Hey man!! Sorry to hear about the engine issues. I have done a ton of 79-04 engine swaps and with the hoist you have in your shop you can get the engine and transmission out in 4-5 hours from dropping it threw the bottom. And just bolt the k member back in after you take rhe engine out and you can roll the vehicle around. You will love unbolting those headers off the engine while sitting on the floor instead of in the car. Good luck with your build

Love the longer videos. I'm looking forward to watching you bring this back to its former glory.

Thanks for another awesome video Chris! I always enjoy them. Cant wait see this project mature. I also really enjoyed your mini bike video.

Level headed and mature approach to a surprise, if expect nothing less. Looking forward to the upcoming content, sorry that it's more than you expected!

This is going to be a long ride. And I’m here for it.

I also dont mind the long videos, watching you wrench on cool cars is better than any junk Netflix has to offer. Such a variety and you dont skip over the real stuff and only show the bling. Its good to see the down and dirty of project cars because thats what its all about. Keep up the awsome content that motivates us to get off our asses and work on our own junk..lol

I can’t wait to follow this rebuild? I’ve been antes to get more information on pulling my 03 Mach 1 motor and someday adding the cobra parts so this will be very informative and fun to watch!

Also, I just moved back to PA from NH. Figures I’d find you channel after the fact. It was lonely up there by myself, would’ve been nice to have a fellow mechanically inclined friend. And I do agree, it is nice and peaceful there with all the space, even though PA is still country, it feels like a big city now. Still not as bad as when I lived in Scottsdale AZ. That’s crazy busy.

I love your videos and the length of them! I’m dialed in the whole time.

just found the channel and following this build. Love it so far. Subbed!

I had a feeling from the first video that this thing was going to be a bigger project than expected. Don't be surprised when this car costs you two or three times what you estimated (just throw your wallet at it). New Sub here to get updates on the tear down and build up of this car. Good luck, sir.

These videos make my day. Thanks man!

Like everything else you’ve worked on Chris, I have absolutely no doubt this car will turn out spectacular 👍🏻 Looking forward to living vicariously through you here on you tube! 😂 Have a great week!

Love the channel 🔥. Im addicted, cant get enough. What u did with the 69 is amazing. Keep it coming.

CHRIS A GREAT PROJECT FOR YOU OVER THE WINTER !!! AND WHEN YOU FINISH WITH IT ,YOU'LL BE PROUD ,WITH ALL OF YOUR FINISHED COBRA !! KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMING !! JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS

keep it up brother !! you're making my V6 proud.

Easiest way to tell a magnum…factory has a 4 bolt shifter plate and a magnum has 6. Also the rear end is piece together, torque boxes are hacked with an attempt to mend it. It’s an 8.8 with UPR uppers, Max Motorsport lowers, Team Z bracing. There’s a video on our channel explaining some of the issues. But! I like the beater versions, they’re fun to build and race.

Just a suggestion. Drop the subframe, engine and trans together. Seperate them, out the engine in a stand Put the subframe back in. From experience, it's a lot easier (In my experience) to go out through the bottom

​@@boosted_red8294 Ever work on one ? If you got a hoist, dropping the powertrain is WAY better. Just like a 4th gen F body......

I agree with previous comment...likely a SPEC clutch. Bell is cracked. Also, NOT a factory rear end. 03/04 Cobra's came with an IRS. That is NOT a factory IRS. Appears to be a welded Explorer or Mustang 8.8 rear-end with modified (Skinny Kid racecars or similar) torque boxes. Solid upper control arm bushings. Great control arms (upper and lowers). Aftermarket aluminum driveshaft. Rear looks beefy though (welds are pretty terrible) and the subframe looks slightly bent. Check for rear-end gears (3.90s were popular). Front springs are factory. Clutch cable is a non-adjustable OEM replacement. Upper pulley and billetflow idler pulley on the blower. Stock Cobra throttle body, unmodded EGR tree. Oil spooge on the piston tops could also mean a leaky blower seal. Check to make sure there is no oil on the blower rotors. Coming from the Cobra world, this car sadly has some issues.

Great Content! Can't wait to see what's next.

Dude I randomly came across your channel when looking up mustang shit. First video I watched was you picking up this stang from my state. No not all of Jersey is like what you experienced getting it lol. I'm hooked and subbed. Love that body style mustang and the color is bad ass.........same as my 03 f250 v10. Can't wait to see where this build goes.

I enjoy this channel/content far more than almost all other car channels on the tube. Albeit far from perfect (due to piss poor sports teams & fords) but this is definitely my go to for sports/muscle car content! Keep it up Chris, you da Man! Oh just a suggestion, get a quality camera (not a GoPro/iPhone) for future content. It makes a big difference, IMO. Aloha! 🤙🏽

Killin it bro, the fleet is sickkk!

Awsome video... cant wait to see the next steps for the motor!

I know you will do this car right like u do always spot on love your work your a pro great job

Probably never got a head cooling mod. Drivers side head doesn’t get much coolant flow from factory which leads to high temps normally resulting in head tick/valve issues but can also fry rings after years of abuse which this car clearly had. Get the heads decked valves done do the rings and the head cooling mod. And if you’re on a budget I recommend 98-99 cobra cams they have more lift intake and exhaust duration so will make more power with more boost. Do all new gaskets and studs and a billet oil pump gears and you’re set. Take it out of the bottom by the way. Or else you are in for a nightmare.

Oh boy, you got your hands full! But I subbed cuz I can't wait to see her back on the road!

Never seemed to idle smooth. I heard the miss the first time you fired it up. I told my son who was watching with me "That thing has a miss". I guarantee he knew and just wanted to wash his hands of the car because of it. But like you said, it has enough extras to justify the price so you did good. Can't wait to see the tear down!

Try a wet compression test. You said you looked at that car a couple years ago, if it’s been sitting for a while the rings may be a little stuck. A wet compression test will let you know if it’s rings or a hole in the piston/valve train issue.

First thing he showed was a cylinder leakdown test bro........

Great video as always man! I think I would've tried one thing before taking the engine out though. I'd put a mix of transmission fluid and WD40 in that cylinder to see if the rings were just stuck. Not exactly kosher but, worth a shot anyway.

Solid rear axle conversion cobras it takes away what made part of them special in my opinion

We have a problem??? No, you have a problem.....but I like watching you solve them. Keep up the good work. Please try a C5 Corvette.

Hey Chris just discovered your channel. I feel for you on the "something always goes way wrong" no laughing at you here. Good luck I can't wait to see you restore this awesome car.

first bud i’ve ever seen of urs smashed the subscribe good video

Been waiting for this upload since you first bought the car. Amazing video bro 🫡

i have an 03 sonic blue f250 7.3 which was my dream truck and the sonic blue cobra is my dream car to have the matching set would be amazing my truck is the last year of 7.3 and the rare color like this dream car you have . cant wait to watch this series and live vicariously through you with my dream mustang lol .

What you have going for you is you have a forged crank you have manly rods which you can just simply upgrade the bolts to arp 2000 and grab a higher compression pistons and a good ring pack Very budget-friendly Cobra rebuild

You have completely won if that trans is in the works man 👏👏 but overall priceless parts my guy 🔥💯💯

This mans everything is the stuff men like us love, and I'm working on getting for myself! I want some land with an old air strip and a hanger, then convert it to my own personal car garage and test strip. Very cool setup, and it gives me nothing but motivation!

I had a beautiful black 2003 Cobra. Added a Whipple with all the supporting mods, and swapped out all the rear IRS bushings with Full Tilt Boogie Racing Delrin bushings. I owned it for 8 years, garage kept, and only had 22,000 miles on it when I sold it. The moron I sold it to swapped the IRS with a friend's 8.8" solid axle out of a GT. He then completely ruined the car by treating it like hell. I truly hope someone saves it someday like what your doing.

Nothing to laugh about it. Its great content, I wish I had the half of the skills, knowledge and experience you have. (And garage so I dont work on my stuff in the driveway) I learn a lot from you! Keep it up.

I noticed your tee shirt from Suck Bang Blow Murrells Inlet SC. We go down every spring for Harley week and camp at Lakewood Campground. Even though I don’t have a Harley as of yet but maybe a three wheeler Harley down the road. We love going down and checking out all the Harley’s.

Sorry for your pocketbook but I’m looking forward to the project! Dealt with my crank pulley 2 years ago, not sure how but the “forged” hex bit broke off inside the pulley. Ended up taking a brass punch and just kept hitting the ears of the pulley and it finally popped loose. I’ve seen a few flywheel tools to help keep the flywheel in place when the engines out.
