@@Thecraig909 I really liked it! Nothing like high compression, cammed up crisp engine. My 289s and my 390s both had that same cackle and quickness. My FE really was an adolescent 427. It made every head turn in the school parking lot. Why Ford wouldn’t do it I’ll never know. Mine was like that 289, but at 4500 when other engines were turning down, mine was just getting it up and pounding! I miss those days! I’m blind now and can’t drive. My Blue 65 Galaxie with a 390 that makes 509 hp at 6800 is sitting out there in the driveway. Everyone refuses to have anything to do with it. My son even cut the wiring out so I wouldn’t try to drive it into an Oak tree. That’s life. We built it from the ground up together, but my lust for power is its undoing. He’s in his 40 s and more responsible than me. It is truly a disabled car.

I could float the gears from driving a big truck. I tried to teach her, but it is a feel thing. My top loader was from a 71 Cougaerc351C 4V and it was was tough. The rear was the main problem. The 8, is a fairly good rear. I had a left axle come out too. I had 9,s or Dana 60s in my FE Mustangs. Nothing like that crackle of high compression and big solid or a roller cam.

I built a 12;1 390 at .030 over ( 396ci) way back in 1976 in a 67 Mustang fastback with a similar 3 inch exhaust just straight out in front of the wheels and a big solid cam that sounded like a Super Stock and it was really sweet at 7200, 4 speed and it was crazy. Nothing is like a high compression, high revving open exhaust that exited at at the rear wheels. That little 289 brought back so much, the crispy snarl of my 396 FE would make people flinch. And I never got caught by any cop car, ever and I took a lot of lunch money with a MR 2x4 intake, no hood and a pair of 427 carbs. I got married and my wife only rode in it once, it could hit 7500, but 7200 was where I shifted it. 2 disc clutch, scattershield. It sounded like a small block but oh man I wish I still had it. It was so spooky! You guys have done FEs, this way an adolescent 427, lol. Great 289! And the 302 in the Effie is bad ass too. We are all Ford guys and the recipe is the secret. ARP hardware.

Even though I ain’t that old (15) and I don’t have any actual physical experience with cars, every older ford v8, nothing sounds like them, no matter what you say, pretty much nothing sounds better than a ford small block, and ain’t nothing scarier than a ford big block. It’s funny that my grandpa and great grandpa are ford guys, and they have nothing to do with why I fell in love with cars, just also happens to be that they are well known, and technically famous in the drag world, it’s funny that if I went to a really popular drag event, and mentioned the name, someone would probably know who. And the more I realize it, I still have a really really solid chance to get into a world I wish I was a part of, my great grandpa is Bob Motz. I wish I could have the experiences you and others have had, and enjoy them for myself.

The rear end did not break, they just forgot to install the axle shaft/ wheel bearing retaining plates. If you look closely, the bearing is pressed on the axle shaft and the brake backing plate is secured with the nuts to the rear end axle housing with the T-bolts. That's not bad luck!!! I am sure Quick Performance will want that to be completely clear since this incident make their brand look really bad.

@@Tanner731 You might want to replace the vacuum rubber lines,especially the rubber ones to the transmission modulator, and maybe shoot just a spritz of PB Blaster under the th 8 sided piece that the points rub on, try not to get it on that points cam but try to hit the advance under the plate and move the rotor back and forward and get freest feel you can from the centrifugal advance. Yo might have to to go under each lobe on the points cam to loosen it up. And that rubber line to the vacuum advance Id replace it too. They crack over time. The stalling might get better and it might be a good idea to get the transmission serviced. Take it to a place that knows Fords. As a test ask them what fluid does it need? I the anything but Type A or F go somewhere else. It could just be low or had the wrong fluid topping it off. No Decron, Macon, or Hardon ( ok I made that one up) will work.

Sounds good! If you have the time build another similar system using an H Pipe to show the difference in sound. Personally I like the old school H pipe sound and in most cases a X pipe makes the same or less power. X pipe placement is critical to see power gains. I say pick your sound and run with it. Oh you could use larger outlet piping on the straight through system for a deeper sound. Just crush the pipe to make some clearance.
