Building relationships with other car enthusiasts is one of the best parts about this hobby. And on that plus side you were able to have a friend help with your new install. Very cool!!
Couldn't agree more!
Ben, Making Great Content Is Second Only To Beating On The Mustang! Have A Most Awesome Afternoon!
Thanks!
There’s a 68 green Chevelle on your shorts. Can you connect me with the owner, I would love to buy it! Looking for a green one it’s sentimental
I have that exact clutch in my 68 with a 428 shoved in her. Alleviated all of the clutch linkage issues by going to a hydraulic clutch. Absolutely love it.
Nice and thanks!
DOPE! Been a minute since I seen any updates on your mustang. Salute
More to come!
Great to see a spacer plate that covers the front of the bell housing. I rock or something flying up in there could definitely blow the clutch up. My 66 is missing the plate all together
I was worried about that haha
I HAVE THAT SAME CENTERFORCE CLUTCH SET UP AND LOVE IT!
Awesome Dennis
❤ all the right choices to make it bulletproof
Thanks!
Gary is a friend indeed , cool Cop giving a shout out. You should film your Dad and his rods
Yes🙌
Wow our cars are so similar. I have a 1965 mustang with a 347 stroker mated to a t-10 transmission. They’re in about the same condition as well 😂. Love watching these videos because I’m going through the same stuff with my car. Keep it up!
awesome Tyler
Great stuff here! Go Ben and Four Speed, keep moving forward!
Thanks! Will do!
Nice job Ben! So cool you can include your dad as the memories will last a lifetime and I guarantee he's loving every minute of it!
Best muscle car content creator out there, I absolutly appreciate every video.
I appreciate that!
Also, if you ever come up to Apple Valley, I have a pretty big Ford collection to show off! Performance, Hot Rods, and Truck projects! Hit me up!
Sounds awesome
Great video! Those guys at the shop seem very cool.
Yes great guys
Kudos to Gary for the shop time and helping a guy out, that was awesome of him! And your dad pitching in too, mighty fine. Your a good dude Ben, glad to see some good karma come your way. Thanks for another great video! Love the ‘stang✌️
Thanks! They are great
You have a nice mustang bro! Its coming a long very nice !
Thanks jerry
@@FourSpeedFilms your welcome! I really want to own a first generation mustang and your channel is inspiring me to save up and look for a classic mustang!
Reminds me of my younger days. My first car was a '65 Mustang GT, I bought in 1973 for $500. I drove it through high school, starting going to a local community college where I rebuilt the motor in it and installed a Melling camshaft. The next year I was involved in a wreck with an 18 wheeler, and totalled the car. Bought a '67 Mustang with a 6 and a three speed, rounded up the parts I needed and swapped in the 289. Wish I still owned either of those cars today. But fast forward and when I retired, I bought a restored '73 Mach 1. So we go to cruise ins and car shows. Still have that Mustang fever!
Awesome
Very nice, I was hoping to see you at the Black Widow booth at the Goodguys car show. I saw Craig’s car there. Good to see you making videos bud.
Thanks!
That's pretty cool not only are you getting some good sponsors you getting help and teaching from a knowledgable man and you spent some time with your Dad that's more than cool 👍👍
Much appreciated!
Awesome Clutch setup brother! Love this channel so much🔥
Appreciate it!!
Gotta love the clasics
Thank You Ben. Thank You Gary for your efforts. This vid was super fun. Thanks Dad for cleaning parts. I too don't care if no one really gonna see it, IT GETS CLEANED! Ben when it comes time, consider a Late Model Permanent Magnet Starter. I did this with my 351 Cleveland. Works good, it's smaller and saved some weight. Just did my homework and bought it from O' Reilly's.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yo im subscribing because im getting one here in the next couple days please keep the videos up. Specially the tutorials
Great job looks good !
Thank you!
Im a little late. But good vid as usual Ben. Hopefully someday I’ll get to meet you at a cruise or something
Let’s do it
Gary deserves a donut and coffee (or a steak dinner) for all that work. Started in the sunshine, worked until dark. Thats also great you get time to spend with your dad on a project like that. The quality of your videos and audio is also improving. Enjoyable to watch Ben, interesting content!
Great guy!
man, this brings back memories when i was in my early 20s and i had major corporations not only give me free parts but also actually install the parts in their garage while i watched. seems like yesterday. well, at least the interview videos are entertaining.
Cool!
I think i heard the name GARY mentioned 500 times LOL
Gorgeous car, luv the color!
There’s nothing like working on your classic cars, trust me my brother and I have two it’s always something. Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
getting a hurst short shifter for my mustang was the best thing ive ever gotten
I’m jealous!
I learned I need a Gary!
Everyone needs a Gary haha
Aldan is a great company and Gary is the man!
Thanks for the vid Ben!
Yes they are!
The best and wonderful Mustang on YT!
Greets from Italy! 😁🇮🇹🏁
Gotta get the boys back together 🤟.
Let’s do it! Would love to shoot the stang
@@FourSpeedFilms down!!
Great video as always. You have a great friend in Gary and Aldan American!
Thanks! Great people
What a fun video. Thank you
Thanks
Keep making videos buddy! Love the content. That mustang looks gorgeous with those old school tires! Huge fan of it
Appreciate it!
i have one of these scatter shields sitting on the floor waiting to go into my '70 Mach. guess i better get off my butt and get busy. looking forward to some power shifting...
Awesome

Bro look into a “PMGR” starter.
Warped disc fingers uneven fork shaking..bearing will fail.....don't build manuals
Another great episode! Thanks for sharing. That car is really evolving!
Hi Ben how are you doing new clutch nice one great video thanks 👍🚗
Thanks!
Remflex gaskets are incredible. I've used collector gaskets like this, and various others. The best thing is you are never supposed to have to tighten them. Great video! I hope you like the new clutch.
Thanks for the info!
Young man, you make some great and informative videos! Keep up the great work! It’s great to see our youth loving these classic cars!!! 🏁👍😎
Thanks for watching!
Well done, Ben - your channel is really taking off now! I fitted a Hurst shifter on my '67 Fastback and wished I hadn't bothered - the original Ford 4 speed shifter was much better. As for the steering, I fitted an EZ-Steer electric system - it's a bit wild on the understeer, but an absolute breeze when it comes to parking the old beast! Keep up the great work and let's see more of your canyon buddies blasting their old V8s out there!!
Thanks!
Sweet, keep them coming 👍👍
Thanks!
If you're wondering about Borgeson power steering, I put their box in my 66' mustang and it was the most difficult install I have ever done. I love working on my car (I've swapped my trans, clutch, flywheel, rear end, front and rear suspension, and installed Sniper EFI) but I would never do another Borgeson box. Every part, including their z-bar needed to be modified, and it almost reduced me to tears😂. If you choose to go that route, buy tri-y headers.
Manual box it is😂
SUPER NICE UPGRADES!!!!!
Thanks!
I like the car and I watch your videos here and there. Have you taken it to the strip yet 🤔?
Check out unisteer, I have their 1st gen manual rack and pinion setup easy to turn only issue is headers but found JBA-1650S work 👍
Interesting!
Ben get a starter for a 1993 mustang with a 5.0. There a factory mini starter. You'll have to change the wires on the solenoid but otherwise it's a bolt on deal. Good video.
Cool!
You have such a cool car buddy. Do yourself a favor and look into electric power assist steering. Gary is an unbelievably awesome friend to have you're lucky dude. Also shout out to your dad. He's a great help and a great teacher love your channel. I hope to see it keep growing.
Thanks! Will do!
Borgeson makes a good power steering conversion kit I used it on my 66 mustang and it only took a few hours. It gets rid of the junk ford piston style power steering and adds a Chevy style box. You have to remove your steering column and trim it but that is in the instructions and a bunch of RUclips videos cover it. I haven’t had any issues with it in well over two years. It’s a lot cheaper and easier than a mustang II rack 😂
Thanks! Did you need to buy new headers?
@@FourSpeedFilms nah my headers were fine I have a 87 5.0 block with long tubes and it was all good. The 289 should be about the same but I’d check out some videos to see there’s plenty of them. Just incase for some reason my headers arent the same as yours. But it’s basically a replacement steering box. It uses existing hardware on the manual steering and basically makes it a power box. Which is super helpful it’s a big difference. It doesn’t feel sloppy but it’s going to definitely be a lot “looser” than manual steering because of the power boost 😂. The worst part is really reinstalling the box because the headers are there but other than that it wasn’t too bad I had it done in an afternoon. But I would def do this over a factory power steering unit as those stabilizer type steering units are known for going bad constantly.
Cool! Thanks for the tips!
@@FourSpeedFilms of course! Cj pony parts has a good video on it as well as others who have bought it. I bought mine from CJs they have a store like 2 hours from me so I got relatively fast shipping. I know some mustang and Ford fans don’t like them but I haven’t had any issues with them. And they’re just a company that sells the kit I’m sure jegs or summit sells it too. Good luck with your stang can’t wait for future vids
Beautiful car
Thanks!
@@FourSpeedFilms anytime my dude! keep up the awesome work! very proud of ye
Well done as always!!!! A few notes.........
1. You run a 66 dash.....did you change or was it like that?
2. First Gen Mustang clutch linkage is a mystery to all. So many different ways FORD did it.
3. I see model cars on the shelf behind you in the open. I started building models growing up in So Cal in the 1960's and have a collection of about 5K now and work in the biz freelance.
4, You were pretty close to my buddy of 60 years.....he's in Buena Park.
Thanks!!!
I put in the 66 dash!
Cool car
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Don't forget the speedo! Lol
Thanks haha
Sweet 🏁🤙🏼
Thanks!
My 67 had a Centerforce unit. It was the best streetable clutch I've ever had!
Noooooooooooooo, keep the manual steering! You get a lot better road feel! Lots of my friends even ditch the power brakes!
We shall see haha! I am keeping the manual brakes
Beaut…. Love it …. 😊
Thanks!
Theres gotta be a Hurst for your car. Like they used on the original GT350
Yes hurst makes a shifter for the t10 in your car
I was checking some of the serial codes and I’m not sure…so I’m nervous to get one
my dear car is the 1968 Ford Mustang fast back 2+2, or the Bullitt car, i may never get a version of it but i can in lego lol
One day!
I'd like to see the before and after driving difference of an aftermarket upper A-Arm with some built in positive caster. Most from the aftermarket arms have 3 degrees positive caster, stock is around zero. Of course you want power steering before you make that mod.
That would be cool
Those Centerforce pressure plates are a gimmick. A friend of mine with a 69 Camaro was shifting gears and the 4 speed locked up into a gear which I don’t remember which. The weights broke away and pieces were jammed in the clutch and pressure plate. Be careful at high rpm shifts, they may let go. I myself went with a Luk clutch in my 70 Z28 and don’t believe in those weights. IMO it’s BS.😂 Wow and here I thought you were doing the work yourself. 😂 Parts given to you and installed, must be nice.😮 All that work and you don’t even install a TKX 5 speed. 😂 BTW your steering wheel is not straight which would bother me.
Wow, driving around L.A. and getting spotted cuz you're now famous! 😆 Great pit crew you have too. Treat 'em to a HiHo burger maybe? (I've just been told they're good, no idea.....)
Thanks haha!
If we played a drinking game for how many times you said "then" in this video, I'd be going to the hospital for liver failure lmao
Beautiful car but bro you should consider putting in a t5 transmission from a '80s fox body mustang get you an extra gear
Maybe I can drive it now
Let’s do it
Hard burnouts are in order 😁
You got that right!
Be sure to write out your narration as it will help you catch repetitive phrases and words. I found you saying “Then this happened” and “Then that happened” a lot. The best parts were when you were telling us about why what was happening. Side note: You and Jay Leno are now the only people in LA who can get out of tickets. You’re now that famous. 😊
Thanks!
Great video as always, how did you work out which clutch to order? I have a falcon sprint and I’m stuck!
try the KRC power steering kit from MIKE MAIER INC !
That would be cool!
@@FourSpeedFilms I'm thinking of installing on mine but not sure if it will be as smooth installing on my 302 90s engine
Psst... Ben my friend. You need to line up your steering wheel LoL. Email me. I want to ask how everything went with Steve Scott and Uncertain T. I have another question to ask, but I'll save that. Tell your dad hello, and show more of Bad News... Much love my brother.
in my experience it's best to only use a Ford Performance throwout bearing. the ones that come with clutch kits just don't last and it'll be chirping like a baby bird in no time.
Hopefully I don't run into any issues, haha!
@@FourSpeedFilms I typed this at the beginning of the video like you havent already put it all together already, lol. derp. the kit bearings are certainly a problem on later model T5 transmissions, maybe with the older t10 it wont be an issue, i dunno. I hope it doesn't give you trouble too. Nice job, must feel a lot better now.
Hi Benny
❤️
Looks good man! What size tire setup are you running on your car?
Thanks! G70 and f70
Love your videos, what type of power steering are you going for? Im thinking of adding it aswell on my 67. Im leaning more towards the borgeson unit rather than a rack and pinion set-up.
Probably Borgeson! I’ll probably reach out to them soon. I’ve heard they are really good
Good job! Do you know the brand of your headers? I'm looking for headers who fit with my toploader, z bar etc.... Julien a french fan 🇫🇷
I think they are from summit racing. The previous owner put it on
Ironic! i have to change out my flywheel in my car! lol!
Perfect timing
hey Ben, i´m restoring a cammed 66 289, i can hear your clutch pedal squeaking just like mine, any tips to getting it fixed or replaced? cheers!
I was wondering the same thing😂
Have you put any thought into an electric power steering pump, like swapping in one from a Volvo?
I haven’t thought about that!
That looks like my old Mustang.
Cool
Just curious why didn't he dial indicate the new Lakewood belhousing? Ive had alignment issues on everyone I've ever installed
When I did some research it looks like it isn’t that important with old transmissions. They have a higher tolerance from being misaligned. However, modern transmissions have a very small tolerance for misalignment. We also didn’t have any extra dowel pins
This is where I found the info:
www.holley.com/blog/post/how_to_align_your_bellhousing_for_maximum_transmission_and_clutch_life/
I run a Muncie in my nova and I had issues it is a modernized one with super case. I'm impressed it shifts perfect must be the ford luck lol
Hey Ben!
I’m also building a 65, Im converting it to a 4 speed and looking for some parts. Are you interested in selling me the old bell housing?
Shoot me an email at fourspeedfilms@gmail.com
I need to look at how much it’s worth first. I believe it’s an original ford one. It’s pretty clean. My car was converted to manual so it’s not numbers matching to my car
How do you manage to keep your camera clean working on things!? I have to use a Go-Pro because I'm too scared of getting grease on my Canon R6😅
I’m the same way lol. Gary and my dad did almost everything! So I was able to capture everything
You would be much better off with a newer starter from a 5.0 mustang. All it requires is a very minor change in the wiring and your car will start so much faster and easier.
Thanks!
Gary favors Larry "Bud" Melman from the David Letterman Show.
Get Epas steering system and gear box. no fluid no power drain from engine, cleaner looking.
I asked you this question many times what are the sizes of your tires example,,15× WHAT.. somebody please reply to this question.
Does it have a clutch damper?????
* * WHAT SIZE ARE THOSE TIRES ? ? * *
✌🤙
Thanks!
Aw, parking iz haaard....
Yes!
When you let out the clutch slowly you probably hear a noise like a boat motor pressure plates are made in china.....
So far no issues!
I just found out that my mom gave away my dad's 1965 mustang to the salvation army..... She also gave away her house and bank accounts and disinherited my cousin.... As well as me her son......narcissism....... Oh well the mustang was only an automatic
Hit up Mike Maier Inc for the power steering kit.
Maybe he can sponsor the build or cut you a deal.
That would be cool!
