## Description

A star is born! Series production of the first generation of the Ford Mustang began in 1964. Since then, the &#x201C;pony car&#x201D; has become the epitome of the American sports car. What made this legendary automobile with its emblematic running horse on the radiator grille so distinctively charming was its sporty image combined with high-performing, reliable technology under the hood. This package is your key to the automotive American Dream! Build a transparent, functional model of the formidable V8 engine from the 1965 Ford Mustang. The enhanced 289 K-Code V8 High Performance engine produced a captivating 271 HP at 6,000 revolutions per minute, and a maximum torque of 321 lb-ft (423 Newton meters) at 3,400 rpm. The Kit: The assembly kit uses a scale of around 1:3 and contains approximately 200 individual pieces. In two to three hours, you&#x2019;ll build a finely detailed, transparent Ford Mustang 289 K-Code V8 model engine. All of the model parts move exactly as they do on the original, life-size model. The components fit together easily, either as interlocking pieces or with screws &#x2013; no glue required. The Manual: The Ford Mustang kit comes with an exclusive 100-page booklet, complete with top-notch details and numerous stunning illustrations that guide you through the history of the Ford Mustang while outlining the technology that lies under the hood. The handbook contains a detailed and generously illustrated step-by-step guide that will lead you through the construction of the engine kit with clear instructions. This is not a toy! Not suitable for children under 14 years. Additionally required: 3 x 1.5 V batteries (AA)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fun and educational!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2019*

Great gift for car people, Ford mustang fans, or anyone interested in the way engines work! The engine kit arrived right on time in good order and my son and I had a blast putting it together. He’s 11, but pretty much knocked it out on his own. The Book that comes with it is beautiful and goes into the history of the car and a bit about American car manufacturing. The finished model is mesmerizing when it’s running, and the level of detail is amazing. All the parts went together and moved smoothly. We both learned a ton about how engines work by actually assembling one and seeing just how all the insides move . Super educational and very very cool. 5 out of 5 stars!

I would like to see additional items added to the parts list such as the Starter Motor, add the Thermostat Housing for the top Radiator Hose and the connection on the Water Pump for the Bottom Radiator Hose and include the Hoses, A separate and accurate Intake Manifold and Carburetor, the Coil,  more accurate detail in the Air Cleaner Filter, Optionally add the 1965 Shelby GT350 Cobra Small Letter Intake Manifold, Cobra Open Letter Valve Covers, Cobra Open Letter Oil Pan, and Holley 715 Carburetor for us 1965 Shelby lovers.

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020*

My husband wanted to build a engine kit with his boys, since he did with his father at a young age. He was so impressed with how wonderfully built this kit was and how technology has vamped up these kits to such an impressive level. This truly was an experience.
