week just on gas, no thank you. And it depends on where you are, if you're in constant bumper to bumper traffic which is with me, and that is why I prefer not to drive my classic in conditions like that. Now if you aren't in traffic, it's a nice day, and you take the back roads, or if the highway isn't busy, then I would be saying hell yeah i'd love to drive it two or three times a week.
Its funny to listen to the youngsters talk about 6 speeds and all that. I don't remember telling guys with 1932 fords to put small blocks chevies in them. It was probably their dads who did that kind of cross breading. Youngsters acting like their so much smarter than we were. Youngster should have fist fights rather than shoot each other because their too scared they might get hurt.Back in the day when this Mach I was built you would have probably gotten your faced punched in for mouthing off.
How to tell a skilled driver from the average moron -- The skilled driver reverses a stick-shift without unnecessarily revving up; if slowly reversing downhill, he either does that in reverse gear with the clutch pedal being pressed or in neutral not touching the clutch pedal at all, controlling the vehicle's speed just by pressing the brake pedal, still without revving the engine as the average moron does. And listen, the driver in this video proved to be of that skilled type, so thumbs up!
@sawhnyk.... yea.....replace that nearly impossible-to-find 10-spline Top-Loader with some POS aluminum cased garbage that'll break the first time you drop the clutch.....smart.....not to mention destroying the value of the car. Stick to Fox body new junk, kid.
Shit change the 4 speed for a 6 speed??????, ya right maybe put some 20 inch dubs on the car, listen to rap music, go to rave party with it, Jesus some people have no idea what a real muscle car is about
why so hostile?? Look at the mustang rtr-x its better in every single way. And after all who are you trying to impress girls or boys. none of the girls i know care about the engine or if you have a 4 or 6 speed. The faster and newer is always better
I've come back to watch this video probably over 100 times over the past decade and it makes me smile just as big every time 😁
I miss this era of big block Fords. They were amazing engines.
Hello thanks for the compliments. The motor is a 428 040 over Hooker, Holley 750, Comp cams, Mallory ignition,Edelebrock intake, heads ported and ploished, 350 rear.
Do you remember Comp cam spec? 282s ? many thanks
That is a really good screamer! I never get tired of hearing it! Beautiful piece of work! The sound really brings me back to life!
I think FE engines are the best sounding engines of all time. Working mid range they sound incredible. Sweet ride!
Allyn Cheves I could have sworn I was in my '98 Cobra with o/r x pipe with SLP Loudmouth 2 mufflers.
Allyn Cheves pontiacs engines sound great too
And Windsor engines sound great too.
better than a Ferrari 250 GTO?
This is still one of the best damn videos out there....That sound!!!!
Reminds me of 1984 when I was in 2nd grade and my dad bought a 69 428 mustang. I use to love for him to take me to school in it. Man I wish he would have kept it and gave it to me.
Haha, I liked your expression at the end! I bet that big FE loves the cool winter air!!! Sounds sweet.
When he mashes on the throttle you can see the front end of the car lifting up from the torque of that motor and THAT SOUND anybody who has conducted a symphony orchestra knows what I’m talking about
Damn. It was pulling like a freight train in 1st, 2nd and 3rd @ 2:40
+scdevon They don't call them 'Cobra Jets' for nothing!
Miss going to hockey practice in this car. 428 4 speed, big stupid smile on my face every time being 8 years old.
Funny how folks can't hear the sweet whine of the Top Loader, and have not commented on how cool the close ratio trans is. This is sweet and perfect as is!!
Beautiful car...love the sound and the shaker!
YEA BABY! thanks for takin me for a ride! beautiful scenery too. she sounds great!
Damn , how sweet it is !. My favorite car with my favorite engine.
Ahhhh, memories: Owned my 1970 428CJ RA, 4-speed for 4 years. Fiberglass Shelby nose, Hooker, Accel, Holley 4150 750, competition valve job, etc.... 3.00:1 diff. Very fast car. Plus turned 2100 @ 60mph. Sold it to buy a Boss 429.
Never gets old!
Amazing. Makes me want to finish putting my SCJ back together. Currently restoring a 69 R code SCJ, and missing that roar everyday.
Very nice! Rode in one this past weekend and it will set you back in the vinyl!
It's widely accepted that these engines made 410+ hp at the crank stock. Gobs of torque, too. They were great all around street engines and the bottom ends were pretty tough.
I have 68 s code car but it has a 428 cj in it it’s an old drag car engine is set up just about like yours except I have a msd dist and 370 gears when it was raced back in late 70s early 80s it had 456s in it and some differtant engine parts it ran 11s et those FEs run good when they are breathing good thanks for showing your video
this is music to my ears my hart skips a beat when i hear that motor at 120mph i love it!!!!!
Thank you so much for the ride.
The video is awesome. We were lucky enough to locate and buy a 69 mach 1 R code 428 4 speed car that we are in the process of restoring. So soon we will be driving one just like in this video.
Great position on that camera. Gotta love that big block sound cause it ain’t even trying. This is one of my fav videos. How about an update.
That 428 is now a stroker 464 here is a pass from the FE race reunion at beaver springs 2 yrs ago ran 11:87 at 112 coasting across the line.

That Fe Ford sound! music!
Nice bud..had a chance to ride in an original '70 r code twister michigan international raceway pace car last yr..musch faster than i thought a 428 was..sweet!
Thanks for the ride.
- If you still have the car can you upload a new video of the car and another ride on the highway?
The sounds of heaven !. ..
thanks for the comments.I like your handle
Pure music to my ears on those upshifts after 2:38...
I keep clicking this button so I can listen to it over and over again. I wish I could make this specific sound into a ringtone
Thank you, good Lord that sounds SO GOOD!!!
Sir, you have one of the best sounding Fords I have ever heard. Great job! If you don't mind my asking, what exhaust setup do you have?
I know the 427sohc could be in a automatic transmission but could the cobra jet be in a automatic transmission or did itnhave to be a stick?
Best sounding engine ever
Old girl still has some bite and bark to her! Nice CJ!
It’s like the first time I ever heard War Pigs by Black Sabbath.
that rattling is the the seatbelts i assume?
ALL AMERICAN BABY!!! I LOVE IT!
Dad said no, "its 1200 dollars, Trust Me"
Didnt work.
He countered with
"you know what Mom would do to Me?"
He only won because he was bigger than me.
Red with the good stripe auto louver and spoilers. No ac or shaker.
I later did own a 68 1/2 cj auto.
That thing sounds fucking beautiful!
That sound... nuff' said
All I have to say is that if you have never drove a beast like this,or even sat in the passenger seat,you have know idea what you're missing. Your 92 z28,5.0 or Trans am is nothing.
Car sounds awesome!
right about 2:47... best feeling in the world!
that's like the most sexual sound i have ever heard comes outta mustang
gj on that car mate take care of it :)
It is tuned real well. Question; how do you keep the hood scoop from moving with that engines torgue? Is the scoop attached to the hood or the engine? Did you rebuild the engine yourself? What size carb?
Stock exhaust manifolds? The engine sounds like it breathes real well.
Fear starts with FE
What gear ratio is that and is it close ratio four speed
Very nice, glad you posted this. Is that the original trans or any upgrades?
7 Liter 4 speed !
3.89 and yes close ratio
This model Mustang I once owned , 428 cobra jet , shaker hood , had a factory Hurst 4 speed , and it ran like a striped ass ape ….. the new mustangs just do not compare .
Sweet, that is one day after my bday, and I'm building a 1970 with a 428 with a tremec tko
My favorite Mustang! On 2006, I added a hood scoop, and had the center painted satin black like Mach 1's, and added the rear window louvers, and a chin spoiler. But wish it had a K code engine!
Do you still have this Mach1? I see this video was made some time ago.
Almost bought a Boss 429 in 1970, but the dealer wouldn't give me a fair trade in price, for my 69 Plymouth Roadrunner HT, with a 383 and lots of goodies on it!
JWB
beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
She's a Beauty. May I ask where you got this vehicle? And how much you paid for it? thanks,
why don't you replace the transmission with a modern day 6 speeder? would certainly improve the performance not just fuel wise ;) as you'd use more of the rev range and torque band...
The one person which didn't like the video was probably the person that sold the car...
I never said anything about 30? 20mpg would be my target with something like this which is damn good for any V8 let alone a Carbed one. I know a guy that used to drive his white 66 Mustang everyday and literally nothing has happened to it. Now, leave the window down, the car running, and the doors unlocked and you are just asking for trouble. He also installed an electric alarm system so... It's not THAT bad to run these things occasionally.
2:45--------------O.........M...........G..........Sounds like sex feels!
fucking sweet baby that car just loves to rev out
Pretty sweet car, just a curious question does it have power steering?
what mufflers do you have?
That thing is sweet
how sweet it is.
I sure hope that's a 4 speed. I was trying to pay attention to your shifting, but I stopped looking.
2-3 more gears won't make it a whopping 30 mpg cruiser, it still has a huge motor in it gulping gas. And with these cars they are so rare and valuable that if you drive it as your daily commute car, it's bound to get vandelized by some jealous ass, or in a wreck, trust me, parts for these cars are not cheap whatsoever, to get good mileage it's going to need way more than just gears. Plus having it as a weekend cruiser, and going out for a joy ride is plenty for me :)
How much $?

So don`t waste our time and we wont waste yours.
@sawhnyk Why didn I think of that and maybe I should trow away that brand new TKO600
350 gears that was about 120mph in third who knows what 4th was.
2:42 Ahhhh yeeeeaaah.
I agree!!!
Ah how I wish I’d kept mine…said anyone who had one.
are u somewhat slow in the head?
If you have never straped 1 on don't diss, you have no idea, but if you have i forgive you for the smiles
Well im not rich and I don't feel like filling up the tank 2-3 times a week thats close to $80-$100 a week just on gas, no thank you. And it depends on where you are, if you're in constant bumper to bumper traffic which is with me, and that is why I prefer not to drive my classic in conditions like that. Now if you aren't in traffic, it's a nice day, and you take the back roads, or if the highway isn't busy, then I would be saying hell yeah i'd love to drive it two or three times a week.
Manual transmission sounds much better than automatics

why is there aways something to take away from a great video? that damn rattling!!
Yummy!
at 2:45 the engine made me shit uncontrollably
How to tell a skilled driver from the average moron -- The skilled driver reverses a stick-shift without unnecessarily revving up; if slowly reversing downhill, he either does that in reverse gear with the clutch pedal being pressed or in neutral not touching the clutch pedal at all, controlling the vehicle's speed just by pressing the brake pedal, still without revving the engine as the average moron does.

Whatever is rattling is about obnoxious. Can't Ford guys drive all them pony's and no tire scortching burnouts.
Shit change the 4 speed for a 6 speed??????, ya right maybe put some 20 inch dubs on the car, listen to rap music, go to rave party with it, Jesus some people have no idea what a real muscle car is about
I'm sorry but I CANT see anything, maybe u can but from my perspective is f-up!
why so hostile?? Look at the mustang rtr-x its better in every single way. And after all who are you trying to impress girls or boys. none of the girls i know care about the engine or if you have a 4 or 6 speed. The faster and newer is always better
