A good friend of mine came over this weekend with his 65 mustang. Its a nice restoration with the "hot" 289 in it. I helped him tune it up and we took it out for a rip. I was surprised at how gutless it was even with all the bolt on upgrades. My old bone stock 340's would have put that motor to shame and I'm sure my Dads 273 commando barracuda would have eaten that thing alive. Were all the "hot" 289's turds back in those days? I took him out for a rip in my dart and sent him home sliding into depression. I kind of feel bad about it now LOL.
