Gapp & Roush Pro Stock Mustang Restoration with Jack Roush Interview PT1 | Awesome 351 Cleveland!

[@mikewslshwalsh5185]

I Can't Get Enough history from Roush he's the man and I love the freaking cars thank you Revan Evan

[@terrygarvin1980]

Great historical channel. Thank You.

[@joevald3]

A great video Jack is still the same . He will always be a racer and that knowledge is unbelievable . He raced in my town and I'm glad he did

[@CanIbeFrank]

Clevelands are sick. Bob Gliddan was the man with them

[@chadkent1241]

The most handicapped engine of the era.

[@motownXJdad9565]

Glidden was untouchable

[@paultucker8758]

Robert Yates was pretty good with them too.

[@BlueByYou07]

I'll say Dyno Don was THE Cleveland man. He had big cube all aluminum match race 351c engines that Ford only gave him the experimental aluminum blocks to. Way over 400ci they were, dont think Glidden had any of those.

[@motownXJdad9565]

@@BlueByYou07 thats what makes Glidden and his undefeated Fairmont that much more impressive, and Jon Kaase was the guy that did all DD 's ford motors and was his crew chief. Glidden also did all of his own work ncluding machine work and clutch building because he couldnt afford to pay anyone to do it for him

[@misterkrispy8010]

Thank you for showing us this awesome car Evan.

[@dennisgriffey8448]

I've been in that shop 2 times. As a Ford guy I drooled every second

[@patriley5333]

True Legend of motorsports, thanks for showing such craftsmanship from way back to today...can't wait to see that launch down the 1/4 mile again!

[@mc2whls]

The engine sounded AWESOME!

[@stevefowler2112]

In 1974 I was a Jr. in H.S. and I bought a repossessed '70 Mustang Mach I with a 351 Cleveland. As a Ford kid I knew a little bit about what I was getting but i didn't know the subtleties of the Mach I options (this was before I came to understand deciphering VIN numbers, etc.). Once me and mine buddy went over it, it appeared to be all OEM and I was happy to discover it was a 4v car with a close ratio top loader. A couple months later my Dad (who was an old Ford guy and a Rocket Engineer out at Cape Canaveral) and I and my best friend pulled the engine with the intention of converting it to a mech cam setup and taking a look inside. Much to my surprise when we pulled the oil pan we saw 4 bolt mains....at that time we all thought perhaps the 4v engines came with 4 bolt mains but I learned later that only the '71 Boss 351 cars came with 4 bolt mains. So I have always figured as my car was a late year car they must have had some 4 bolt blocks lying around and thru happenstance I got one. Anyway when my Dad saw that he decided he'd like to go through the blueprint process. I certainly learned a lot about building "race" engines and performing precision machining. The engine came out the other end with a dyno'd 545 BHP on a single 1150 Holley with mech secondaries, with a single plane Edelbrock intake, hooker headers, a sizable isky mechanical roller cam, mallory dual point ignition and 12.0:1 compression. The car ran very smoothly but required Sunoco 106 octane fuel, which in '74 was still available. I only had the car for just under two years, as I sold it when I went off to Engineering College, but though I have had lots of fast cars since then (I currently own a 2019 Ferrari 488 Spider) that Mach I with the Cleveland is still the car I have the fondest memories of. I never lost a street race and was generally acknowledged as having the fastest car in town.

[@DWH300]

A fantastic video with one of the kings of Ford racing. Thanks for sharing this special Ford racing icon with us.

[@jaylongton]

Top notch content!

[@revanevan]

Thanks

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thomaskelley1718]

Evan you lucky white boy. Jack is definitely one of my top Ford heroes and one I would like to meet.

[@StainlessTIG2]

Jack Roush is the greatest ever. Piston ring package is so critical. I’ve got a 351-Cleveland going into my 86 mustang next after the Windsor. This Cleveland went mid 9’s on a 150 shot at 8300 rpms with factory iron closed chamber heads. Mechanical roller cam with the Parker funnel web intake, and 1000 cfm 4150 Holley.

[@bobganshaw364]

Sweet video. Great car.

[@s550mustang5]

Jack Roush an absolute legend…. Much Respect

[@johnelliott7375]

Keep up the great work and have a great weekend and next time you need to show us the historical stuff like that tach working along with it running. God bless your family and work. Great evening to you. Thanks for the invite to the party and letting us watch and see everything! Thanks so much.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

The paint looks 5 times better than the original up close i’ll bet. Love these early drag cars. Back then it was raw, driver and tuner (minus a laptop) oriented racing.

[@blueovalracing1582]

Thanks for another great video Jack needs to grow his sideburns back that he had from the late 70s

[@supercuda1950]

I was fortunate enough to see this car run at Edgewater. I also got to talk to him while he was working on the car between rounds. He was very approachable and free to talk about what he was doing. A great racer and a a great man.

[@lewisgeyer1440]

In the mid-80s I was in Roush’s shop with a friend who was having a Ford Ranger modified. The two things I remember seeing are: 1.A few continuation Cobras being assembled 2. A white Mustang II with a Boss 429

[@keithclark3079]

Good Lord!! Sound is beyond awesome

[@troy-from-cjrc]

I just can't get enough of the guys that made this sport what it is today and Jack Roush is definitely one of those men. Most of the fans these days have no idea how men like this solved the problems and engineered the solutions that are still being used to this day. Thanks for sharing!

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

Great car, great man. Thanks

[@K-Effect]

I love the custom steel valve covers

[@edmonton1952]

[@shaneminor2367]

Evan, please keep this content up! Listening to Jacks’s stories makes my day. Love to hear all those little secrets that he used to make his stuff so fast. He is a true innovator.

[@revanevan]

I’ll do my best. Hoping people can share our KZbin channel to help us grow.

Of course jack shows up Ya had his drag car runnin' What a legend Thanks for a peek y'all

[@traxiii]

I wanted to give a few more thumbs up when he stated that bad boy up!

[@roberttaylor5999]

I'm glad that they're restoring that great piece of history. Then to get a chance to talk to a legend like Jack Roush, talk about a good day.

[@timkis64]

its great to see jack is out & about & doing well.the man is a living legond.getting up in years & still loving life.hope he has many happy years still in front of him.jack has my total respect for his accomplishments.

Nice workin on cars that are clean. Just repaired one some lady ran over a skunk & then a opossum and a couple squirrels maybe a cat. All this right before lunch.

[@philbeasley7316]

I was always a gliden guy but jack was the one that never left ford and he seems to never forget his stuff

[@timothyeldred7622]

Wow seeing those heads brings me back to the 70s. Had a set on a 347 Cleveland bought all the parts from him. Had it in a tube chassis Pinto with a Nash 5spd similar to the chassis there..nice job EVAN thanks for the stroke down memory lane

[@revanevan]

You’re welcome Timothy.

[@Mike583]

Those were some of Fords glory days, thanks to G&R, Dyno,& Glidden! I seen the one picture where their car had the #1! Brings back so many great memories, watching all these great legends racing at the US NATIONALS. Year after year,it was the Fords winning P/S there, I'm 68 now & I'd give anything to see competitive Fords back!❤😎👍🏆

[@RSDX99]

It's kind of tough for the Fords to be winning, when they start beating GM, the GM owners complain and a new rule pops up.

[@lessummers5738]

@@RSDX99 RD yep Gm owns the racing bodies

[@plantfeeder6677]

It only takes one Ford to beat a hundred Chevys

[@joelalleman9591]

I had the privilege of watching this car in nhra competition when I was a young man ! The 351 cleveland , brainchild of Jack Roush himself as a Ford engineer !! This, the 351 cleveland engine that Jack designed , listed in the NHRA rulebook for pro stock in that era as having " an unfair horsepower advantage over the small block chevrolet " . " Therefore the clevelands must run at a heavier car weight to allow the chevrolets to compete " Had these cars run even up against the competition , the fords would have won all the races of the small block era !!!!!!!

[@danmyers9372]

Those canted valve heads, especially when modified flowed levels Chevy heads could only dream of.

[@johnguerriero6851]

DAMN!! So awesome you have such a great relationship with Jack. Keep dropping hints so you can make some passes in that ride!

[@davenettlesmusic2954]

Well when you talk Ford racers from back in the day it was Gapp & Roush, Dyno Don, & Bob Glidden.

[@PaxtonGT]

Awesome stuff Evan! keep it up.... You are a corner stone to Ford Racing history! keep up the work sir!

[@revanevan]

Thank you

[@chadkent1241]

I'm a simple man...I see Roush/Gapp I smash the like button

[@deeredude]

Mr Roush is a nice man. He's as legit as they come and they knowledge that he has lost is more than I'll ever gain. He's one smart dude.

[@johnbarker419]

For some reason much of the NASCAR fan community has never liked him and I've never been able to figure out why.

[@Richard.Hybels]

Very cool!

[@kennydemartini2169]

I love it! Back in the days when just about anybody could build a Pro Stock car, and the bodies actually looked stock.. I really hope Jack runs that car hard down the track one more time.

[@toms5oh]

Evan, I think you will get the first crack at it. Man I love Jack he's one of my heroes.

I could spend a week just listening to Jack as he has forgotten more than I ever knew about the historyof FoMoCo racing

[@keithburkett2234]

Saw this car at the 1974 Gatornationals,my first Nhra national event I attended.Both the GandR Pinto and MustangII qualified in the 16 car field.Jack made it to the final and lost to Wally Booth on a hole shot.What I thought was cool was the hatchback blew off the Mustang in eliminations and broke into a million pieces so someone found a white Mustang rental car and borrowed the heavy metal hatchback .It was white so they attached it with 150 mph racing tape, pulled weight out and ran it.If you look closely you can see the white hatchback in the 1974 video.Very cool

That's when Pro Stock was Pro Stock. Does he have the Pinto? I saw that run down in Gainesville FLA. I have photos of that one somewhere. I also use to have a Bud Moore 351 Cleveland with the raised exhaust port plates, and put that in my 1969 Mustang Mach1. Damn I wish I still had it.
