- REVan Evan takes a close look at Jim and Matt Morgan's 1967 Shelby GT500. This is a wicked-cool NHRA-legal Stock Eliminator Mustang and we caught up with the Morgan's running at Numidia Dragway in Top Stock at the Class Racer Nationals. Top Stock is a heads-up class for AA/A/B/C Stockers running on the 8.25 per lb weight break which is in between A and B.

I've always loved the 67 Shelby GT500's.
Puttin some Chevy's back on the trailer. Nice!!
Gotta love those cobra jets 👍👍
This is not a Cobra Jet. It IS a 428. These were a one off that Shelby did for 1967 for the GT500. They were based on the 428 Thunderbird engine. The 428 Cobra Jet, which came out a year later had quite a few differences from this engine that made them very competitive in Super Stock racing.
@@capriracer351 listen to him explain the engine in the car,it's not the original engine
@@460duck Aw, crap. I guess it is. The Stock and Super Stock rules seem to be a LOT different than what they used to be. Should have know better. The 428 that came in the original '67 GT500's had a 2-4 barrel medium riser intake on it.
good to see an FE still kicking ass
That is a bad ass fe!
What a GORGEOUS car !
One of the most perfect designs to ever come out of the Detroit Muscle Car Era.
Just pure beauty.
And, what a dynamite car...
See the times ?
10.01
10.01
10.01
On the "dial in"...great car
1.20’s to the real wheels 60ft times,because the front wheels are still in the air.Its consistent.🇺🇸💪🏻👍
Awesome to see that these cars are still being driven the way they were meant to be driven and still kicking booty!
i love seeing cars doing what they were built to do & not sitting in a warehouse
Good to see Larry out there wrenching.
Late 1970's I bought a 428Cj motor from a high school friend. Paid $385 for it and that included the shaker hood scoop.
Installed it in my 1976 Ford 4x4 in place of the weak 360 (another FE block).
That was a really fun truck. Legendary in my area for making it all the way through the big mud hole by the Arkansas river.
Those were the days.....
Good ,to see a Father Son combo. Even better yet is it's a Ford. Being a Mopar fan, I love seeing attention paid to something besides a Chevy!
👏👏👏👏 Hell yeah!
Exactly
Good on ya Rupert.nice 2 c comments like yours 👍
Nice wheelies, looks like some old school slapper bars doing the work.
That’s one bad ass Mustang!👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome car guys thanks for sharing
I was just up at Epping for the NHRA Race Month and Half ago and there was a Red 67 GT 500 with a 428 CJ believe it it was a C/SA but I'm not certain might've been a B/SA, had a C-6 and it was leaving with big wheelies every launch. Ending up talking to the guy in the pits, was a very nice guy, had the Shelby Mustang for years. Not sure how far he went in competition on Sunday but was amazed how it launched, he had those Cal Trac Bars with the Mono Leaf Springs. Car was leaving so hard that it was actually on T.V. for the Highlights during the Qualifying Show on Fox Sports 1.
Like lovers leeping. ..Cobra is ready to strike. Great stuff RevanEvan. The Morgan's have got a great combination
Thanks Dean.
Couldn’t imagine the challenge of keeping the car in a straight line after a wheelie like that. Takes talent.
Beautiful Car, and you got the suspension perfected!!
If you don’t like this car you aren’t a car guy
What a closed race beautiful Shelby thanks Evan.
nice to see a FE RUN HARD
Awesome Evan !!!! Thank you
You’re welcome
Hello Evan,
Beautiful car!!! God Bless!!!
Howdy.
My favorite Shelby!
That Pro Stock Engineering breather is epic! Another great video.
Thanks Dan, great camera work, too.
@@revanevan Thanks man, any time!
Hey next time you go to jack roush’s place can you do a video on that early 60’s falcon he was talking about in the boss 429 video thanks love all the ford stuff
That's awesome when he said he was going to take out all the Chevy's he wasn't kidding. Same here I love it when somebody pays attention to something besides the GM stuff as I like all 3 brands but there's definitely plenty of other motors out there that will run just as well and even better. Ever since I saw what Glidden and the Bigfoots did with Fords I just can't get away from them.
geeze,,this track is right up the road from me,...i use to sit and watch from the outside right behind the burnout box in my 69 merc..well as you can see...they have it blocked off with bill boards now blocking off a free pass to the track...they did that back in the late 80's
Thanks brother for the Ford videos, love this car, and it's competing with a Ford 428CJ kicking chevy's butt doesn't get any better!
He sounds like Super Dave Osborne
That’s a blast from the past. Loved SDO.
How did I miss that?! Super Dave will be strapped in to the 67 Shelby with genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings🤣
Evan ....is their such a thing as a knowledge transplant? I would kill for their FE knowledge. I've been messing with FE powerplants since I was 16 (1975). County fair pulling trucks, farm trucks, quarter mile cars etc. Im an old man now but thirst for their knowledge on these special powerplants as if I'm still 16. I love FE stuff, their history .......all of it Evan. The t-bolts. The '68 mustang success' ........the sideoilers. Etc etc. lmk in that transplant 😂😂😂😍😍😍. As always, great content man
Possibly my favorite video of yours yet!!
Well thank you.
Very Badass! Love Top Stock
I want that car!!!
I think I seen that car at the Ford FE meet at Beaver Springs drag way in PA.
That car looks like it would be a blast to drive. Changing plugs on a Mustang with a FE engine isn’t fun.
67 GT500s were built with one messed up engine combo. Magnificent C7ZX 2X4 Med riser intake, 428PI short bl
ock all breathing through 390GT heads and shock~tower fitting exhaust manifolds. 390GTs could not breath so how does adding 38
more cubes work? Who makes said
390 valve/port sized
aluminum heads?...............Amazing on that 850 SHELBY carb!
I bet that 850 carb actually flows like 1000CFM or more. In order to run the numbers they are getting you need air flow and I bet those cylinder heads inner runners are ported to flow alot more. You dont run 9s and 10s without a cylinder head with ports that flow 350CFM to 400CFM
I am love mustang shelby gt500 eleanor ❤❤
Damn nice car man
Awesome car
"Not as sharp as it once was" Just like Us.
I’d like to get into this type of racing. Seems more affordable than trying to go as fast as possible.
It has to run with the engine made for that model and year. Finding a backup engine now, would be nearly impossible. I wouldn’t race this combo professionally. I race my 2015 Ecoboost and it’s still over $70,000 just for the car. I’m sticking with A/S, anything faster would need certain mods and devalue the car.
3370 .. wow that's heavy. Beautiful car
My dad had a 428 in hid 70s f250 that thing was a burn out machine
They shut down the competition in the 2015 Manufacturers Championship race. Top four finals all SCJ.
badass!!!!!
Super kool... 😎
Jim Morgan. Good tuner to have. I remember him in Dorsey Gray Mustangs with Dickie. Have you ever raced Ken Keirs Nova. Old Nova
I have a fuel injected 438windsor 68 mustang th400 4k stall 410 gears weighs 3k lbs and spins to 7200rpm. Runs 9.80 street car e85 drive it anywhere. Never seen a trailer and never will.
Thats a demon. What kind of hp is it putting down? Do you have a channel to see it?
Awesome
Sweet Stang !!!!
Better hope Jack Roush doesn’t see that Cobra, he’ll buy it!
Maybe if they decided to sell the vehicle, he might've attempted to buy the vehicle STRICTLY IF THEY DECIDED TO SELL THE VEHICLE THAT IS..
From experience I always knew that all big block Mustangs needed to be trouncers was proper tune, better carburetion and the ability to hook up consistently. 10 second, rock solid consistency out of a normally aspirated, 1967 car that you can basically drive to work in a pinch. How about them apples, Hellcat??
Seen a 86 5.O put 3 in the air at Commerce Ga. no bar, living dangerously I guess
Is it an aluminum innard C-6?
Jim is a nice guy. FE stands for Ford Edsel, or F**KING EXPENSIVE!! LMAO! Fast car.
I like his race number.. 1320 + 500 ☺
Not limited to the 30x 9 inch slick ?
Nice car, some Shelby stuff not there? Was it removed? Number one, Shelby tag?
I saw a survey on the internet out of all the vehicles what car companies would they pick, and it said a FORD.
Launch it too the Moon
67 GT 500's came with a standard 428 with dual quads and not a CJ. You can take one of the carbs off for stock eliminator?
Supersnake stripes and it's cool that's a real shelby and why 2 batteries?
They never made aluminum head 428. But not a bad crate engine.
Very nice car! Do you know if this car is running a C4 or C6 transmission?
@Tamky west good one LOL
What did car dyno. What transmission and stall. 9.70 all motor?
Yes all motor, not sure on Dyno or stall. But he mentioned the weight and at 129 mph you can do the math on the hp.
Evan what was the set-up with the waterlines and trashcan for ?
He uses a pump and water to quick-cool engine after a run. Racers will then use ice water before they go to the lanes.
That trash can is full of the tears from the teams he's beating. They pump that stuff into the cooling system to keep it running right.
I know I'm gonna catch flack over this stupid question, but did I hear only 388 hp? How in the world can you have a 9/10 sec car with less than a million hp? New to this power thing. Wanting to learn. Thanks in advance
Actually a good question. NHRA rates every engine to establish the power to weight ratio. Most Stock/Super Stock engines make way more power when compared to the NHRA rating.
@@revanevan Evan just to follow up on the horsepower rating in Stock. The car manufacturers were required to provide a shipping weight for each engine /chassis combo back in the day. Then NHRA added the 170 pounds for driver to get race weight. The shipping weight is an absolute and cannot change, the engine/chassis combo cannot be lighter. So back in the day you spent a lot of time looking at the classification guide to see if the engine you wanted to run was available in a plainer version i.e. a Fairlane instead of a Fairlane GT. The new rules allow you to move up or down one class from the original class so now you can run the GT I agree with you about the horsepower numbers being higher than the factory rating, I raced a C/S1971 Mustang Mach1 429/375 hp factory rating factored to 380 hp, the car had to weigh 3590 lbs. That was during the 70's and 80's and early 90's then NHRA took 20 hp off the engine but the car still had to weigh 3590 with driver so the car moved from C to D, 360 x9.5 + 170 equals 3590 The weight didn't change just the class. I LOVE STOCK IN CASE YOU CAN'T TELL!!!
Not as exciting but why would you not set the wheelie bars lower to keep the front end down when leaving the lights?
Easier on the front end and I think lower e.t.’s
This is a pure drag car correct. No driving on street like a regular car?
Yes, Google NHRA Stock Eliminator.
Love watching Mustangs beat Camaros
NICE!!!... He didn't get that blue Camaro @ the end tho!! 😜👍💪
Can’t win them all. We tell it like it is here, no sugar coat.
I tried to find a business contact for Jim Morgan racing engines but nothing comes up. Anyone know his website or contact info?
Guessing it makes over 500wheel with big stalled th400 n deep gears
Weighs 3k lbs.
Too bad these guys dont build engines for customers. I would like for them to build me a 428FE
Shes a beast in a good way! Lol!
Cam sounds bigger than 527 lift
Smh
Always like.seeing those FEs running so good wow
Hot melting tires small better than Jennifer Anniston:O)
Just curious. Jim Morgan's old Red Super Stock Mustang had a 12 bolt Chevy rearend in it if I remember correctly. Do they still do that?? For those that are wondering why you would do that, the 12 bolt is more efficient, in other words less rotating power loss as compared to a Ford 9 inch.
Some do, some don't. A well-built 9-inch has minimal loss so it's a wash. I also learned that turning a rear by hand is not the same as tuning a rear under a load. If there's any deflection in the housing you get drag and that's near-impossible to measure by hand-turning the rear.
527 lift cam only
Yes, as per the rules.
Eat our shorts Chevy...
Nice to see a Ford doing big wheelies and being competitive with the Chebbies. This sure appears to be a clone though, does not have deluxe interior (has standard black dash and door panels), has regular albeit chromed firewall brace (i.e., no export brace), and no fender tag either. “Stock Shelby” for 1967 is also 428 PI (not CJ) with two four barrels. No harm but if not a Shelby, shouldn’t call it one.
Good eye, car is an R-code ‘68, but built to ‘67 Shelby specs for NHRA competition.
It's a shame, this dude is losing so much time with those pretty wheelies, but, think about how much time it'd shave off if those wheels stayed down and kept pointing at the end of the track, I bet it'd be significant....
Yeah, going up means not going out. I took nearly two tenths off by dialing in the squat in my Maverick, now it only puts maybe 2 inches under the front wheels as opposed to 18 or so.
You need e85
What will that do when the engine already uses high-octane race fuel? They both accomplish the same thing, which is allow more ignition timing.
Hey if you gotta freshen up a mild Hydraulic roller 428 cobra jet engine every 3 years, you ain't building it right. My fuel injected 438windsor has 4500 street miles and way bigger street solid roller cam than yours and going on 7 years old and pulls like new to 7200rpm on e85. You need to use better parts. That motor should go 25k plus easy with your mild cam. Isky bushed lifters are the best.
My dream car there is no sexier car on the planet only thing I would do different is put a 600 inch soch motor in it
Beautiful Car. Sad Ford FE heads were so pitful though, so much Potential Lost.👍👍
Absolutely NASTY MUSTANG!!!
Not bad for an old wore out motor
this used to be cool until soccer moms started driving 9 second zero maintenance electric cars. like comparing a flame thrower to a laser beam
They'll NEVER be as cool as this.
@@genefogarty5395 about as cool as putting a sock down your pants. nothing
Are you changing the plugs? No I am changing the radiator? Ask a stupid question you get a stupid answer!
I like his race number.. 1320 + 500 ☺
