289ci '66 Mustang. 750 Holley, Victor Jnr intake, cast heads and Solid roller camshaft. Car hasn't ran for 5+ years, a bit of a shakedown run and tune. Sweet, sweet, side pipe music.🏁
I owned a 66 Fastback Mustang with a nicely worked 289 in the early 2000's - a lot of fun. It broke my heart when I learned that wind tunnel research discovered the car was more aerodynamic in reverse than going forward, LOL.
As great as the Coyote is with all of its variable cam timing tech, the designers really missed the mark on the noise. The 289s just sound right, great vid!
You’re right, as the owner of a Coyote these 289-302 engines sound way better. I think it’s due to the different firing order that the Coyote shares with the flathead Ford.
Excuse me sir. Did you know that the 5.0 coyote is the 302 but completely redesigned? Back in the 80s the 302 CI name was changed to 5.0 L because of the metric system. Later on in the 90s or early 2000s I think was when it was face lifted and given overhead cams increasing its power at high rpm.

I never had a 289 or 260. But I did have a 221 Windsor V8 in a 1963 Fairlane 500. It looked like a 260/289/302. It had a mighty 145 horsepower. LOL. I have had several 302's. All of them sound terrific under full throttle.
I knew they had a 221 In the Windsor family, but I've never seen or heard one in the Wild! We never got them here in Australia, or the 260ci for that matter. I'll bet they would make a very sweet revving little mill with the right tweaks. Cheers.

That is one more sweet sweet running 289. Just wonderful to hear!! Just curious if your running stock rods with ARP bolts or what you're bottom end setup is? Thank you so much for posting.
G'day mate, this one is built to run competitively and features a forged bottom end. It also has a dry sump oiling system just for added reliability in circuit racing. Plenty of 289's can make those rpm's with factory worked over parts for less money. When it comes to continually hitting those rpm's all day, the better gear is justified and pays for itself in the long run. Cheers.

Spank that limiter baby!!! Sounds glorious. I'm deciding on an engine combo for a streetable Mk1 GT40 and a built 289 with around 400hp would be a nice unit for the job me thinks. Everyone punches them out to 427 etc and nudges 600hp, which is way too much for a street application that I fully intend to use on an almost daily basis.
Yeah, here in Australia, anything that's a smallblock that isn't a Cleveland is called a Windsor. We had 302 Cleveland's here which muddied the waters a bit. We built our Cleveland's in Geelong but we didn't change the name to that. Cheers.

@@dennisyoung4631 = Run it next to a comparable 283 or 327 Chevy and the Ford's distinctive, high revving sound will stand out big time!

@ThePerpetualStudent Cheers, just a well put together 289. It could make better power with a good set of heads, but it's under class rules, so it runs what it runs.👍
Cheers, the Car had a different sized slick with a lower sidewall than it normally runs here. It geared the car down enough to cause this on the back straight, it was fine with the other rubber. This was just a shakedown from a long time with no use in storage, it needs another video doing now I think.👍
Nothing Ford has today can compare with the 289 271 hp keep on Dreamin Ford Coyote and with the Boss 429 all the Coyote would see is 6 taillights Period!!!!!!!!
Even the mighty Predator? The only thing Ford has that can keep up with the Predator even remotely is the 427 SOHC, which is vastly more powerful than any other stock American V8 that came out of the 60s. Built? That Predator can handle 2500 all day on stock block (with sleeves), stock crank, and OEM heads. The sky is the limit for the Coyote platform.
Equal length headers into 3" X Pipe, and then twin 3" exits near the back wheels. An enlarged oval exit at the tips finish it off. A real cracker on this engine. Cheers.
Do you have a rev limiter on that thing? Recently bought a notchback with a carb'd 302, which is my first car with a carb. Anyway, no rev limiter, so it's a bit nerve racking.
Yeah, this has an adjustable spark cut. It was set at 7600 in this clip.They're a wise investment in your future happiness, especially with a roller cam.👍
Yes, class rules. This was it's first run for years, slicks with 50 series walls compared to the 60's it had previously ran, made it too short in top gear for the day. Cheers.
4 into 1 headers and twin 3" pipes with an X pipe crossover. The exhaust exits both sides of the car out of megaphone style exhaust tips (Think of a funnel squeezed into an oval) Cheers.
@@nitronixus9402 Yes, they're long tubes. The combination of an aggressive solid roller cam and good compression make these old pushrod Ford V8's sound like a Wild animal. Cheers.
This one was set up for historic racing and features a Ford SVO block, H beams, forged crank and pistons. When you're circuit racing, the good bits pay for themselves long term. It's got a solid roller, cast heads and a single plane with a 750 mechanical secondaries up top. You could build a well machined and balanced stock 289 with forged pistons that would hang together OK at this rpm, but holding things flat for long periods on the circuit tends to be pretty hard on standard gear. Cheers.
This might be the best sounding V8 ive heard on CZcams

Im trying to build a high reving 289 like this for my foxbody, what did your build list look like, bottom end wise?
This one was set up for historic racing and features a Ford SVO block, H beams, forged crank and pistons. When you're circuit racing, the good bits pay for themselves long term. It's got a solid roller, cast heads and a single plane with a 750 mechanical secondaries up top. You could build a well machined and balanced stock 289 with forged pistons that would hang together OK at this rpm, but holding things flat for long periods on the circuit tends to be pretty hard on standard gear. Cheers.
@@Mr357Clevelandstill a 289 displacement or bored over a bit?
@@Tylernunz yeah, 289 cubes. Class rules here.👍

Toploader 4 speed only in this class. T56 would be good!
Symonds Plains
Yep, Symmons plains 👍
Ok how did you make it sound like this?
High compression, solid roller camshaft and twin 3" sidepipes.👍
