My kinda first car was a white 65 Mustang 289 2V, I paid $15. For it. Me and 6 kids pushed it 2 blocks to get it to my mom's house. When I got there Mom said you're to young to buy a car. So I sold it for $40. To another school friend the car needed a battery and a carb. He got it running a few days later with my help. He was 15 and was only allowed to go up and down his driveway. A few months later it got a rod knock.

That wheel fitment is what always gets me with your car! Just perfect...

Very impressive performance! 300hp is just about perfect for a cruiser/daily driver. Sounds awesome and it's fast enough to have fun but not get into too much trouble!

as a long hot rodder. 50 years. my advice to you is dont worry about the hp. unless you are wealthy you will always be outclassed by car owners who have a bigger budget to spend on cars. been there done that, mustangs have always been my favorite . ive been blessed to have many examples in my lifetime focus on the fact you own a classic car . make it what you want but dont think you have a speed demon. jmop looks and a good sounding ride was my aim . youll save money and be happy. good luck my young friend. thanks for the vid

It sounds very healthy! Really good throttle response. It sings when you let it! Very nice! As always, great video

That should get you pretty close to 3v performance. That’s really good for a 60’s V8. Plenty to have fun with on the street.

Great video Ben! As always! Fitech seem to be great solution for older classics Im puttng a system on an old bronco

The video we all have been waiting for !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 FEEL BAD FOR THE WORKERS?!! Are you kidding me?!!! That was the background music for the day !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Its refreshing to see you are going about this the rite way most start off by adding power you started with the most important the brakes can't wait for your motor sponsor great job Ben 👍😎👍

Nice Ben! Sounds really good. Quick mustang you got there bro.

I have always liked this car and enjoy your videos of your journey with it. Keep at it Ben.

so awesome that you can run e85 with that system!

That was impressive, for a 289.. That must be helped by those ported heads !!! Grest video!!! Would of been cool, to see what it made with that Holley carb, before the FI Tech install and tune ..? Keep em coming... Video editor by vocation, old car hobbiest by choice, and the benefit of great geography, being so close to all of these awesome aftermarket specialty companies, to have you for a "muse".. I apologize, if I sound, just a little bit jealous of you brother... Your production quality is outstanding... God bless, and remember to thank your father, for giving you the "old car" bug, at such a young age....keep em coming....

Bens Video's Are Always Big Fun & Big Smiles. Keep Up The Most Awesome Work!

My first car was a '65 Mustang GT, 289 4V from the factory. I probably already mentioned it in a previous video. Ended up overhauling it and putting a mild Melling cam in it, and AFX headers. I paid $500 for it in 1973. I remember ordering the headers from JC Penney for $75! Yea, that was another world away. I want my current Mustang, a '73 Mach 1 to sound like yours! Gonna take a lot more $$$ this time around though! PS, my '65 was the same color yours used to be (lol) with white vinyl top and pony interior.

This is bad ass man! I can’t wait to get mine on the dyno!!

Did you happen to know the dyno numbers before the FiTech install? Would of been interesting to see that comparison. Sweet video.

Damn thats badass! Those are great numbers for a mild 289. I bet its makingalot more power than before with the afr dialed in. Ibet the mpg will be decent too. And that was 87 octane...wow!

Love the sound, love the car!

Congrats bro, she sounds wicked!!

Man I love that car, that’s an everyday machine, had one in school, I used to trade my friends Dad cars on a Friday or Sat, I’d take the Lincoln and he’d go act like a kid in my 67’ lol. 289 351 heads, Lunati cam, Torker 2 intake, 650 double pumper , 4 speed Top Loader and 3:73 rear end, probably made close to 400hp so 340 ish at the wheels, no easy access to a dyno in 82’ ,perfect little pony I miss it bad 🐾✌️🇺🇸

New subscriber...Great videos. I'm really impressed by these Dyno numbers. I'm running roller 302 with Sniper and headers and am only putting around 217 at the wheels. I have a similar intake as well. Are your heads ported? Do you happen to know your cam specs? I personally think 250 rwhp is rather perfect for a stock-ish chassis/rear end. Great job man and looking forward to more vids.

Awesome Ben ya come along way mate 👍 I love fitech Iv ran one on my turbocharged 1965 pontiac for 8 years now chalk and cheese compared to blow through carburetor

I just got my first car recently and I love these old muscle car so much your mustang is beautiful

I would have liked a before Dyno run to compare. Very cool though. I wish they had a tank like that for my Torino. I’d get the whole kit as well. Thanks for sharing this.

Man thats awesome! I need to bring my 65 up there for tuning 😂

Just had my car dynoed too! My 69 mustang is making about 430 to the tire with a 351 windsor. A blast to drive around.

Sounds great! Nice video! You need to find out from the prior owner what cam is in it!! I'm trying to plan my 65 5-speed coupe build

Perfect amount of power to have some fun without getting in too much trouble.

Shout out to FiTech! System looks impressive and seemed to perform well on the dyno.

Really solid numbers! What cam are you running?

Damn that car sounds so good

Ben do you still have a big gear or did you go back to a more highway friendly gear? Sounds fantastic. Looking forward to more videos.

I'm very curious... What cam did you install in that nasty little 289??😊

That's decent power coming from that little 289 cant wait to see what you do next

I enjoyed the video I can't wait for the next one!

This is not normally what I’d like but this is such a good sounding solid setup

My buddy put a FITECH system on his 34 Ford with a 400 SBC. I'm very impressed with the system. He has driven it with the system for about 5 years and put maybe 20K miles on it. It still runs great.

This is one of the coolest Mustangs I've ever seen. It's a daily driver and its driven FAST. It sees some abuse and that's simply covered up with green spray paint.... cool, like I said, but i've been conditioned to only accepting pro paints jobs, which takes me back to my days as a mustang owner... a 1965 fastback 289 and a 4-speed stuck in the back of a barn and surrounded by 10 other mustangs... Klodt's Mustangs, in SE Iowa.

Dude!!! Awesome numbers!!! 🇺🇸💪🏼 would love to see the gain on E85.

sounds great !! do your remember which cam youre running ?

Good job Ben 👍

Right on for power and just 12 low on trq. I'm happy with that.

I think I met Jeremy at SEMA back in 2016, sure looks like the guy I talked to. 255 is pretty good for a 289/302. I'd feel kinda miffed if one of my Pontiacs made that much, but they are also at least 100cubes larger, most of them are 455s or stroked 400 blocks that are now 461-467ci. Try the E85, you will like the power you get from it, and you will be able to feel the difference.

Love that car!!

Great video!

a solid 250 to the wheels in a light 65-66 is really all u need to have fun. car seems to get up and go no problem, as well. i just installed sniper efi on my 65 and it keeps getting better and better as u drive it

Ben, what is your cam profile? Great job. I just picked up a 66 Mustang A code fastback, 4speed, factory GT option.

Nice gains!!!

Daily car of my dreams. Pure eargasm. Cheers from Italy where the gas price is almost 2 euros x liter 😅😅😅

even if you port those stock heads , that alone should net you a decent gain without spending $1200-3000 on some alum heads ! this thing is going to be one fun lil street car ! congrats man ! ive got a 95 gt thats fully gutted that makes around 300 to the tires. keep the vids coming ! love seeing the vids of this 65 !

Can't wait for the one year update and mileage report.

Ohhh man you give me hope just picked up a 289, stock head, performer 289 4 barrel manifold so its good to see a recent benchmark on one of the most bitching sounding sbf on the tube. Definitely looking into the black widow mufflers now.

What’s your exhaust system? I have a 67 289 with stock headers and pipes and flow master mufflers. Yours definitely sound better than mine.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Ben Kahan deserves more subscribers

NICE 🔥🔥🔥 more power is nice but keep in mind the cost is longevity and MPG, just my opinion but I'd enjoy it the way it is. And I'd stay off E85 and on 87 with some fuel cleaner once in a while

Hell yeah new video during a lunch break 😎

What cam grind are you running….i plan on adding an efi setup on my 67 mustang with a 289 and 300hp is perfect….

Cool video and nice stang

First off FItech is a well known product I've seen Fitech on some fairly big doallar builds but to have your kit put on and dyno tune by the founder owner of the company to you I say Right On !!

Looks and sounds great, I am going to install the Fitech on my car hauler soon. GOD BLESS THE. HOMELESS VETERANS!!!

Wow, @3:43 - 25k+ rpm at 74 mph - you've go some craaaaazzzzy deep gearing!

What cam are you running ben?

What cam are you running?

What cam do you use?

it does sound good!

I may have to try fitech out on my 66 mustang

Your car sounds good even rolling off idle. Almost has a big block deep throaty sound at lower RPM. Does the FiTech make it easy to tune for E85? It'd be cool to see the difference if so. I know some guys re-time when they switch, but rejetting can be annoying. Pushing a button or setting a saved tune would be much sweeter.

Sounds good!

Awesome!

Down the line I would really like to see what kind of mileage you are getting with the FiTech system. I like to see the great service that a local company is willing to give as well so props to FiTech.

🔔😎🇺🇸 Nice. What tire sizes? I went 5.0 HO fuelie T5 in 1995. Really love it.👍

what cam do you run right now????

Love the build. I have two of these cars. Seems like an optimistic dyno. Stock heads suck on the 289, unless they have the heart shaped combustion chamber and ported to the max. 300hp should be good for mid-13s at the track with a good tire, I say take it out there and let it rip for the next video. One of my cars has almost this exact same build with a carb and it runs mid 14s, so probably in the mid 200s at the crank.

Have done torque box install on the green machine?

Your 65' makes enough horse power to have fun but not get into too much trouble 🏁

Nice now a decent set of heads woul cut weight and get you way more power. Nice ride man.

I have a FITEC in my 67 Plymouth FURY Comando SPORT III 383. Mine need help, thinking of going to a Deamon Carb now.

It sounds like your engine is built similar to what a K code was so that seems like pretty accurate power numbers for your engine build

A or C code 289? Very impressive numbers! I've got a 289 "K" code and I wonder what kind of numbers it would put down.

Hey I have a 66 coupe and ready to pick tires and wheels. What size do you suggest?

Very healthy small block with street manors. Hopefully, fuel economy will increase with the EFI. It would be nice to know before and after since some folks with EFI claim poor fuel economy.

Hell yeah! 🔥💪💯🤞

You should run it on 87, 93, and e85. Compare on the dyno and review them after daily driving (including mpg).

A healthy and capable 289 engine!

I know people are saying "Only 255HP ( 300 at the crank )" but thats a sub 2600 pound car. I owned a 289 65 mustang and 0-60 is done in sub 6 seconds in those cars. Think about that for a minute. To the owner of this car. Ditch those rims. Friends Dad is a insurance investigator and he saw those rims ALL the time ... Broken. I had a set ( this was 20+ years ago ) and when he saw them he was like " You know those rims "break" right? lol He showed me like 30 photos of them where they sheared off the Barrel.

very impressive power for a 289! There is no way even a bored 289 block give so much power, even with modern intake and cam changed because the engine must breathe. Your heads have been ported for sure, maybe bigger valves.

❤ 👍🙏 great job bud

What kind of gearing do you have in the rear? That makes a big difference too. Now that you have been bitten by the power bug, time to start saving for all the goodies. Maybe a huffer or turbo. Those butterflies sticking above the hood really look cool! Once my son got 400hp to the wheels, his bank account started draining. Keep banging those gears.

big time healthy sounds!

3:07 Why feel bad? I’m sure they love it! It’s what they do after all haha

Man this MAKES ME miss my '64...

Cool video, 255 Horsepower at the rear wheels is not bad. How much compression do you have? What Camshaft are you using? At what type of mufflers are you running, I ran FlowMaster dual chamber on my past 1966 A code Mustang Fastback and they were a bit too loud for me, I wish I could have fit three chamber FlowMaster's. Magna Flow's are also nice sounding, and sound mellow at idle. To use Flex fuel E85 don't you need a Stainless Steel or Plastic Gas Tank so you don't corrode the factory steel one?

I was gonna go holly sniper, maybe Ill check these out!! Dude hell yes wanna see flex fuel. Holly sniper you have to increase the displacement to get it correct, so is there an E85 setting???

I'd set my RPM limiter to 5500, it will be nice to see a 3 month up date, as far as gas mileage goes & the noticeable HP response.

300hp out of a mostly stock 289 is doing great!

What kind of mpg are you getting after switching over?

Impressive!

Makes me feel better about my 4.6 2v
