Ford Fairlane 289 with Jim Inglese Induction - First Startup!

Ford 289, .030" over, Diamond Racing 11.8:1 Pistons, Trick Flow Twisted Wedge 190R Aluminum Heads, Forged Crank, H-Beam Rods, Jim Inglese Weber Carbs, Hooker Super Comp Headers.
First startup today after almost 5 months of getting everything together. What an awesome feeling to finally see all the hard work coming to life. ;-)
Now to let it break in and get started on the bodywork!

Ive run and built several 289s..ive never heard one snap and rev that quick!! That sounds amazing!!

[@PowerHungryPerformance]

It is responsive!

[@stevefowler2112]

That's the nearly 12:1 comp ratio talking...

[@ellieprice3396]

Light flywheel?

[@user-us8fw6ok8y]

Lightweight flywheel.

[@getoffenit7827]

@@user-us8fw6ok8y ive used those and they are great but ive never built a 289 with 13.1 compression nor used Inglese or anything like that except 2 Autolite 4bbl carbs. My Dad ground the camshafts as i switched them in and out..He was old voo-doo and black magic with camshafts way beyond anything i knew

[@marcinjedrol]

That's the fastest sounding engine I've heard in a long time. Great job!

[@PowerHungryPerformance]

It is snappy!

[@garyballard723]

Healthiest engine I've heard in a very long time.

[@joeanderson1616]

That throttle response...just fantastic!

[@johngibson3837]

I agree super sweet response but was thinking it might just have the auto flex plate and not a flywheel with clutch which would be massive weight reduction

[@HedrickSpeedsports]

Holy CRAP!!! That sounds BAD ASS!!!

[@coache1nine]

The sound and the look is impressive, but that throttle response from a carbed engine is dead on. Excellent job!!!

[@alancunningham479]

I thought the same thing,amazing.

[@zragevii4705]

not to mention. that's ALOT of flow. Something like 1000cfm plus, on a 289ci engine. And it responds like it's a 600cfm carb.

[@topcan5600]

@@zragevii4705 close to 2000cfm with all 4 carbs

[@donziperk]

@@topcan5600 The flow depends on what size chokes are in the carbs. Thats the wonderful thing about those that you can easy change the cfm and jetting. I would guess its flowing around 750-850 depending on the rpm range the engine was built for.

[@2011metalmaniac]

with everyone else in the US seemingly building bigger v8s all the time, its nice to see these small ones bark and BITE with the best of them. Sometimes i think 289's sound better than their larger brethren.

[@jamesguidry3995]

You are absolutely correct my friend the 289 & 302 sound way better than ANY other V8 PERIOD !! They have what Harley has .

[@iggyfritz7150]

My first car was a 289 hi-po T10 trans Detroit Locker rear, a 6000 RPM hit would leave an entire city block in tire smoke. With slicks it would lift the front wheels.

[@Loulovesspeed]

My classmate's Father had a Tiger II W/ 289, 4bl. and headers and he could yank the front tires up an inch or so skyward with stock tires! The car was sick and a real sleeper to the unaware!

[@AtropalArbaal-dk8jv]

289 with quad Webers, what an iconic combination.

[@ArnoldsDesign]

[@davescbradiorepair8195]

I have always loved the 289 it revs so high and quick and has won numerous races over the competition. First time carrol shelbys 289 cobras raced a bunch of vettes the cobras left them in the dust.

[@superjody56]

I never had a 289 but I did have it's little brother, a 221 V8. I also had several 302's. Never owned a 260, 289, or a 351. They are all great engines. This one revs quicker than any that I have EVER heard. Awesome.

Wow ! That's definitely impressive ! Just need a 1967 fast back to put it in ! 👍🏻

[@stevefowler2112]

Very nice...I built a K code engine years ago that had 11.5:1 compression with the heads reworked to take the chevy 1.90 intake valves, running weber carbs with the Ford LeMans cam and hooker headers...sounded similar. Mine pulled 360 BHP on the dyno on race gas...I would swag yours is closer to 400.

[@theratrace5826]

That is a thing of beauty.

[@greggminkoff6733]

Big bore, short stroke is the beginning of a recipe for high RPM and POWER!! In the 60s I had a Fairlane with a 289/2 barrel. In the early 1970s, car manufacturers were detuning their engines for emissions and improvements in mpg. After you reversed a detuned engine, you had an engine that was born to run. In the 1970s, I modified a 455 in my '73 Toronado, a 390 in my '72 Ford pickup and a 460 in my '77 Mark V. Ahhh yes ! The good ol' days of push you back in your seat torque.

[@slimm250]

well just changed my mind from doing a 302 swap in my falcon.

[@thecoltster1]

good

[@unicornsteaks6769]

You can just put a 302 crank in your 289 and achieve 13 ci more displacement. More than 13 if the engine is bored over. 331 and 347 stroker kits also fit most 289s same as they do 302s.

I've got a 347 in my fairlane. It would be crazy in a falcon.

Question on the "Forged Crank". I contacted SCAT and EAGLE about 5 yrs ago asking about such an animal. They said one does exist in their offerings. I then asked about a custom crank, and was told that they do no make any cranks with less than a 3" stroke. So has this changed or did you get a Forged 302 (3.00" Stroke) crank and have it destroked down to a 289 (2.87" Stroke)? Thanks, Ron

[@jerryedmans8984]

Hi - loved the video - just wondering what cam you used? Also compression 11.8:1? Just trying to learn this stuff as planning my first build. If higher compression does this require different octane fuel? Am looking at same heads and just want to make sure I match these with the right other components. Thanks for posting a fantastic video. Cheers Jerry

[@rossvoorheis2391]

I'm assuming you've already built your engine but yes, the higher the static compression ratio (volume of cylinder at bottom center : volume of cylinder at top dead center) the higher the octane rating you'll need. Now I'm curious, DID you build your motor and how did it turn out?

[@Hjfvvdst]

That sounds great. What is it in?

[@Lightningbug122]
