Glorious 9,000 RPM 289 Small-Block 1965 Mustang | 4-Speed | Super Stock Ford

Bobby Fazio gives us a ride in his high-winding, 9,000-rpm Super Stock Ford 1965 Mustang. Watch as he rows the gears in his Jerico 4-speed and learn what makes it go!

[@randycoursey7230]

I had a friend in high school who owned a 64 Falcon Sprint with a built 289 hypo. That little car was super fast. The 289 is an engine you can really wind out. I was with him when he raced a 396 Chevelle in Salem Oregon. He flat out walked away from that big block Chevy. I couldn't believe how fast that Falcon was. I would later buy a 1964 Comet Cyclone with a 289 hypo. It was all stock but I put a close ratio 4 Speed in it. I still wish I had that Comet Cyclone, you just don't see those cars around anymore.

This is sort of old school drag theory and I love it! Small displacement and lots of revs. I can remember being a boy back in the 80's and going with my dad to the races. I seem to remember 2 speed poweglide setups with manual valve body, with the theory being you have so many revs you only need to shift once. But all of that is a faint memory. I do remember a car that belonged to a friend of my dad. A corvette with a de-stroked 327 (290-ish?) Again, faint memory from childhood but I remember a big tachometer with a red line set around 10K. The diff on that car looked like something out of a Mack truck.

How can you not love this car. First off, a manual trans....who runs a manual trans? Second, no chebbie ls. LS motors are like assholes, everyone has one. Third the rear tires are big but not monsters. Unless you need a humongous tire, the large tire can actually slow the car down. Finally, one of the younger generation enjoying what us old farts always love- lots of rpm and a stick shift. Welcome to the real world!

Not a big ford fan but this little 289 screams. I like it.

[@freedomfirst5420]

That is one screaming 289, Fricken Awesome setup!

[@stevebickley6524]

The owner ofOswald mustang in south carolina would take us for rides in his gt350. It had the same pop to it. I remember the motor was built but the rest of the car was unrestored. It was pretty worn out looking but a great sleeper .

[@CokeeCola]

Literally one of the best ford passes I’ve ever seen

[@thisismerica5721]

A Ford motor, N/A, carbed, stickshift 9 second mustang? This thing checks every one of my boxes.

[@cali2468]

I had a friend in high school with a white '65 coupe, 4-speed K-code (I think it was K-code 🤔) with intake, carb & headers. It ran pretty damn good to be a little 289.

[@bobhoffman5581]

Hi-Po, no doubt. 271hp, bone stock...

[@scottb8175]

Non-Shelby K-codes were and are extremely rare. In years of being an engine builder, enthusiast, and commited Ford 60-73 muscle car fan, I only saw one non-Shelby K-code engine. Came out of a rusted 65 GT coupe. And it was then swapped into a Pinto(!). The rest were plentiful by comparison - low, medium, high risers, SOHC's, Boss 302, 351, 9's, SCJ's.....

@@scottb8175 My first car at 16 was a 66 Mustang GT K code coupe with a 3 speed cruise o matic, I wish I had never sold it.

[@55555711]

its pretty cool to see a little 289 run this strong awesome car if i could i would buy one sweet car

[@NeilLB7]

Stock Eliminator and Super Stock Eliminator isn’t your typical bracket racing. There are many classes with many more combinations allowed. It’s not cheap by ANY means if you want to compete. Even attending the national events in itself is expensive. This is what Pro-Stock Eliminator was born from. But Pro-Stock being a heads up class…old iron can’t compete like these cars. I must say these classes are true to the sport. Even the low classes are so very competitive. And the drivers and builders really truly know what they’re doing. The engines in the faster classes are incredibly expensive to build. Because they are making big power with limitations like stock heads and stock carbs. The blueprinting here is off the charts.
