i know switching efi would cost more but why didnt you go holley efi and terminator x(or speeduino) ecu

[@JaredR1996]

Always cool to see this car being worked on. I recently became the owner of a 1985 C10. I can’t wait to work on it in the near future

[@SweatyFatGuy]

I'm working on a 76 C10 right now, great trucks.

[@HectorRodriguez-yc9bj]

Y’all lying them trucks are a pain in the ass to work on and there impractical great place to place to start tho 👌

[@SweatyFatGuy]

@@HectorRodriguez-yc9bj have you worked on the newer trucks? The last two months of my time have been soaked up by a 99 Silverado 2500 and a 00 Silverado 1500. They suck to work on. Don't even get me started on Dodge, and Fords after 1995 are horrible. Toyotas, they are like Dodges... ick.

[@waybachwin1747]

I really can’t wait to start working on my 68 GTCS. I got it last year when I graduated. It has a 289 and I might just go out there, sand blast everything, and paint my engine bay.

[@josephmarion5447]

GT/CS ! Awesome ... we have a 2007 CS .. first year of the commemorative re-release . Would love a 68 to go with it . Great to see young people into classics instead of ricers . My son is 13 and we just picked up a 65 coupe he is responsible for most of the restoration work

[@j.twibell]

I’ve been watching your channel for a couple years now man and you’ve really inspired me to buy an old car. Somehow that motivation landed me behind the wheel of a car I never thought I’d own. But I bought a 63 1/2 Galaxie 500 and it also has a 289. So the mustang is giving me ideas for “go fast parts!” It’s definitely not easy doing this stuff in your early 20s but I’m hoping to get it rolling soon. I plan on rocking a 4 Speed Films sticker in the side window as well! Keep up the great work, Ben! Big inspiration for this 21 year old Indiana kid. The mustang is going to be so sick!!

[@stephenholland5930]

Good luck with your project. It's good to see young lads into the classic '60s cars.

[@markgiancola8973]

Sweet ride! My dad worked at Ford and he brought home every Mustang available in that era 65-69...it was so cool to ride in each!!

[@Inspired2Bee]

Ben, looking forward to part #2. Appreciate the share, memories of working with Dad on his 1965 Mustang came flooding in. Fire it up!

[@jackvogel359]

I am excited to start working on my 66 mustang. I bought it from guy just recently but I have been busy administering vaccines the last few months. I have been able to start storing up parts for it to start the rebuild though. I’m converting it from an I6 cylinder to a V8. I don’t have the engine yet but I am looking for a 351W ;). I am sure I’ll be referring to your videos for some pieces of my build. Your quality of videos are outstanding! I especially love your collaborations with other classic car enthusiasts. Thanks!

[@tjdorsey654]

I always put a coat of oil on the oil filter seal because it prevents the rubber seal from getting stuck to the block when you go to change the filter again.

[@josephmarion5447]

Stumbled across you just looking a 65/66 videos . I’m a 45 year old Master Tech , who has always built hot rods on the side , done a couple ground up Mustangs . My son who is 13 just picked up his 65 coupe . It’s great to see a youngster into classics . We will be following you for sure . Car looks awesome by the way ..as somebody already mentioned has a cool Trans Am look to it .. love the Wide Ovals and A.R. T/Ts . 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

Young man you have a very cool ride there. Kinda reminds me of a vintage T/A race car

[@tavo.simracing]

i’ve been watching this channel for so many years now and the cinematography has always been on point

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thank you!

[@markweber7275]

Nice to see young hot riders. My son started out the same way, keep up the good work.

[@EspritGrandePrairie]

Great choice ! Holley with vacuum secondaries are the BEST !

[@nevillejohnson8316]

So I'm not hating on what you're doing with the Pony car, lots of memories doing this when I was your age. One thing I learned only recently about changing inlet manifolds on old motors. Always check the fit before bolting them down, ie : mating faces (manifold to head). Misalignment can cause internal coolant loss and overheating. Have a 340 which had this issue and previous owner was forever replacing head gaskets thinking they were the problem. With manifold measured and machined, problem solved. Shop also narrowed manifold for port alignment and suggested serious horsepower gain, they were right. Very cool Mustang by the way. 😎

[@rcravincase]

As a tip from someone with years of experience, use a socket on hose clamps. You can also pull the distributor cap and remove half of the wires and set it off to the side, or sometimes none. Less things to do, less chance of something breaking.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

You'll be really happy by getting rid of that "Edelbog". Holleys are really efficient and easy to maintain. Another big upgrade if you want is an electric fuel pump which will pretty much get rid of your hot, hard start events by giving you constant pressure to the carb.

[@josephmarion5447]

‘Edelbog’ 🤣. Good one ... i always called them edelCROCK , edelBRICK or edelBLOCK ... as in block of wood, cinder block ... etc .

[@freakindawgen]

Your car is so close to my build back in the early 80's. I had a holly 650 double pumper and torquer II intake. Had M/T valve covers but always wanted Cobra.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Nice! I have the M/T covers but they don’t clear my rockers

[@freakindawgen]

@@FourSpeedFilms Cobras probably won't either.

[@lorollinls]

Well shot and edited my friend! This kind of video quality deserves to be somewhere better than KZbin...

[@Thecraig909]

These videos are always awesome to watch! Gold Moroso’s are a MUST on this thing!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

I’ve been looking but I can’t find any for a 289…and I need tall valve covers because my rockers are after market

[@toddbob55]

Next time try and use RTV nozzle at the end so you can make a clean consistent bead you were scaring me sealing that intake i hope it doesnt leak.

[@josephmarion5447]

The young man is doing great ... but yeh , lil shaky on the beading there . Lol

[@perotekku]

Quality over Quantity with the uploads, they're always golden! 👍

[@jesseleue9970]

Awesome!! Holley makes a great carb and they always look amazing!

[@codyramos3200]

Damn those wide ovals and the torq thrust wheels look killer .

[@68mustangmustang77]

Enjoying this. Would like to see a holley 600dp on this motor. I've had both vacuum and mechanical . I love how mechanical comes on. Great work 👍🍻

[@paulcondie2520]

A brass wire wheel on a drill works great to take off old gasket material and to clean up mating service. Also port matching an intake and gasket adds horsepower for the next time you take ona similar project. Just a little tip. Love the car

[@markrs2000]

Love this motor, watching it coming together is really great. I really enjoy the way you film / edit your shows, very watchable.

[@joshuagarvey9362]

Congrats.Ya man been awhile.WTF Ben.I need to see more shifting man.Congratulations on the fun new parts.Always so exciting to bolt on new stuff and see performance improvements.Get that sucker tuned and get it rollen.Thanks for the post.

[@kimosabbe50]

You make some of the smoothest videos on YT ... very easy to watch 👍

[@chriscaine7113]

Great to have you back. Looking forward to more great videos.

[@I_like_turtles_67]

Pro tips: When you install a new intake on a sbf.( 289/302 ) Make sure you install the thermostat housing BEFORE you put it on the motor. That bottom bolt is a PITA. Second. You can do the install without removing the distributor. Third. Get a small caulking gun & try the Mr. Gasket right stuff on the china rails. You can get a nice pretty bead accros the top. Let it tack up a few minutes too. They come in black & clear. Stuff works well.

[@stephenholland5930]

You're about that bottom bolt on the thermostat housing!

[@joryhaggerty5380]

The oil on the filter rubber ring helps it not crack or tear

[@awesomecomet3577]

It's great to see another update on the Mustang and that intake and carb setup looks so good 😍! Hopefully going to get some work done on my 66 Marlin, now that I got my gas tank back from being cleaned 😎

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Congrats Ben on the new parts.

[@johnsarian_cu]

Just an idea from my experience - I've used WD-40 and a plastic blade before an gotten most RTV goobers off of surfaces. If it's really bad, a short soak with acetone works too. Boy that engine is looking really good!

[@JohnnyXR7]

Can’t wait to start seeing more videos coming soon! Love your car Ben so watching a vid on it is always great!

[@cmscms123456]

I like the Mustang and I like seeing young guys into cars experimenting with add ons. The carb looks about twice the size you need on a 289. Id be surprised is a 289 could digest 600cfm. More gas doesn't mean more power.

[@josephmarion5447]

So true ... more often than not ... people font understand volumetric efficiency and tend to over carb everything

Very nice, I own a 1968 mustang coupe with a 351w, never gonna sell that stang!

[@michaeldeakin4287]

I would have fitted a DP. If you haven't already done this, you can get lighter springs for the vac can, to get the secondaries in a little sooner, also lighter springs for a quicker timing advance, you want it all in for no more than 3000 rpm, will wake the motor up.

Great work there Ben loving that bear aluminium look. Ive been meaning to get a carb spacer on my Cougar... In my opinion, some old school Mickey Thompson rocker covers would look sick!

[@kingsamson9146]

Appreciate this, man! Really nice vibe and cool car, good work! About the oil on the oil filter gasket - it usually makes it easier to loosen up when you change it next time.

[@ZeGermanHam]

Always look forward to a new 4SF video. That said, this one definitely seemed to have a different tone aimed more at product placement.

[@finalmage6]

Nice progress! Should be a noticable uptick for sure. As a note. The oil that's made today is better than it's ever been. The only reason to run high ZDDP oil is because of flat tappet lifters on these older engines. Newer engines with roller lifters just don't need that kind of protection, and the high zinc content kills catalytic converters.

[@92xl]

Nice vid, I am getting ready to drop a new carb on my 289. Currently running one of the Fitech EFI throttle body kits and it has been problematic (very problematic!) so I think its time to go back old school. It's gonna get a Holley so I will be interested in seeing your results and review here.

Im working on my 1956 coronet 270 poly engine, and i got a 3x2 manifold for it and i rebuilt 3 holley 94 carbs for it, painted the motor red and put chrome valve covers with old school lettering and it looks awesome.

Only thing that worries me is I never saw the distributor cap come off to see where the rotor was sitting before pulling the distributor out. Other than that seems like a job well done. Not trying to be rude, I’m 22 years old and had to learn stuff the hard way.

[@paulharms5395]

Hey Ben, those beads of silicon on the front and back ends (instead of cork gaskets) look a little thin. Be on the lookout for vacuum or oil leaks in those areas in case silicon wasn’t thick enough to seal.

I laid down more after those two shots👍 I put down a lot but I’m still scared haha! I’m starting up the car tomorrow…so we will find out soon

[@joshreese1721]

I hope it works great but it looked like you did not put a lot of gasket on the front and back when I did it a few months ago I put too much but it should be around 1/4 of an inch tall if I'm not mistaken, just watch for it. If you see oil you know where its coming from, good luck good vido

You should always fill the oil filter before installing it. Never install a dry oil filter.

[@cmscms123456]

You need an 'anode radiator cap' When ever introducing aluminum into the water circuit of your engine, electrolysis take place, a chemical reaction that begins eating the aluminum, pitting it, and eventually ruining the manifold and causing leaks. Google it, see what you think

[@randomlife718]

Trim the length of the cork gasket and it won't slip.

Try to use just ethanol-free gas. The ethanol is what corrodes the rubber tubes and can damage other parts of your engine.
