I am just a couple minutes into the video. I paused it to write this: If you can turn those neglected rust buckets into something resembling their previous beauty...I will be greatly impressed! By the way, at 63, recently retired office worker. I am trying to learn as much as I can about restoring beautiful cars. It's depressing knowing I will not live long enough to do anything close to what I am sure you can do, but it's very enjoyable to tinker on my project car 😊.
im 27 and have restored a 79 Transam, i learned how to do proper paintjobs and learned bodywork, last summer, also i learned how to build engines a while back, doesnt matter your age, what id suggest is go hangout at local cruise nights and make soem friends and connections, you never know what you can find someone you make friends with could be willing to help you and show you how to do things, your age or younger, all the best
Watching you guys tinker,baby,beg,cajole,plead that engine to life remninds me of me and my dad. I was about 9yrs old,Dad dragged me out to field in the dead of winter (rural maine is bitterly cold) In the field were some ford trucks and cars..old..Dad was a Ford guy and needed an engine for his 62 F100 work truck..no money,no more spare engines in storage. Some guy told my dad if he could get an engine running in those junkers that he could have them. We spent 8 days in that field getting 3 '312 Y blocks going and 3 292 Y blocks going...that old farmer told my dad he could keep them all except a 312 which the farmer wanted for his 56 Tbird. Its great watching you guys
I'm glad I got mine finished finally since purchasing the abandoned vehicle in a grass field back in 2003 and completing it in 2012. 65 Fastback 289. Just love it still all fresh and a quick pony.
Wow, i am happy i came across your channel. Shame you are not closer. My 68 road runner needs attention. My MS prevents me from wrenching much anymore. Hard to find mechanics who understand the old hotrods
A fellow Lefty, Southpaw that is, and now I know ordering parts ahead of time is bad luck ! I've done that for my motorcycles and scooters and end up wasting money and having spare parts laying around that I may never use. I'll remember that. I still hav e an hour to go, you guys just unlocked the motor, so now to see what happens next. BTW, Those Prime Welders look AWESOME and the prices are amazing. I see why you love it. I know how to solder well, but never welded and don't need one, but it would be cool to have around for broken wheelbarrow, etc.
289 has 3 bolts on the crank pulley. 302 has 4 bolts on the crank pulley. You can put 302 heads on a 289. So head stamps may be misleading. Best way to know without pulling the starter, is checking the bolts on the crank pulley.
Yeah, if that's a 302, it's not original to that car or the heads were swapped, but later he did say it was a 70's engine, so there we have it. A big giveaway for that to me is it has a 2100 D 2bbl carb (note the big pump on the backside top of the carb). The 2100D was used in the 70's for thermactor emissions cars. My 74 Maverick Grabber had one when I got it. I swapped it for a standard 2100.
@@bad74maverick1 it was also common pratice to have ppl go to salvage yards and take top end off of other cars with 302, and swap them out. till we know if the crank pully has 3 or 4 bolts we really dont know.
@@bad74maverick1 I was thinking they only said that casue the carb was from a 74 , But something they said about the number plate being missing from the intakemainfold lead me to believe that someone removed the Heads , intake, and Crab from a 74. Just what I was thinking and could be worng right.
Might sound crazy but that is the exact style I want. I've literally passed on fastback because they looked too nice, lol. Make it solid, leave the scars, and have a drive train that will go a 100k miles.
When I saw the name Iron City Garage, I knew I was going to subscribe. I live in Pittsburgh so seeing you guys here is awesome! Looking forward to more great content. Plus I’m a sucker for Mustangs.
Always liked the body style of the'67' stang fastback,sleek and futuristic ,made even more famous with the movie "Bullit" with Steve McQueen. Had a chance to buy one with straight 6 in the mid 70's for $400. That needed a paint job and some TLC,decent body, another time I had my head up my a$$ and let it slip out of my hands.
It is such a great idea and concept of which someone else has already been doing . No matter what or how you try and spin it ... What happened to coming up with your own ideas... I guess it becomes to much to do or work ... Thats like showing up to a costume party but someone else has already there dressed up as fonzy...
A great car (to start and when finished, some of that late middle ground not so much)..... My stepson inherited a VERY NICE one when he was 12, his grandma passed and her car she'd rebuilt herself was willed to him. He's kicking himself tho. While in the Marines, doing the recon sniper scout training, he got a fixation with bullet bikes and SWAPPED it for a Hayabusa or some other such stupid thing. He got deployed, it got stolen, he got a light check....... Now he'd give his left testicle to have his car back. Wisdom comes with age, huh?
The way the valve train looked and the lack of oil inside valve covers it looked like it was rebuilt just before parked. Nickname this one Crunchy as it let out some crunch noises when letting it down off that jack.
MY REGARDS TO ALL OF YOU ,I LOVE YOUR VÍDEOS. 302 OR 289 MUSTANG. I LIKE 351 ENGINE FORD .I HAVE A TRANS AM IT'S FIRE BIRD 1972. HAVE NICE DAYS.ALWAYS.FROM GUATEMALA AMÉRICA CENTRAL SOY MANUEL.
The engine code is on the passenger side on the block. The Vin number will tell you what engine it suppose to come in it. 5 lugs are always v8, while 4 lugs are straight 6.
it was very common to put 302 heads in a 289 block and they were a Direct bolt on. Seeing how the care has Headers this is something they could have done to get a little more HP and TQ out of the engine. YOu can even usse the Org intake mainfold. But what I am guessing her is that they went to a Junk yard and found a 74 302 and took the top end. Agine very common practice
Is both 289 cars? The 4 speed in there is usually the wide ratio. 2.74 low. I get lucky with my 68, a 289 2V, with a 4 v swap and a 351C cobra Jet 4 speed close ratio with the 2.32 low and with the 8 inch 2.79 rear. It could do 100 mph in low, lol. I put it in a 428 CJ car a roller cam Super Stock, I dog ringed it and man that trans was tough, straight cut gears and dog rings in a 1969. A John Wick Black beauty!
I work for a few years with his people in Lancaster call alter bandits and I was trying to explain to him but we could save all the cars but they just rather junk them instead

Te felicito siempre pa' delante señor!
I wish you good health, and I hope you don't think like that. Let's start now by doing the things we love.
Why not, I have started with waaaay less and waaaay worse.
"From rust to shine, this process was nothing short of magical! Thank you for sharing! 🌟🚙"
I want to say thanks to you and all those like you who keep these classics from the crusher…..or rusting back in to earth.
Congratulations on getting it running. I agree. 2 hour videos are a lot. Thank you for sharing!
💯👊👍💕
Born to hang out with a bunch of old yinzers working on reviving a classic mustang, forced to work a corporate gig in dahntahn Pixburgh. Great video!
All of us yinzers will go down to the crick and drink a pop 😂

good old days hope this lifestyle does not die, we have to keep it alive
I love the slots in rhe back )))))
Cool deal!!!! Someone will definitely have a builder for sure.
Off to a good start! Looking forward to more fastback action. Thanks! 😎👍🏎🐎🏁🏁
Really cool seeing Shane jump in there and start wrenching on cars

Sure hate to see them in this condition, but so so glad guys like you try to save them.
A 2 Hour Vid sounds good to me! Great Channel!
Enjoyed this video 👍🏻
Keep up the good work have a blessed day be safe
This show makes me want to put my mustang in a shop it's been in my garage for 9 years
Wow, i am happy i came across your channel.
Shame you are not closer. My 68 road runner needs attention. My MS prevents me from wrenching much anymore. Hard to find mechanics who understand the old hotrods
As soon as I saw that EGR valve I knew it was at least a 1972-73 engine but then you said D4 block which is 1974 like you said. Love this content!

As someone who restored a 69 mustang grande that was in much better condition . Good luck and deep pockets are all thats needed ....
Great, thanks.
They must be in love with it
nice car god job man,,
Damn! If I had known about these old ponies in West by god Virginia I would have driven my happy a$$ from Virginia to snag these up! Good finds!
It sounds good.
Rough shape goodluck!
in 1967 ford did issue a special on the 302 engine for the fast backs also stock on the 68 fastbacks
Later model heads, positive stop rocker arms from the 70s, btw 302s came in 68.
You hardly find carburetor anymore instead fuel injector good job guys
Loves mustangs would love to find one

Yes it's a 302 and original carb and spacer 260, 289, 302, 351 W are all stamped on the head under the valve cover
Veri nice ❤
Late model water pump and radiator post 69 kinda goes along with that 74 theme and 2150 motorcraft carb.
Very Good

302. are really good strong engine......351 Cleveland....
De krachtige Fords mustang"s van de gouden golden tijds jaren, de vroegere icoons jaren van plezier en happens in die america tijds jaren!!
I don't know on '67 and '68, but until '66 VIN number is stamped on right side too, closer to the windshield
That is rough man
Hoping that one day someone will combine a trashed out Mustang with a trashed out Cougar and make a Mercury Cougar fastback.
A contributer to Uncle Tony's Garage named Kiwi is doing that I think .
There's a door tag with numbers that should match the inner fender I have a fastback so I know
De power super dreams cars voor collectie of voor Groote shows cars!!!
The Build sheets on those were randomly placed. Under the bottom of the seats, inside the back rest,
my 66 gt had it under the headliner

I would love to have her!
Stick something in the carburetor open up the butterfly you get more compression
De grootste Nicolas gates acteur van de movies gone in zestig seconds!!!
You know that old timer got that old man strength 😂
'67 is to me THE mustang.
old fords never die,there just resting!!!!!if that was gm junk,you would here the lifters and rods knocking loud!!!lol
it was very common to put 302 heads in a 289 block and they were a Direct bolt on.

But what I am guessing her is that they went to a Junk yard and found a 74 302 and took the top end. Agine very common practice
Fast back Slow front 😊
It honestly hurts seeing these beautiful machines in the beginning stages of how they were 😥
Nice job guys!!
New viewer and subscriber here.👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
That 302 is better than the 289 I used to have a 302 in my 67 coupe. It would rip.
😂 I went to school for framing collision in I ended up working on replacing quarter panels of rusty cars and restoring old cars instead
VIN tag in the car, not in a pre 68. I've had 350 + Mustangs, maybe found 3 build sheets.
Pretty much anything will run as long as the engine is not locked up the question is whether it is worth the trouble or not.
SaveAllFastbacks !
I wanted to see the rest of the restoration
My dream car😢😢😢
289 with 302 Heads!

You can automatically see the carburetor when he lifts the pan.
At what point ........... must be the final $$$ I like the 57 on the lift

A friend restored 67 like this. 2006 interior and Shelby GT350 corvette suspension and all new exterior panels. Good luck
Why Corvette suspension?
Hermoso 🤩🤩🤩
Did anyone mention why it has an egr valve?
The the throttle blades have to be open to get compression. I d pull the carb off.

I'd pull that motor and completely rebuild it. It has seal problems plugs fouled out.
