You should have mentioned putting anti-seize on all the threads. As a 70 year old mechanic , I have used anti-seize anywhere bolts and nuts are exposed to the weather or near coolant . I have also avoided using worm clamps because they tear into the hoses and cause a leak . I have always used tower clamps or T-Bolt clamps because they give a full 360 clamping grip and have a neater and cleaner look to my work . Otherwise I do like your videos !

The pump in the video is a 1432N, I ended up using it on another 289, and Im using the 1432 aluminum version on my car now.

Good aftermarket early pumps should use a cast iron impeller. Take a look at Milodon 16330 or Edelbrock 8847, those are the only performance minded pumps for the early cover. The Milodon uses a GMB housing, GMB pumps are fine, but just a stock replacement.

Also, early pumps ‘62-65 are getting harder to come by. They aren’t super popular and don’t sell nearly as many units as the ‘66-77 passenger inlet pumps.

Hi Walter first of all thanks for all your videos very helpful. What do you think of a fan clutch on a 1966 289 hipo?
@TheGT350Garage
2 жыл бұрын
I generally reserve clutch type fans for air conditioned cars, the fit on a ‘65-66 is TIGHT. There’s barely enough room for fitment. It will allow a 17” 7-blade fan, and when the car needs the airflow, it would provide it, but in my experience, it’s really not necessary. The 17” 6-blade flex fans usually cool really well, and of course the final part is the correct timing and fuel delivery. Reach out to my through direct message or email thegt350garage@gmail.com for some specific additional information regarding HiPo distributors.

If that is a real Shelby why wouldn't you take the time to find an original pump and get it rebuilt? There is a place that offers rebuild services and they reproduce the original hi-po impeller. No brainer no matter what they charge.

What ratio of anti freeze do you recomendc
@TheGT350Garage
3 ай бұрын
50/50 is ideal for most areas. In warmer climates a minimum 40% antifreeze to 60% water, cold climates a maximum of 60% antifreeze to 40% water. The ratio varies and changes the final coolant efficiency, outside of those ranges you actually loose protection from boiling and freezing.

Did you put the grey gasket maker on both sides of the thermostat gasket?
@TheGT350Garage
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, but just enough of a smear to cover the gasket surface, not enough to get into the thermostat or cooling system. And in no way am I sponsored by them, but Permatex Ultra Grey is where it’s at, it seals everything perfectly, every time. In fact, you could lay a 3/16” bead around the thermostat housing and it would seal without a gasket, incredibly good product.

The 6-cylinder is a little different than the V8 because there is really only one path and the coolant actually travels past 50% more cylinders. You still need more radiator capacity than stock, but the thermostat is a little trickier, a 190-195 thermostat may cause the rear cylinders to run hotter than desired, but that should be your starting point, there would be no reason to run a thermostat cooler than 180. Most importantly, run a high flow water pump. flowkoolerwaterpumps.com/products/1641-1960-1975-170-200-221-ford-water-pump

Can you assist me with a timing chain cover and water pump? 302 from 96 explorer as it is going into my 65. I’m having a hard time finding the correct direction flow with dipstick up front.
@TheGT350Garage

Take all of the Explorer stuff off, timing cover, water pump, balancer, accessories, put it on Facebook marketplace for sale. Use a ‘65-67 289 timing cover (I like the California Pony Cars ENG-000-408) with a bolt on pointer so you can adjust the location of TDC if needed. Use the Tuff Stuff iron or aluminum water pump for a passenger side inlet. You’ll need a Summit SUM-163302 harmonic balancer to match that crankshaft with the early front dress. You’ll also need an early front sump oil pan and pickup, and a dipstick and tube for the front cover. You’ll have to plug the hole in the oil pan rail. You’ll need an alternator, alternator bracket set, alternator spacer, water pump pulley, and 3-bolt crank pulley, all need to fit ‘65-67 289 engines. The final need will be a 50oz imbalance flywheel or flex plate compatible with your transmission of choice. Headers need to fit Mustang, you won’t be able to use the Explorer stuff and you won’t want to. Find an old Crane 2030 Compucam, upgrade the valve springs, install 1.6 roller rockers and a roller timing chain while you’re in there, top it with your choice of dress up and induction parts to run EFI or a carburetor, and you should be all set up.

What do you think about sacrificial anodes in aluminum radiator? Do you run one with yours?
@TheGT350Garage
3 жыл бұрын
There is nothing wrong with installing and using a sacrificial anode, however, they aren’t entirely necessary when you use the correct coolant and monitor the condition annually. The sacrificial anode is there to give up electrons when the coolant becomes too acidic. You can check the coolant with a voltmeter to see if it is conducting voltage, a test strip to check the pH level, or a hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the coolant. It’s always best to stay proactive, and as much as an anode is a proactive measure, it also encourages putting off the other checks I mentioned due to a false sense of security it gives. An annual check of coolant condition and addition of a tablespoon of baking soda to the coolant to correct the pH is often the best approach. Be sure to change the coolant on the correct interval to maintain a working additive package. If you’re not sure what coolant you are running or how old it is, flush it thoroughly and switch to one of the ELC coolants I recommended in the video.

@TheGT350Garage

The 1962 to early 1965 221/260/289/289 HiPo used a different pump and timing cover arrangement with no steel backing plate and the pumps had ears that directed coolant flow into the timing cover. I show these in the water pump and timing cover videos I made. The later ‘65-67 289 HiPo pumps were interchangeable with pumps from ‘65-69 289/302/351W. Basically if it’s a passenger side inlet pump and the pump uses the steel backing plate they interchange. The ‘62-69 221/260/289/289HiPo/302/351W all used a 3-bolt crankshaft damper and pulley. Now, the ‘70-79 302/351W driver side inlet pumps share the same timing cover and water pump gaskets, but the cast in timing pointer went away on the driver side of the timing cover in favor of a bolt-on stamped steel pointer that was used until 1993 on cars and 1996 in E/F Series and Bronco. These are also easily identifiable by their 4-bolt crankshaft pulley and thicker dampers. The reversed rotation “serpentine” setups appeared in ‘79 and complicated things, because some dual serpentine belt systems used a standard rotation pump on LTDs and F-Series. The 89-93 Thunderbird, 94-95 Mustang, and ‘96-01 Explorer use variations of a short water pump arrangement and don’t interchange.
