My lord, what a thing of beauty. I had bought a 68 fastback new back in the day, buy Sept of 69 i sold it. I joind the Army( 1st Infty Div.) Oct of 69, and a few weeks later off to Vietnam i went. I sold it thinking i wasnt coming home. Needless to say i wish i would have kept it.
Correct, this is not an FE, but as the intake says, it is a 9.2 deck (351C deck height) with Windsor heads. The super victor 9.2 is special made by Edelbrock for this configuration.
Small block Windsor, not an FE big block. Beautiful car though!! Just two suggestions here...you should install rim screws on the rears to keep the wheel from moving (rotating) inside the tire, and a good quality engine diaper!
Definitely a stoked 351W. FE engines are quite different. Besides the 351W intake manifold. FE intakes are part of the valve cover surface. Much wider and very unique.
Hood and Scoop are pretty unique, never saw one done like that . My first car was a 68 Mustang, wasn't a fastback though. Always hated the steering wheel. Probably could have tolerated it more if mine ran 10s and did wheelies . Nice Car and another cool video ...keep em coming !!!
Beautiful Mustang nice.to see your running.a FE I had a 67 with a 390 4 speed back in early 70s I've got 68 now s code car but has a 428cj in it it is an old.drag car from back in the 70s.and 80s thank you.for showing your mustang
I'm not knocking the car, it's an awesome ride and may have had an FE in it at one time but that's no FE in the car in the video. It's a 385 series big block (429-460). A 390 would be an FE.
@@imdoomsayer1 I hear ya, unfortunately I couldn't get a hold of the owner to get specifics on the engine just going by what I recorded as he spoke about car being a 398ci . I figured it was a 390 bored 8 over perhaps my bad lol
@@imdoomsayer1 The intake manifold CLEARLY says 351W and Super Victor. That manifold will not bolt on to an FE engine. A 390 is an FE engine. They make adapter plates to put a 351 Cleveland intake on an FE but now a W windsor intake.
No its a 390 from what the owner told me. NOTE...Went back to listen to the audio which was taken in the pits with lots of noise and he says 398. I thought he said 390,398. It was hard to decipher with all the noise and had to asked him twice. My mistake sorry for the confusion.
@@RACEYOURRIDE You wouldn't know a Ford FE motor if one fell on you. That is a 351W that maybe has a stroker kit in it. The intake says 351W on it! I could go into all kinds of details on how to identify an FE design engine, but all that would be WAY over your head. You might want to talk with someone that isn't the liar that talked to you about this car.
@@davidkeeton6716 Dude chill out. Yes, I don't know much about engines nor do I try to act like I do. I get as much info as I can from the owners in the short time I have as they are usually getting ready to race. I even tried to get a hold of the owner months later but had no luck. He's a great guy and not a liar. He told me it was 398ci and I assumed it was a 390... MY BAD!
@@davidkeeton6716 - I bet you wouldn’t take so rudely to your own dog. Just because no one sees you doesn’t give you license to act like an asshole. Unless of course you are and are just being yourself.
@@1jzAll A lot of people ask the same question. To the eye it does. There has been a study and elevations show the 1/4 mile is perfectly flat. I heard you can check it through google earth.
Windsor short blocks are actually more stout than the Cleveland and they have priority main (crank bearings) oiling which the Cleveland does not have. The only thing special about the Clevelands were the canted valve heads. A good set of modern aftermarket Windsor heads will flow as much or more than a Cleveland.
@@danmyers9372 Alot of the Cleveland oiling problems are nothing but a myth anything of short of pro stock racing is not a problem just like most any other motor. I have turned quite a few of them 7500 many times with no issues no bearing etc failures it's all BS. There's always been alot of bad stuff said about the Cleveland and it's only to promote the selling of the Windsor parts since the Cleveland stuff is getting scarce. I hung around MR Glidden enough and learned alot of important info about the Cleveland and the lies that are told. Don't get me wrong ive had my share of Windsors and yes it's is a very good motor for a normal everyday car but for performance applications it just doesn't Have it unless you spend a butt load of money on it. Now a Windsor with Closed chamber Cleveland heads is great. I'm not knocking the windsors I'm just saying they aren't for me.
This is not an FE motor. This is a 302 ford. So this whole video is smoke and mirrors. Just shows how many people have no clue what they are looking at and how little they actually know.
That was my mistake as I assumed it was but pretty sure the owner told me it was a big block. I tried in vain to get ahold of him before I ever did the video. To say the whole video is smoke and mirrors is bs.
