289 First Start - 6 Cylinder to 289 Conversion - Episode 18

Today at Alf's Mustang Garage is an exciting day. We finally get to start up the 289 that we have converted this car to. This car started life out as a 6 cylinder and has now been fully converted to a 289 V8. We walk through some of the steps we take to get this car started up for the first time.
