Part 10: 1967 Shelby GT 500 Mustang Restoration - Our 428 Engine Arrives

[@porschenut9]

I just love watching Jason work his magic. He appears to be incredibly efficient with his processes and makes everything looks so easy.

[@TrainMaster04]

Thank you Mr. Heasley for another great update video! You are definitely a fine example of the dedicated car community!

[@thewriter2549]

Appreciate the encouragement.

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, worth waiting over 2 months for it! Please don't make us wait another 2 months for #11! Excellent series, many compliments & thanks to Jason for his work & quality of product! Anxiously awaiting #11! Thank you Jerry & Jason!

Outstanding, I really enjoyed the education of the engine numbers and parts. 1 step closer to burnouts.

[@niosanfrancisco]

Gets better & better Jerry ! So excited to see the masterpiece Jason has created for you. I’m so impressed with his extensive knowledge of basically everything

[@Spottedinthe806]

I live in Amarillo and love seeing these local to the area connections! Les is awesome! I’ve seen Jason’s cars but never had the honor to meet him yet! Great job all around!

Knowledge too.

[@thomasgoolsby8661]

I have been following your channel for a long time. I have really enjoyed watching the restoration of this Shelby. Thamk you for saving and restoring this wonderful car. I look forward to seeing it completed.

[@jackhamilton1022]

So today is 11-28-2024 Thanksgiving, It is an interesting time..where perhaps America will get a reset and by the grace of God with little violence... Watching this one competent man doing this work with commitment, humility and quite command is inspiring and reminds me of the kind of men who built this great nation.. Let us all be thankful and renewed...and commit to being our better selves everyday. Look inward and quietly go about the work of rebuilding ourselves...and the nation will follow.

[@Chef-vg4pu]

Unbelievably informative, how does this guy not work for Ford directly?

[@moparedtn]

Everyone involved is being such a good sport to allow you to not only video the process, but ask questions and such as well. Looks like you got the right team on the job, Jerry! - Ed on the Ridge

[@thewriter2549]

Thanks Ed. Yeah, I would agree with that.

[@1226tradaddy]

Man, your video is so good.I had to go back to the beginning and watch part one

[@nickanderson3440]

Another amazing video Jerry! Makes me so happy you found your dream car and we get to watch the restoration step by step. Please keep the videos coming!!!

[@thesaltysergeant4103]

I concur with many of the other remarks. Love this bunch of videos on this gem of a car. My first car was a restored 65 Mustang, My uncle had a Mustang shop and I bought a car for cheap and he taught me how to restore is to a working car. That was in the early 90s. We swapped out the 289 for a 428. It was an amazing car. I wish I still had it today.

[@yay-3012]

It’s not a gem it’s a driver lots of reproduced parts not much original a driver quality car not an investment car. I think he want3d a car to drive not a garage queen

[@2packs4sure]

I did that new timing set screw up on my 390 20 years ago,, the spacer is built into the new cam sprocket for the new timing set and I didn't even realize there was a spacer on the cam but I did when I started it, lol.. Only ran it about 20 seconds and shut it down. It sounded crazy.. Started all over again and figured out the mistake. What a PITA it was.. lol I actually called Cloyes and told them they should put a warning and/or diagram in those FE timing chain sets and they were not interested in the least... Didn't hurt it at all,, I drove it for years after that...

[@deewiedman7384]

awesome show

[@thewriter2549]

Thank you for that. It's what I always wanted to do.

Thanks for helping me achieve a dream I've always had - to do my own TV show. Well, this is a TV show. RIght?.

I love old machine shops like that. Notice the library of books behind the counter, for reference, specs, and part numbers.

[@pofomoco2]

Awesome Jerry!! Another great installment in the 1967 Shelby build. I absolutely love this build and it keeps me motivated while I wait my turn @ JW’s. I have my block, heads, and most of my “Hipo” engine components ready. Hopefully we’ll deliver the block, heads and crank to Barker Machine shop soon, it’s about a 6 (+) month wait in line now.

[@thewriter2549]

​@@pofomoco2 I think you'll like the process because it really moves along. Is this a Shelby GT-350?

[@pofomoco2]

@@thewriter2549 No sir its just a nice 1965 Fastback that JW located for me in Canyon. It'll be a full rotisserie re-creation into a Black & Gold 1966 GT350 Hertz rent-a-racer. I am not blessed to have an original GT350, but I've been fortunate to source allot of refurbished, original and NOS Shelby specific exterior trim, engine and interior trim pieces for the build. What isn't original will be sourced thru Tony Branda Performance. With JW's experience and expertise it will be a true gem that my family can enjoy at a mom-n-pop car show, Lubbock club cruises and as a sunny day driver.

[@thewriter2549]

Okay, I believe we talked about this? Was that at a car show? I like the story and still want to do a video with you on getting the project car. Is that still a go?

[@torinoscj]

FYI, the easy way to remove main cap number three, with the thrust bearing, is to put the main bolt part way down the hole and hit the head sideways with a mallet. It pops them right out.

[@yusifmeherremov9626]

I can't live without this car😢😢😢

[@redmondjp]

I am enjoying this series so much! I saw one of these Shelby engines at a car show 35-40 years ago (I don't even think it was in a Mustang, my memory tells me that someone had installed it in a Mercury Cougar XR7 - it was an odd duck which is why I remember it), with that OEM dual quad setup - I think the first time and last time that I have ever seen one in person. I didn't know how rare these were, and am amazed that you could even find those stock air cleaner pieces, at any price.

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Love this build, my favourite muscle car by far !

HI JERRY , TY for showing us another episode , I can t wait for more.. I once spoke to JASON about doing a NON SHELBY , I CAN SAY THIS HE NOT ONLY IS SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE BUT ALSO A GENTLEMAN , it is as SHAME that there are so many RESTORATION SHOPS that are A FARCE and a DISGRACE to the hobbyist... TY JERRY , keep us informed , be well

[@bigmountain7561]

The old rope seals had a little asbestos in them and if installed properly were a good seal.

[@thewriter2549]

I'm sure they worked. But, there is a better way to seal the caps today.

[@jasonwhite6254]

You cant even get rope seals anymore use come in gaskets kits now just modern ones,I have used lot rope seals on flathead they leak period especially if not drove on regular basis the new ones never had one leak

[@lowellfunk8974]

Whilst I love the channel and the work that goes into it(the outcomes are nothing less than totally amazing), I don't in all honesty think I could leave a vehicle someplace that had cats in the shop. I've had too much experience with cats and cars to even contemplate that. 😂❤

[@tipetu]

He didn`t pop the freeze plugs! I wanted to see the 428 stamped inside..

We'll show looking inside when he rebuilds he engine, which I will show detailed steps.

It won't be long. I hope to get part 11 out this coming week.

[@murphyr31]

I was really looking forward to another installment of your mustang restoration. I hope you are planning on driving this car regularly. It would be a shame to see it not get driven.

[@GrantWebster-w7v]

I was lead to believe that you shouldn't reuse the head, main bearing and the connecting rod bolts because they have. been torqued which stretches and weakens the bolt. I see Jason throwing them into the save bucket. Maybe the shop that is rebuilding the motor will replace them.

[@thewriter2549]

Les ar Barker Machine went over that in the video

[@jasonwhite6254]

Only time half replace head bolts if there torque to yield most new engines have them old engine can reuse long as they toque to spec

[@FiteTheGoodFight]

FE "Lemans" rods had cap screw fasteners, not rod bolts as your engine has.🧐 They rated for use to 7500 rpm in the 427. They were found in the 427's, 428 SCJ and possibly the 406's only. Lemans rods are quite a bit beefier than Police Interceptor rods. P.I. rods are beefier than base 390-428 2v/4v and truck rods. 390, 406, 410, 427 & 428 all have the same rod length. Ford just changed the piston pin location. I'd be questioning the book he's using for the part numbers of those rod casting numbers. Lemans rods are superior, but the P.I. rods you have there are still pretty good. 390 GT also came with the PI rods.

[@pauleastend4706]

I had to log in here just to say....Jerry, you add such foolish commentary, buddy no sooner tells you what he's about to do and you just ask him again....listen to buddy, watch and learn.

[@CudaGuy-be5kz]

Jerry, stop by the shop this weekend. I recently picked up a 70 R code Mach 1 you need to check out.

[@dennistone8710]

nice find! The rocker arm assemblies are not the same for all FE engines. Some engines had adjustable rocker arms w/ 1.76:1 ratios while others had non-adjustable rocker arms with 1.73:1 ratios. 427 Hi-riser and 427 medium riser had different rocker shaft stands,

[@timdunmyer4549]

Is there any more progress on the interior while we wait for the engine?

[@thewriter2549]

The car has been done for over a year. It takes me usually at least 100 hours per Part to edit the hours of video.

[@yusifmeherremov9626]

It's my big dream in life to own this car, it's a pity that this dream will remain😢😢😢

[@davidYTchannel4nonsense]

This restoration had to have cost 150K+ ? This guy is so meticulous I can hear the money stacking up as he works. Everything is like brand new, part by part. Car is going to last forever.

[@shaneyule3484]

more please 🙏

[@cyclonescott]

If both of those heads were C7AE-A heads, the only difference would be the bolt patter on the exhaust ports. After 1965 Ford didn't have a lot of different performance heads. Your options would be 427 Medium Riser, 427 Tunnel port and 428 CJ heads. All other heads could and would be used on anything from a 352 to a 428 in a car to a truck.

[@savannahlt1]

When do you think you will be driving this beauty?

[@richardoswalt1009]

That is going to be a great car, what are your plans? Are you ever going to drive it or just show it?

[@thewriter2549]

I interviewed 10 - 15 Mustang owners at the 2024 Mustang 60th anniversary in Birmingham last April. I came away with insights into how to have fun with this car, which is a mixture of driving and showing. I'll include these interviews in that video. There was one guy that wouldn't open the door handle to his 1967 GT-500 without a rag. I won't do that.

One reason I usually can't stand these video's in the absolute BS they spout about the value of this stuff. FE PCV tube - $300-400? NOPE, they're on eBay right now for under $100 Top end (heads, intake, etc = $1,000). NOPE, try selling FE heads that only have the vertical bolt pattern. A cast iron FE intake? I've got the exact same intake off my 428 for sale, right now, for $25 and nobody wants it. He paid $2,500 for the intake? He got scammed, you can find them for $1,500. Poor Jerry, you should really learn to turn a wrench yourself, it might save you some money.
