Couldn’t have said it better. 289, with its short stroke and small mains; a great competition motor.

If you look at Jay Leno's garage when he had an early 60's "Lola" on, it had a 260ci and you won't believe the sound when the owner started it up. It sounds like a built big block. Supposedly it could hit 200 on the straits and was the inspiration for the GT40. I like chevy but there is nothing wrong with those small block Fords!

There was also a 351 ci Windsor engine. I'm not talking Cleveland block.

Had a 67 Galaxy 2 door with a 289 3 on the tree back in 86. I was 16. It was indestructible. I showed it no mercy. I wouldn't have traded it for a Ferrari. I miss it.

Ya had a 289 from a 65 comet that I put into my 70 maverick! Was such a fun car and great motor !

Thumbs UP at 10:20

I had a 66 mustang and a 67 Mustang GT and both had HP 289's. I used to embarrass the big block cars with them. This was back in the sixties and even though i have owned about every musclecar you could think of... two Dodge Vipers, seven Chevelle SS Cars, a Buick Grand sport with the HP 455 Stage one engines and over a hundred more, but when i think of the quickest cars i have owned, i always include those little 289 Mustangs. BTW..love the shirt!

It is doubtful german submarine diesels were designed by nazi sympathizerHenry Ford, whose 289 v8 probably had nothing to do with Nazi destruction of enemy radio towers unless Henry Ford directed the submarine commander to fire up the 289 v8 diesel assist starter motor. ??????

The 289 K-code Hi-Po is an International World Champion.

My dad had a 66 comet with the hypo. That thing was smoking fast.

Love my little 289 in my 66 mustang

Love the T shirt. FJB! Great documentary

In the 80’s I had a 1968 mustang drag car in Ontario Canada. I had 8 different motors in the car when I blew an engine l would go back to my original 289 to keep the car on the track and qualifying. My tow car was a 1969 Mach 1 428 CJ 4 spd I would trailer the drag car to Cayuga “ Mustang. Towing a Mustang. Quite the fan favorite I met a guy sponsored by Ford Motorsports. That had. 302 Tunnel port motor that was in the crate. He told me he would trade me my tow car for the motor. It was hard to give up the Cobra Jet. I agreed. The 2x4 Tunnel port motor was a “Crazy Fast Motor . Once I bolted the Doug Nash 4+1 and the 6:20 in the 9 inch Drag car was a 10 second car all day. Absolutely love the small block fords the TP would easily buzz to 9000.

Beautiful little engine really snappy just leave it stock and drive it hard they loved it.

Do you know how they advertised it when it 1st came out 100 000 miles at 100mph.

In the mid 70's, i bought a white,'67 Fairlane factory 427,dual 652 Holleys w/ 4 speed. The guy told me it came w/tunnel port heads,but another guy wanted them really bad. He bought him 2 brand new complete, medium riser heads,dual 4's,652 Holleys. That was the setup that I got. I remember it had long track bars,they were welded to the rear-end housing & bolted under the front bench sear. I don't know if this was a factory setup or not. It had 5.67 gears & the optional fiberglass hood for '67.

I bought a '65 fastback, 289 hi-po,4 speed w/ 4.57 posi. in very early '70's. A good friend built the engine. It had headers,a Crower solid lift cam,w/ 320 degree duration & .538 lift. Edelbrock intake & a 600 Holley. The battery was relocated to the right rear of the trunk. 90/10 front shocks / 50/50 rears. No traction bars,just a pinion snubber mounted to the top of the 9" rear-end. Never had wheel hop,even though the car was launched at 7,000 on 7" cheater slicks. At the 1/8 mile strip,it ran 8.30 et, but they didn't give the mph. This was my daily driver/ racer. I had more fun with that car, than any car I ever owned! I owned a few cars back then, including a '67 Fairlane,factory drag car that couldn't be licensed for the street. A '69 Cyclone w/ a 428CJ w/ram air,along w/ a few others. I'm 71 now,haven't done any racing since the 80's. I've been a Ford fan for 55 years & will be,until my time is done. Fast Fords Forever!💙

Ford junk 😂😂😂😂

My first car, a Ford custom 500 with a 289. I sold it for $50, it had 120,000 miles on it. I was very inexperienced and didn’t know about the timing chain being stretched. It never left me on the side of the road.

Ford also dominated races across Africa with 289 powered cars.

Well bro very entertaining I got to admit I do love my Mopars and my my old Fords

I want to build one that hits super high rpm. could you tell me what’s the highest you’ve seen in a 289 ?

I love the 289 and it definitely deserves more love than it gets.

The red one ?

What type of car is next to you? 1965 Falcon or Comet?

Now I know why my dad loved this motor so much, that was always his go to power plant, I miss him and all the old cars we had

The cobra was a british car originally called AC BRISTOL

I've a got a 62 mercury meteor with the original 221 and only 33,000 original miles. It's a great motor and sounds great

How did it work? Did it fit OK on the heads? On Summit they are showing pictures of this intake not fitting correctly.

Nice shirt. The video was good too.

I was actively involved in Drag Racing in the mid 1960's. The prepped Fords generally beat Chevy. However on the street and in the pure stock class Chevy almost always was quicker. That said the two best mass production Ford engines were the 289 Hi Po and the 427FE. Ford made the mistake of pushing the 390 on the performance market and as a result MOPAR and GM ruled the early Muscle Car classes. I saw 390's lose so many times you couldn't give me a 390.

In 1971, I was 6. My Dad had a blue Ford Station wagon with this little 289... Shift was on the steering column..... We were doing 110 on the side roads... No seat belts .. I remember saying, "Dad, do you always go this Fast?"

Dont forget that in69 season petty hailed a ford flag what i wouldnt give to check out that boss engine in mr. Richard pettys old 69 Torino taledeggea

What crap! FDT.

Why wouldn't you use a roller cam instead of a flat tappet? I had a built 289 Mustang, and the roller cam 5.0 shocked me with it's performance.

And it had nothing to the Studebaker 289 that powered the fastest production car in the world at the time, the Avanti.

Can't beat a 289 for Ford,but I love my 327's.

I would like to buy one if possible

That small V8 incredible

Wow I'm really impressed we used to have a 64 Ford falcon spirit and had the 289 in it with the four-speed that little car was awesome I love that car

Intersting and well presented episode. However, I’m pretty sure the original Le Mans design was with the 289 but the bigwigs said the 427 is our flagship engine and insisted (to the engineers dismay) that they use the 427 for Le Mans. Check it please

When I was 18 friend an I took 4cyl,out of my 85 mustang put 289 in it,fun car,drove school hood off,engine painted,yellow plug wires

Love 289 ! Great motor !

Had a 64 Mercury comet R code 289 4 speed. It was really a surprise how much power it had. Im a GM fan but that car was awesome

Wasn't there a tunnel port 302 in the Mustang?
