Surprise Engine Swap BEGINS! Ford Barra Delivery for Wife's 1965 Mustang 

As an Aussie I will not be missing a video on this build, so good to see you going this route

As an Australian, I strongly approve of this engine swap

Evan and CboysTV are the only channels I don’t get tired of!

Search up Tuff Mounts. They have engine mounts / transmissions brackets already made for these mustangs for barra swaps

Your wife going to love the Barra very reliable motor and cheap to maintain. You can get over 1 million km out of a barra before a rebuild needed

Gabby is the most adorable kid alive. Love you guys so much fun watching you guys been here since day one

Evan is helping a lot right now im struggling with really bad depression and watching his vids is helping with all the quotes he says thanks Evan

As an Aussie you won’t be disappointed with that engine And yes we do have lpg over here but it ain’t our common type of fuel… our common fuel it’s petrol and diesel

I am here for the Barra for sure. I was hoping this would happen.

Not gonna lie didn’t expect this insane engine 😂

Good on ya I cannot wait to see the build, it's good to see a humble build. I'll be watching 👍🇭🇲

Did not expect to see a Barra going in the mustang. Its cool seeing our Aussie motors get imported over, but unfortunately no AU falcons in America yet.

Oooo a Mustang restomod? Yes please! Also so stoked you choose a Barra. Been researching them a lot lately and they seem to be god tier engines :)

My god brother i daily drove a 67 coupe for 4 years and the stock 289 gave out on me. Just now getting to a financial spot to put some money in the car, and this video is very tempting. My uncle recently gave me his 66 fastback so I’m prepared to go crazy on my 67. Wanted to do a 1 of 1 5.2 voodoo swap but those motors are like 15k. It’s either save up for that or go something else unique and seeing these motors and how tunable they are is very enticing.

This is NOT the direction I thought this build was going. So hyped to see the build come to life. Love the recent content you've been genuinely making my day with each upload.

Love barra swaps... despite the harmonic balancing issues that plague putting it into anything it didnt come out of

Deamm that advice fit me right away, im in the point like I don’t know what to do or where to go or what to chase in life 😢 like stuck in the middle of nothing. Working a boring ass job making no money not enjoying what im doing now is fucdd up 🆙

You know its crazy cause you can feel the excitement in Evan's voice comes through makes me feel the excitement. I feel like this like the first Civic build, I loved that build its my second favorite build next to the Miata. I can't wait for the Mustang series to progress.

BARRA BABY WELCOME TO THE FAM EVAN

Super interested in this build. I have a 63 Ford falcon that I'm going to put a Barra in myself. The two chassis are very similar so I imagine parts and things will be the same as what I'll need.

Sick build man gonna be awesome, I’m putting a barra in my 86 svo, gonna be sick!

The advice is always great, took a leap of faith today to push myself into the direction I want to head in life Also STOKED FOR THE BUILD

Holy sh*t i guessed the engine! I said it would be cool to have a Barra turbo engine on the Mustang! Amazing hehe :D

As an aussie ide highly suggest not keeping it N/A and just send a turbo onto it

Great barra pick

I wanted to share this, because it really helped me. I ve seen somewhere on the internet post that was basicly saying: stop collecting all the knowledge and stop wondering about your problem and start actually fixing it. It came up to me again when you said start somewhere and i thought maybe there will be someone who will be in need to hear this, as i was.

Barra! Wooh!

The geezers you are talking about making mad is the very ones that you can get the most help from. These cars are simple so don't make it overly complicated. I'm not familiar with these engines but you might want to go with subframes connectors regardless of what you do. Hope it works out well for you.

you know the turbo barra is the red block stronger pistons rods hope u got the proper ecu

Great engine... My car has one.. They are like flies here in Australia...

Bro the excitement in her face is priceless.....I say later down the road make it a n.a T car not too crazy just for her to enjoy with those nice spooly noises

Imagine the swap with a Roadster Shop Chassis upgrade, can't wait to see it running tho, hard between this and Devins FK8

I’ve been waiting a lot of years for you to hit 1 million subs

May be a jeep that i got but 4.0 i6 is an amazing setup lots of reliable fun

Looking forward to seeing more work done on this. Its going to be wild

Look into doing a mustang 2 front end, cheap and a great route. Get rid of the leaf spring suspension in the rear if you can.

God this is exactly what I want to do with my 65. Been looking into it for almost 10 years and have had paralysis by analysis.

Okay not a bad swap fab would be awesome to watch ❤

Ahhh heck yah another barra I have a 68 mustang that I want to do the same too. Get it!!!! awesome videos btw.

Evan I’m from Australia so trust me get pacemaker extractors trust me it will make it sound so good when it’s running

A nice T56 maybe magnum nice little 500 or 600 hp build since it’s for Victoria I can’t wait to see this! Ford 9 inch and alittle more low maybe some QA1 suspension stuff dope

Wait this is sick, keeping the in-line 6 “heritage” while also being a ford motor. Not to mention the barra sounds insane

Patiently waiting for the update 🥲

Another Aussie here, big thumbs up.

Pumped for this build. Let’s go!

This next to adam lz's gt350 would be sick

Soon as you said "straight 6" I KNEEEEW it! omg so happy to see this build goin!!

I loved the daily advice, thanks

Gabby's "ooo an engine" needs to be a meme

Great advice.!😊👍🏻 Gotta start somewhere.🙌🏻 Thank you for advice. 🙏🏻

Dominater motor sports in Australia maybe able to help you out on engine stuff; plazmaman for intercooler ,piping ,and plenum,,Walbro fuel pump ,standard fuel rail is fine,wouldn’t bother changing it,if you put a turbo on,it’s going to depend on how much power you gunna want at the rear tyres ,valve springs only be good for maybe 12 pound at best,over 14 pound head studs needed,and oil pump gears needed,probably best to do timing chain and guides,pity you could do rods and turbo pistons,Haltec computer to run it,though the standard turbo computer is good for 700 hp usually

Gray top….N/A stock, capable 450whp stock internals. Also change oil pump gears(weak point on all Barra). Can find GM trans adapters still, maybe not that company…but another company

This is going to be a crazy build

Subbed for the build. Just an fyi, taxis in Australia made the gas barra popular as it was cheaper to run, they're also very popular with engine swaps as the gas barra came with beefier internals and higher compression so with a handful of mods you could make decent power without destroying the bottom end, and they're not hard to convert back to petrol. They were also cheaper then the Turbo Barra engines.

i am so happy to see this build i wanted to do the same swap in my 1966 mustang i had everything ready to do the swap suspension was converted to 4link en coilovers but for medical cost i had to sell it so i am stoked to see it done

You can get ford either t56 or tr6060 out of the falcons just rare as so good you got the adapter

I knew it!!!! I had replied to one of your fb stories asking if you were going to do a Barra swap on her mustang.. hell yeah hopefully I get to see it in person when it's done at a local car meet in the DFW

You had my curiosity, now you have my attention 🤣🤣

Look into QA1 suspension

NA they actually make decent power and torque due to long stroke. Thats also a grey top so factory NA and internals not as good as the turbo red top. Compression will be higher so be careful if turbocharging. Following with interest!

that adapter is fabbot, I'm pretty sure they would have done it for you if necessary, they are still in business, Rudnik has a collab with them.

The swap I've been WANTING FOR🔥😤😤

Gabby is 100% gonna be a car girl haha; so adorable

Evan, adam, and anyone else who imported a barra to the us has single handedly doubled the cost of barras for the aus market

Thanks Evan really needed to hear that advice

Thanks for saying Aussie the right way

Castlemaine Rod Shop does all the conversion kits in Australia Victoria

the early single cam pre au is just called a sohc but the au motor is an intech

Def gonna follow this build, I wanna put a Barra in mine too.

Barra the wrold

Okay okay I see you 😮 good choice to put a Barra in the classic Ford this will be fire 🔥

Really need to look into QA1 for rear and front suspension conversions. It will completely modernize the suspension side of the car

Much love from nz this one is fire my guys

YOOO BARRA

Being a silver top, you wont make decent power without rods and pistons, you can get a bit but you NEED valve springs at least. And e85

Looking forward to this build but do your research before you turbo or nos a na barra . The mustang and early Aussie falcons are a similar platform, maybe some pointers there.

oil pump and oil pump gears are a must change

do a ford 8.8 rear end swap to help modernize it a bit plus till help hold a bit of power!!

Please do some proper modern suspension and a big brake kit. Your wife would appreciate the comfort and safety of a modern suspension kit for these cars. Just for safety This is coming from some who daily drives a classic car myself. People are crazy on these roads and you won’t regret the purchase

Look in to the maier racing leaf springs brotha! I wish I went that way instead of my ridetech 4 link. You can do a mini tub kit to and squeeze a little more rubber in the rear with the stock body or have a little fun and widebody her lol. A ford 8.8 off an explorer would be awesome to you just need to narrow one side but you could get one with 4:10 gears and lsd from the junkers

Knowing Evan I thought for sure he was going to go crazy and just coyote swap it lol

this and adam’s barra mustang gotta meet when it’s done

when you accidentally said ‘japan’ i frantically searched your backlog for japan adventures, i would watch the shit out of Evan in japan!

Do what tj did and get the different frame with more modern suspension

Most of those geezers are swapping coyotes in. 🎉

That thing could’ve been a monster with a 5.0 yote in it.

Put a Plasmaman Front Facing Intake. Adam LZ got the plug

I was waiting for this i knew it was coming but didnt wanna sound absolutely dumb for saying it lmao

Would recommend dry ice blast the underside of the '65.

Sick seeing an Aussie engine in America and glad you pronounce Barra correctly 😂✊

Imagine if Ecoboosts came with Barras instead of 4 bangers

Just do a factory xr6 turbo set up stock engine 300hp

Hey Even I think if you looked into Toms 65 mustang from Toms Referb Channel you could get some cool ideas hes got custom shifter and Hydrolic clitch setup thats really cool would suit your build

I KNEW IT I PREDICTED IT ON THE POLL ON INSTA AGES AGO

Evan is putting a Barra in his wife's 1965 mustang and at the same time rob Dahm is putting a redeye engine in his gfs 1978 challenger

I think theres a good explorer/expedition rear end tht a lot of ppl like to throw in sports cars

Hahahaha, called it! 😄

Gotta love seeing a new video! Glad the contents been rolling Evan, God bless!

I want to put a cosworth YBT T engine in a lotus Exige

Evan make it a Turbo barra
