Ford Mustang 1965 Fastback 289 V8 Four-speed Test Drive

Rev up your nostalgia with the 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback, where classic meets muscle. Under the hood, the original 289 V8 roars with modern tweaks like Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads and Comp Extreme Energy camshaft, delivering a hearty 330 HP. Add in some Pypes Violator mufflers, and you’ve got a symphony of power and performance. This lightweight beast is not just a pretty face; it’s a speedy thrill ride ready to leave rubber on the road—and a big grin on your face!

It’s powered by the original A-code 289 V8, but it has been balanced and blueprinted, milled to a zero deck, and topped with some Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads. It also features a Comp Extreme Energy camshaft with 266in/270ex duration and .493in/.500ex lift, 1.6 ratio rockers, an Edelbrock RPM intake, and an Edelbrock 600 cfm four barrel carb. The exhaust is comprised for long tube headers, an x-pipe, and Pypes Violator mufflers. It made 330 HP and 350 Lb-ft of torque on the dyno. In a car this light, that makes it pretty quick!
