The 289 is the best sounding engine ever. I am building a 1973 track days coupe using the KI KarKraft prints for modifications. I found a rust free Arizona body and will be my last hot rod.
Love seeing my Aussie brothers share my love of the 60s Mustangs! The sound of those 289s never get old and you’ve done a great job wheeling those babies around. Cheers from the USA 🇺🇸🇦🇺
I have been lucky enough to own a 65, 67 fastback and 70 fastback mustangs. That 289 that was rated at 271 HP was actually over 300 HP, a common practice back then was to under post HP on almost every car as to not scare people away, Boy have times changed. The 351C that someone put into the 67 was a dream and this is a motor that should have been made just for this car to be honest. The 351 C is a midrange beast and she just wants to run! Loads of HP and torque where ever you need it, upgrade over the old Y block 390. The 428 Cobra that was in the 70 ... uhm ... scary! meanest motor I have ever had the pleasure to drive even if it's not the fastest or strongest it was WILD! The one that was the most fun for me to drive? Drag it was the 70, left turn only the 67 and 70, road course 65 and 67 ( the smaller V8's make a huge difference here in handling ) Daily driver? that would be the 65 for the better gas mileage and those stop light to stop light drags. from 0-60 the 65 is hands down the fastest being so light.
In the 60s when I was a teenager I would go out to Warwick Farm and watch "Uncle" Norm Beechey and Big Pete Geoghegan and later Bob Jane race their mustangs and the memories of them still give me thrills.Norm was not only part of the Neptune Racing Team along with Jim McKeown (Lotus Cortina) and Peter Manton (Morris Cooper S) he was also the first person in the World to win a Touring Car Race in a Mustang.They were heady days and many times they were support races for the Tasman Series when the F1 works teams would come down here from Europe and race in their off season so I got to see the greats like Jim Clarke,Jack Brabham,Jackie Stewart,Pierce Courage etc along with our own stars such as Leo Geoghegan,Kevin Bartlett,Spencer Martin to name but a few.I cherish those memories and although I am a septuagenarian now I still have a "need for speed" which I get mainly from motor bike racing,oddly after loving the car racing so much in my younger days it doesn't tickle my fancy now and I find the F1 racing quite boring and as for the cars they are only recognisable as cars because they still have 4 wheels and no longer do the drivers need the dexterity of a River Dancer to work the pedals to drive them fast and computer skills are a necessary asset and not mechanical nous which once upon a time was a must,Anyway that's my little rant and I hope there are still people who read this that are old enough to get a kick out of what I've had to say and maybe bring back some good memories for them.
I'm from the states. I'd love to know how you guys are punching that kind of horse power. I never dyno'd mine, I have a 40 over 289 roller rocker arms, REED Cam, electonic ignition, MSD 6AL, 650 Holley, 1985 302 diaphram clutch Tremec 5 speed. I modified the bell housing with a spacer on the fulcrum to the bell housing to use all the original Z bar and clutch linkage. Made a template from a four speed bell housing and picked up the holes on the Tremec Bell Housing. Alunimium drive shaft with a 8 inch traction loc 3:55. I also in the 1980s did my own suspension modifications using factory parts. Shelby one inch drop, welded 1/4 inch plates to re enforce the coil spring saddles where they bolt up, kicked the upper control arm shaft rearward 1/8th of an inch for more caster, installed Maverick off set ball joint spindles adding more caster and disc breaks, export an monte carle braces, One inch front sway bar with hime joints, 11/16th Stam Bar rear sway bar with hime joints, 1968 Big block Mustang front coil springs with 1/3rd coil removed, Koni Shocks. All this achieved minimum shimming, level stance for bigger front tires, and is one fun street machine, and occasional track for fun. And the alignment guy let me sit in the car while he aligned it and adjusted the hime joints. I have always been a fan of the original car because of it's road racing ability. With the right gearing that third gear will just slide you through the S-turns. I have only gotten to drive on just one track, Road Atlanta. If you are not familiar, it is in the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. The track is like racing in the mountains, it is a blast.
Thanks mate, yes, I had my wires crossed thinking the 69 was the same platform as our XW - XY Falcons, running on 111". Got XY's on the brain! lol!. I agree, and I'm a huge fan of the 289, great little engine, very robust too.
had one in a 70 mavrick grabber 4 speed maybe 365 390 hp too much and i wont talk about papas 390 56 crownvic scooter d ps i pass that same car comin home from work once a month sweet lub scooter d
Wow, it's so weird to see the steering wheel of the 65 on the wrong side of the car....even more weird seein dude shift with his left hand....WOW, that 289 makes a glorious noise, don't it?! ....🤘🏻👊🏻🇺🇸
4.00 bore and 2.87 stroke, one of the most "over bored" engines in mass production (for the day), it lacked torque, but loved to rev and built RPM quickly.
I once owned (1977-1980) a '66 Shelby GT-350 which had been modified. It's 289 was pulling 400 HP. It, too, had the Ford toploader 4-speed and 9-inch rear end. Had a four-point roll bar, all fiberglass front end. Was light and fast. I bought it for $4k and sold it for $5K after driving the hell out of it on the street for four years. The cars were just beginning to become valuable at that time.
Had a '69 Mach 1 with a 351W and 4-speed back in the day. It didn't scream quite as loud as this one, but it sure was fun. This one had to have been a complete BLAST!
Our family doctor drove an 86 mustang with 351 W having over 600 hp for years on street and it sounded very similar to this 69 racer when he opened exhaust dumps and throttle....truly an amazing sound!!
The 65 mustang was a true pony car. The 67 was longer, wider, and heavier. The 69 was longer, wider, and heavier yet. In 71, when they changed body style again, longer, wider, and hevier were given new meaning.
Another superb Australian motor sports production. Don't stop doing what you guys do. And never try to copy anyone else. You are the best at getting race cars on camera. A similar US production would be full of bs cuts and editing that make no sense at all, and would fail to demonstrate the cars capabilities.
Thanks so much Greg! Being a genuine racer and enthusiast myself, it makes it so much easier to create the type of content that I’d like to see myself, without the influence of those in the production game that are not truly car enthusiasts.
Both of my Mustangs have a hole where the radio is supposed to be. When people get in or are checking out the car they often ask where the radio is. I just smile and say that the music comes from under the hood. Car guys get it.
I wondered where you’d gone after having lost you off the TV, so happy I’ve found your channel again. Great vid. Looking forward to working my way through the rest of your excellent playlist. Much happier that you’re focussing on driving this things as they were meant to be driven.
I've never even sat in a right-hand drive vehicle. I'm impressed how the driver switches from left-hand drive to right-hand drive and easily works the manual transmission on such a busy track. I am sure that I would throw it into reverse at the exact wrong time.
Damn that little 289 sounds heavenly in fact the Cobras that first gave notice to the European race circuit was the 289 until the 427COBRA came along to dominate.
Shelby won 1964 Le Mans GT Class with a 289 k-code essentially under the hood of the Daytona Coupe. In full Shelby race trim that 289 ci. was up around 400 HP.
My god the sound of that lil 289 at the hands of an Aussie. My favorite crazy men and drivers. Take it from this American, much respect and Thank You for this post
the secret to quick revs ? aluminum flywheels . but use a scattersheild , youl thank latter because u will still be alive - after your flywheel didnt make it .
1:43 "I'm about to drive one of the angriest little early historic racing Mustangs in the country. Let's hear this little 289 scream!" It certainly did! What RPM where you hitting? Sounded like at least 7,000, maybe more. Love it!
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Wow, that's really zinging! The guys running the big 427s thought 7,000 RPM was a lot back in the day. I guess it was for those engines.
We dumped the Brits in our mega V8s in the 60s. They took to it like ducks in water. Still love the Uk guys muscling the 427 fords on the tracks. Fun as hell to watch
You're spot on Doug, our cars in this category here are based on the Aus Improved production series in the period of which featured some Trans Am spec cars out of the US. Allan Moffat's famous 69 here car direct from Kar Kraft. The 69 we tested in this video was a recent era build but in the colours of the famous Bud Moore Engineering cars run in the USA. :-)
@@dougvaldivia3395 , it was such a great era for sure. We have another awesome racing series in here in Aus called Touring Car Masters too, similar deal. On another note, did you see the 63 427 Lightweight Galaxie episode on our channel!
I have a 65 Mustang fb and am inspired to re-tool it back to track specs. the 69 is not to the 305 cu. in. trans am limits but still a vicious little brat!..
The 69 sounded like much more than only 18 more HP than the 65. It also acted like the tires are shot. Need new rubber and I bet it would behave much better.
Trans-Am in the United states was limited to a 5-litre displacement - so not 351's allowed. Why doesn't he have a Boss 302 like he should? I can make 650 HP out of one of those pretty easily...
Our Improved Touring Car category here in Aus back in the day allowed bigger engine capacity and this is what the current day historic class allows. But, I believe he may be building a Boss 302 variant as we speak! :-)
sweet 69 might have replicate in a 1/24 scale owh of course two mini me's for the slot track course i have a 1/24 scale track with cars that chassis that'll any body style keepin tires on the darn tings is the problem hahaha thanks scooter d
(1970 - 72) '66 Mustang story: Holes in the original muffler sounded better than stock Ford or Thrush muffler, 289 2v is not enough torque for proper burnout. 4 speed is 50 lbs + heavier than 3 speed transmission (twice) , more fun on hills and curves, one and two record on Lake Street, unleaded gas and valve job go together, air shocks raised rear even with front , those 2 years ended on a parked Cadillac and another teenage walking tourist but that is another story...
Yep.we got a guy drivin erratically with a taillight out.im gonna go ahead an initiate a traffic stop here...see what else might be goin on with this bloke
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines Mea culpa. Sounded like more than 7,000 to me. You're right, though - about 7,000rpm with C6FE heads (if you could lay your hands on them) back in the day.........
Mike Durhan , I turned the 289 to 8,000 rpm. With cylinder heads getting scarce these days this category allows the 65 -66 Mustangs to use a World products cast iron head, but no porting allowed.
@@GlennEverittMasterofMachines I hear you. I was speaking of "1966". I had a friend named Walt Hane who drove 5R103 (GT 350) for car owner Randy Blessing. I was going by what he told me it was like "back in the day". Their engine builder was a guy named Webster Benner (sp?). He was really good. All this took place in and around Lakeland, FLA, where Randy and Webster lived. They won the 1966 SCCA B/P national championship, I believe. Personally, I didn't start vintage racing until 1991 with an A/S 1964 Falcon. I turned about 7200-7300 max with C6FE heads on a boss block with steel crank and Carillo rods. 289 c.i. Later I went to World Products Windsor heads, which were better, and Eagle rods in a Ford Racing boss block. I still kept it at around 7500 max., although the eagle rods were lighter and longer. I enjoyed your video.
my 289 with my first port job , lunati 518 lift , 9to1 comp. , dual plane single highrise hit 7,800 rpm with one extra addition . 30 thou.valve spring shims ! no more valve float .
Keep your mouth closed (lips sealed) while you are driving on camera. you will look much more pleasing to the human eye, and thus, more credible as a driver..

All this took place in and around Lakeland, FLA, where Randy and Webster lived. They won the 1966 SCCA B/P national championship, I believe.
Personally, I didn't start vintage racing until 1991 with an A/S 1964 Falcon. I turned about 7200-7300 max with C6FE heads on a boss block with steel crank and Carillo rods. 289 c.i. Later I went to World Products Windsor heads, which were better, and Eagle rods in a Ford Racing boss block. I still kept it at around 7500 max., although the eagle rods were lighter and longer. I enjoyed your video.
my 289 with my first port job , lunati 518 lift , 9to1 comp. , dual plane single highrise hit 7,800 rpm with one extra addition . 30 thou.valve spring shims ! no more valve float .
Beautiful cars. The driver is a hack.
Keep your mouth closed (lips sealed) while you are driving on camera. you will look much more pleasing to the human eye, and thus, more credible as a driver..
I was only driving about 7/10ths, and as this was originally produced for TV they wanted commentary. RUclips thankfully is a different ballgame.
Built Ford Tough.
