Ford Mustang GT Gr.A PinePac (1984) - 5.0L V8 N/A Engine - Actions + Onboard at Imola Classic 2018

[@540chevhell9]

I'm from New Zealand and remember this car racing here and in Australia back in the 80's... thank you for bringing it to everyone's attention. The SBF engine sounds fantastic.

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

Thank you 😉👍

[@ShelbysGT]

That 3rd gear low rpm Torque out of the turns 🔥 🔥 💪🏽

[@305dadecounty_grabberbluem5]

Nothing sounds better that that Ford V8!!!!

[@pzkpfw2310]

Best looking front end IMO.

[@thegildedagemadonnabe]

That's how all the 80s Mustangs should sound, that thing is a beast! My dream car is the 1984 SVO

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

You are absolutely right. The Mustang of your dreams is a nice car👍

[@KartKing4ever]

Which is funny because the SVO doesn't sound like this at all.

[@possibly8180]

​@@KartKing4ever certified turbo inline-4 moment

[@Odin3v]

Considering the 82-93 mustang v8 shared the same v8, you shouldnt compact them to the 80s. Plus the SVO isnt a v8.

[@nategrady]

Currently my favorite video on KZbin. I need more info on this car!!

[@mio-robloxgod]

Every time I get discouraged to build my 86 I come back to this video to get motivation and just say screw it 😎. Awesome video and awesome build guys. Congrats you have a beauty 🤙🏽

[@ponyupgarage2960]

Love it. But that shifter flopping around would drive me nuts!

[@angry9901]

Great looking car, love the restoration. The car did not compete in any 12 hour races at Bathurst. The races were the Bathurst 1000 which was completed in 6 hours and 41 minutes in 1985. The sister car built by Zacspeed was campaigned by Australian legend Dick Johnson.

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

Thanks for the information, I did more thorough research, and obviously, I was wrong, and you were right. I proceeded to change the notes under the video, thanks again 😉👍

[@angry9901]

All good, the James Hardie 1000 at Bathurst was the premier touring car race in Australia. I remember the Bruce Anderson Mustang competing in 1985 and 1986 from memory. It looked great compared to the Ford Sierras that took over in 1987. There was a club at the mountain called the Federation Against Rotary's and Turbos, FART. Pity the organisers did not listen to them. They were farting into the wind.🤪

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

@@angry9901 hahaha, thanks again!

Respect to you, for loving the Mustang!!

love it. clean build and great driving skills. can't wait to get my 92lx back on the track

[@danfriesen4417]

Wicked little fox mustang...I'd love to get my 83 GT on a road course. I got a 5.0 roller block with a 650 holley, cam, intake, headers, straight piped, 5 speed and 4.10 gears, frame stiffened up,lowered,panhard bar...man it looks like fun !! Great video !!

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

Wow, your car looks like a perfect racing car; I'm convinced you are having a lot of fun with it 😄👍

[@danfriesen4417]

@Italiansupercarvideo Thank you very much ! So much fun on the street you can't imagine 😄....now I need to get to the road course here, it's 2 hours away. Loved the video and I saved it so I can watch over ! ❤️

one bad ass foxbody! i've got an 84 with 86 bumpers as well and if I ever win the lottery this is what i''l turn it into!

[@knievel8727]

very good driver, 3:48 cracked me up when he made a pass and started nodding his head.

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

hahaha, oh yes 😂👍

[@SuperThugnifacent]

He's like damn this foxbody actually gets it hahah

[@Diamondsintherubble]

Wow, I never thought I’d see a mustang set foot on the prancing horse’s home court. Pony vs pony, now that’s a race I’d love to see

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

You are right, after that weekend of racing I have never seen this car again in Imola but this comparison is very nice; I had not thought about it, they are two types of horses, Italian and American, but always famous horses are 😉👍

[@EscortSportage]

Lovely

[@Superiordealsbazaar]

The fox body always needed better suspension and chassis stiffening in the curves it does okay but on the straightaway it shines with the torque

[@nedaCFilms]

Hello gorgeous little Foxbody Mustang

[@PokySan]

I love how he attack the corner at 4:29.

[@jojoleclair6065]

Awesome

[@blacknordic1]

eso fué hipnotico

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

😉👍

[@Diamondsintherubble]

Any ideas on the cubic inches? I know it’s an sbf but I haven’t seen if it’s an 8.2/9.2/9.5 deck engine block. Should be making a healthy 400-600 on pump gas. Sounds like it’s shifting in the 6500-7000 range

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

I don't have much information on the engine, but for any questions you can write to the Team that uses it to race in Europe; you can find it at this address: www.frenchspeedconnection.com However, these should be the characteristics of the engine with Group A specifications: 5.0L V8, 390HP, cast iron block & cylinder heads, roller cam and roller rockers, factory Aluminium inlet manifold, 4 barrel carb, tubular exhaust manifolds.

[@Diamondsintherubble]

@@Italiansupercarvideo it might be a stretch cause I’d have to ask them personally, but if what you’re saying is the base rules for the class, then there’s a high possibility that he’s running the famous ford b303 camshaft (it has the same soft lope and rpm range), most likely an edelbrock torker 2 intake or rpm air gap (painted it black so couldn’t tell), and either e7te factory cylinder heads or GT40/gt40p upgraded iron factory casting heads. I can definitely see 400hp coming from this engine but it is not an endurance racer by a long shot with the iron heads

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

@@Diamondsintherubble Surely you are very experienced; you tell me things that I am not aware of; I am sorry that I am not very helpful. I can tell you that these guys on the team are very nice and usually answer emails. If you want to write to them, they could tell you what changes they have made to the engine.

[@Diamondsintherubble]

@@Italiansupercarvideo sounds great my friend. Old school American hot rods and a 50 year range of factory parts. There’s a lot to learn about 😅. I know euro stuff is custom most of the time, I’ve never seen a foxbody with center locks on the stock suspension before, but in America they have MOSTLY off the shelf stuff. So you can just buy something and slap it on, instead of asking for custom specs

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

@@Diamondsintherubble What I like about your processing methods in the United States is that, with a lot of simplicity, you can find standard parts to assemble and make an engine and a racing car at reasonable costs. In Europe, on the other hand, we always try to optimize and customize everything. Surely, getting the best performance is the right way; the downside is that everything is costly in this way.

[@immortalcars5256]

how do they get that high pitch raspy sound?? been looking everywhere

[@TassieLorenzo]

About 7500rpm, 4-2-1 header, X-pipe and minimal mufflers I guess. It pretty much sounds like a more modern V8 Supercar. But the devil is in the detail and trial-and-error to get the right sound. Any kind of long tube header (be it 4-1 or moreso 4-2-1) will make it sound more high-pitched compared to a short tube header (especially unequal length short tube). The X-pipe also joins the banks together to raise the frequency (H-pipe for more of an old school put-put-put sound). Having smaller mufflers (of the straight-through type) will make it more raspy as they mainly absorb raspy sounds and not bass ones. Going down on exhaust diameter will makeit sound more high-pitched too, say dual 2.75" instead of dual 3" or dual 2.5: instead of dual 2.75", though this racecar is likely dual 2.75" or dual 3".

[@immortalcars5256]

@@TassieLorenzothanks man! That’s exactly what I’ve learned. Also have learned that compression and a solid roller can helps with that sound. But my project took a turn and will be going with a coyote engine now haha. But the sbf will go in my falcon

[@bluesky-ud9wg]

Uh what's that bucket on top of the intake?? Does anyone use those things anymore???

[@tylerford2651]

What exhaust are you running

[@alexkaligaric2929]

This fox jams, that shifter play though lol 2nd gear position to reverse position on the hard left turn without touching it.

[@NGG1983]

I think these touring car spec early 80's Mustangs used a dog-leg Getrag gearbox so 1st gear is where 2nd would be on a Borg Warner T5. That shifter is sure loosy-goosy, a T5 shifter doesnt move around like that.

[@papopleto]

The shifter :(

[@bus-fun-addict]

'86 grill

[@chestrockwell8328]

Or 85' based on no high mount third brake light, perhaps all 1985 US spec front and rear. The interior door panels and dash say 78-81'

[@YuriBruschi]

Devo ammettere che questo V8 non fà il solito "cioccare da bidone vuoto" (cit. dalla tribuna Ascari), tipico dei motori americani. Gira abbastanza rotondo

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

Trovo che abbia un suono molto bello, ma in generale a me i V8 aspirati americani piacciono 😉

[@YuriBruschi]

@@Italiansupercarvideo : Questo commento non vuole essere offensivo nei confronti dei V8 americani, mi ha fatto solo venire in mente una battuta di alcuni anni fà, sentita in Ascari, riferita a una Corvette durante la Coppa Intereuropa, e che mi fece molto ridere. Personalmente preferisco i V8 nostrani che "frullano", senza togliere niente alla tradizione motoristica di oltre oceano. D'altronde il monoblocco Mustang era la base del Cosworth DFV .. Scusa se è poco!! Mi piace anche il soggetto della esclusiva e particolare vettura in conformazione Gr. A

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

@@YuriBruschi Ma chi si offende, non mi sembra niente di particolare questo commento, anzi, è risaputo che più della metà degli europei guarda sempre la tecnica motoristica americana dall'alto verso il basso. Sono scuole di pensiero differenti. Certo che un V8 Ferrari, per intenderco, frulla e suona magnificamente, ma apprezzo altrettanto i V8 USA per via della loro affidabilità e semplicità costruttiva, dopotutto un motore che non si rompe ai miei occhi ha già vinto...😂. Come te sono rimasto molto incuriosito da questa vettura, che oltretutto correva in Australia e Nuova Zelanda. Un'occasione per vedere in Europa auto in configurazione da gara a noi sconosciute all'epoca 👍

It’s a pity Ford didn’t produce 500 evolution cars to give it the ingredients to win group A races.

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

Yeah, you're right 👍

[@Steveaustin007]

Italiansupercarvideo - the car has so much potential - Ford has the resources through Cosworth or ( Shelby / Roush) to use High lifting valves - hrpm Cosworth internals - a better manifold : cylinder head + extractors .

[@jessebudelman]

Everytime I see a foxbody I think of a ford escort on steroids.
