- More progress on the not-so-cheap cobra! Found a SCREAMING deal on a fully built Teksid motor for the cobra locally, so I scooped that up and started putting it together to work in the 03-04 cobra chassis. Plus, we paint some parts and get ready to get the motor back in the car. Lots more to come!

This channel is great, one man show, all the details, all the labor, all the skills hes got. what a life, do your thing dude
Glad you enjoy it!
You ain't kidding.
Doing everything himself and just knowing little things like the threading on the spark plugs, what bolts up on the block and what don't on a different block.
I always thought it was just aluminum or a cast iron block, never knew there was a completely lighter and stronger different material block made.
That man is pretty dam smart
@@ChrisSullivan69is they out c6
The best.
Hey body maybe you can help me I have a 2005 corvette base model with a third Jen block built v2t supercharger and methanol producing 850whp but I'm having a issue with over heating I put double fans and still keep getting hot any pointers.
Man, the Cobra is turning out awesome Chris! Thanks for hitting us up for parts and we're excited to see how the build looks complete! Also, painting the valve cover Sonic Blue was 100% the move!🔥
You guys rock!!
Late model resto! 💪💪💪
Good job picking LMR over Lethal Performance. LP would have told you they had the parts in stock and then made you wait months only to tell you they actually didn't have them in stock 😒
@@racequad9lol Facts!
LMR is 🔥
This channel is top notch. Clear audio. Music backing tracks that aren't blasting you out of the desk. Video of car parts with close detail. Clear explanations of whats going on and what's planned. Appreciate ya man.
Appreciate you too 🤝
Also Chris, while you're at it, one of the 'must do' things with these cars is replace the passenger side secondary tensioner. It is an incorrect design from SVT. Cobra Engineering makes the correct one out of billet aluminum. Ask James about it. A very worthy upgrade in probably everyone's opinion who rebuilds the engine in these cars.
Bro. Like I can’t stress it enough such amazing content you put out Chris. I honestly have so much respect and admiration for the dedication and the work you put in all these cars. That being says your videos are so awesome the editing background music even the little jokes here and there. Spot on my man and also thank you I learned so much from watching you.
Appreciate it bro! Thanks for watching
Love your videos man! I'm still trying to come to grips that 03/04 Cobras are 20 years old now.....Seems just unreal to me how fast those years flew. I remember hearing all the rumors about these late '01-early '02 and then seeing them come out and how well they responded to pulley swaps, tunes, exhaust etc.
The reason they were so legendary is because of their potential. What they did stock was also impressive for that time especially at their price range but their legendary status isn't because of that its the potential they had. They kept breaking rods in testing so they were forced to throw in manly h beam rods factory which costed them alot more because factory rod tech wasn't good then they hadn't figured out how to make them strong yet cheaper yet like they did with the 07 up gt500 and coyotes later on. They were powder forged and can still take some good power but not as much as the h beam obviously they're actually forged. So because of the engine being so overbuilt you can just throw whatever at it like modern cars but it's 20 years old. People are spoiled now you can just buy a base gt and make alot this wasn't the case in 2003. These things were so far ahead of their time. I was 19 when they first dropped summer 02 never forget it
Bro your channel is blowing up. Clean well edited content. Enjoyable to watch.
Appreciate it brotha 🤝
I totally agree. I never have watched an hour long video all the way through! Did today! Lol. Nice job man!
Nice work Chris. Cobra guy here and been here since the beginning. Your content is awesome. One thing that I wanted to add since I’ve been down the cobra rebuild route is make sure to pull apart your oil cooler and flush out the inner cartridge multiple times with cleaner then multiple times with hot oil. I would hate to see you run sparkles into that perty new engine. Keep rolling bud, good stuff.
The oil cooler had me worried too. A few years back Sean Hyland made a CD, "How to rebuild the Ford 4.6 Engine". In the section on Inspection at the 3:00min mark, he recommends replacing the oil cooler and suggests that it is not rebuildable. If it were my car I wouldn't risk it. I look forward to Chris's videos, especially the Terminator ones, they are exceptionally well done.
The 4.6L DOHC block is a 6 bolt main. It’s a killer block. 4 on each main cap and 1 on the side of the block into the main. Definitely an under appreciated engine. I miss my 03 Mach 1. I look forward to watch your build. Keep up the good work.
I am so happy I found this channel!! I got recommended one of your videos a couple weeks ago, and have binged almost all your videos! Love the clean meticulous work you do! Another RUclips channel that I think would be perfect to collab with is Michael Sabo! He works almost exclusively on quads, but the similarities of both your channels is crazy! He recently bought a Corvette that was in a flood, and I think a collab build would continue to blow both your channels up! Anyways, can’t wait to see you continue to gain subscribers and have your channel grow! You definitely deserve it!
Appreciate it very much. 🤙🤙
Your comment on the imperfections of the valve covers.
Being a novice in the extreme that I am…. I think it looks bad ass!. It looks mean! with the little imperfections you called out in the video… love sonic blue too…. outstanding…thank you.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I enjoy your content!!!!
Welcome!
Love the content and appreciate your knowledge about Ford & Chevy !
Would love to see more of the engine/ car assembly footage. Even sped up a little is great! Getting this content out, edited, is a job of its own. Great Job!
HOOOOW can you not have more subscribers and views, your channel is literally my favourite on youtube atm. Love your videos, always looking forward for the next to see your progress. Please never stop.
Thank you so much!!
Holy crap! NEVER heard of a tighten/tighten/loosen/tighten/tighten/tighten sequence before! Learn something new everyday apparently lol
Just found this channel a couple of weeks ago, when you brought the Cobra home. Quickly became one of my favorite channels.
Came across your video at just the right time. Building the engine in my 2005 Aviator. Vapor blasted all the aluminum parts. Powder coated blue the valve and timing covers. Almost the same shade of blue as yours. Replacing all timing components, new valves, lash adjusters, roller followers and Comp cams stage one cams. $$$ Sourcing parts from MMR, Rock Auto, Summit Racing and Jegs. Thanks for showing some part numbers for additional parts I am currently ordering. Love these engines but they are very expensive to build.
Really good stuff enjoying the vids. Would suggest doing head studs. That way when you get a bigger blower (you're going to as they are magic on built motors) you don't have to go pulling the car apart to do the studs. Skip the 8740 and just go straight to 2000's. Also, on the extra timing cover bolt hole for the Teksid, if you flip around the Cobra Engineering drill fixture, it will perfectly line up one of the holes where you need to drill into the block. You only need about 10-12mm of depth. 15mm or more and you risk puncturing through to the water jackets. Then just cut/shorten one of the timing cover bolts and plug the old hole with a set screw and sealant. That's the right way to do it. Also make sure to upgrade the oil pump gears to billet.
Awesome tip my man. I'll check that out. Much appreciated!
52 minutes long?! Bro, thank you!
Man this guy doesn’t mess around! I just watched the tear down the other day and he’s already getting things done 👍🏼👊🏼 subbed.
Appreciate it man!
Cant stress enough about shopping around for deals, cheaper and better platform that is super lucky congrats!
Couldn't agree more!
Just wanna say that. You got skills. An appreciate you filming all this
I never get jealous. But today, that changed. I recently purchased a 98 Cobra and need to rebuilt the engine. Wish I had your talent. Triple
Hopefully the videos give you some inspiration!
Hi Chris, it's nice to see someone who cares about what he's doing. I commend you on your hard work ethics, good for you being able to do everything yourself. I am enjoying the cobra builds, Reminds me of when I was in high school with friends working on our cars. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see how this Sonic Blue build turns out. The Screaming Yellow was great 👍.
Thanks!
I havent been this excited to get onto youtube in a VERY LONG TIME. I love watching your content! Keep it up!!!
Thanks!
Unreal Content. Keep kicking ass Chris, you are amazing.
Wow just wow. This is incredible content and it's long form. My goodness I haven't been this addicted to a channel since idk when.
Thanks for the support 🤝
@@ChrisSullivan69 yeah man. You see 1320s cobra raffle? That was my old terminator I sold to Kyle. I put alot of work into it. I have three others including a sonic blue that's fully built with 9 threads too. That mystichrome was alot of blood sweat and tears. Fun to see it get so much attention though. I'm going to text Kyle your video.
@jbnnm657 that's sick dude that car had gotten a TON of attention. Looks so sick. Nice job on it man
@@ChrisSullivan69 thanks bud. You too.
Just picked up a 03 cobra two weeks ago. A lot of great info here, I been thinking since I've got the car, my next step is building a teksid. You make it look easy though. Jeff saving this vod
look for a new video every night before bed, love your videos brotha keep up the good work! i’ll hopefully have a twin turbo c6 one day definitely a big inspiration to me, and will definitely rewatch you turboing yours!
nice deal.I had my 2004 mach1 5.3L stroker rebuilt. aluminum block was sleeved by the previous owner. Dropped a sleeve. Said screw that and had my tech use the 5.0 big bore block. Installed diamond custom made forged pistons. all forged crank and rods. Pistons sit 1/10,000 in the hole. Rings used are for N/A. went with a melling oil pump. Cometic gaskets yada, yada. waiting to see your complete build. 👍
I’m buying this when he’s done. The attention to detail is A1
That's the same clutch I run in my supercharged 09 gt love it! Came from a spec stage 2 ate that thing up in about 4k miles the rst has held up great feels better too when shifting. I'm only pushing 500 to the wheels though I'm sure your going for 700 plus. Really enjoying this series. Thanks for documenting this.
Right on!
I have a cobra set up also that I want to build with cams to put in a 2009 crown Vic
You get a thumbs up for me every time I come to watch man
After a complete garbage day, getting settled and seeing this upload made it a lot better. I started watching it and thought to myself "Damn, he took my comment about wanting to see every nut and bolt turned seriously" lol. Really enjoying the build so far, this is going to be fun to follow.
Seeing how easy you blasted through that guide pin job, I’m 100% ordering that kit.
Well worth it. Tell them I sent you!
Awesome video bro. So happy to see quality Cobra content on here 🤙🏼💪🏼👍🏼
You know it man!
I miss my 04 Cobra all the time and wish they offered Sonic Blue that year. Can’t wait to see how awesome this turns out. You’re definitely doing it right!
Hell yeah dude I'm all in on this build. Not only because I love my Fords but because I'm 43 and always wanted that year and color Mustang. Sonic blue metallic is just suck a sweet color. I had a 98 cobra in black with the gold racing stripes and a mild build. KB supercharger and a built rear and upgraded clutch with some other odds and ends. I was 20 when I did it so don't quote me but I believe it was about 615 to the wheels. Such a fun car. But I have a 03 f250 6.8 v10 in sonic blue lol.
Heck yeah...my dad has a '53 Ford F100 in sonic blue.
Thanks Chris! Just great honest workmanship
“Hand-Built with Pride, Romeo Michigan”. That’s pretty special to me. An American car and engine made by American employees. Shows me just the quality of work we are capable of.
Love it bro,you already know it's NEVER cheap. This ain't your first rodeo
Sometimes I like to convince myself it will be lol
I love your channel!!!! Very humble an get simple terms!!
Always used KJE for all my machine work. 👏👏. Can't wait to see this one finished.
Awesome! Love to support the local guys
Working your magic again I see. Love the content bro as you know how to process all the details into an elaborate build to this "Cheap" Cobra. This thing is going to be an absolute Beast when it's all done. Still scratching my head as to why those heads are torqued that way.
Much appreciated!
@@ChrisSullivan69 You going to clean up the supercharger the same way for some paint? I think it'd look pretty sick to get that to match in the blue and silver of the engine bay.
Another car to add to the great builds you've had roll through your garage. It really shows everyone what someone with some skill, patients, and an insane amount of ingenuity can do on their own.
If you don’t know those 97 cobra cams make more power than any other factory cam set. That’s what’s on the stroker on my channel. They have a little more lift and do seem to make a good difference. Love the build man 👍👍👍
Nothing but the best from this channel. Always a treat to watch
Man... going through the series late I am glad I was able to see to good news without biting my nails for too long haha! It always seems to work out like this somehow when it's meant to be. Stoked for you, that Teksid block is wicked and with all the time people put into that and the heads, amazing finds!
Loving this Termi build! Thanks for doing these vids!!
Glad you like them!
Greetings Chris, Wow looks like a lot of work, looking forward to see the Outcome. Another Great Video 👍 👍
You sir have a strange knack for finding amazing deals! Not just any deals, but mustang deals. Mustang parts are insanely expensive these days, so it great to see someone who loves these cars like you do find the deals. Keep up the awesome content! 👍🐴
Great work bud! When you revealed the engine and I seen those “B” heads I said “oh sh*t, he’s going turbo” but glad to see you kept with the blower. Winter is surely a challenge getting things done but your gettin it done. This kind of footage helps as a motivator for sure. Looking forward to the next video!
They're in the warehouse!!! The f&f reference was great.
It’s so nice to see someone doing work on my model of car in such great detail! Love the videos!
Glad you like them!
Insane quality of work overall
I really enjoyed this video, I like your straight forward walk us through the process approach. Loved your Screaming Yellow Cobra videos and now hooked on the Sonic Blue build. Love to see you bring back to life an 03/04 Mach 1, 01 Bullitt . Take care!
Hey Chris!
You said that new block was freshly done, cleaned & magnefluxed.... how do they magneflux an aluminum block ?!?!? 😳
Great project.... anxious to see and hear that baby run !!!! Those valve covers look SWEET!
Keep up the great work... great content! 👍🏼
New Chris Sullivan upload got me like.
Yo Chris just found your channel earlier today and watched all the Cobra videos. Great series so far, love that blue.
Glad you like them!
finally man ! i have been opening youtube app 3 times a day waiting for this episode !
Safety glasses while scrubbing....smart man.
glad to see you got a great deal on the motor and heads. she definetly deserves the love. gonna be a awesome cobra when you are done chris. great job as always. valve covers look amazing.
Another fantastic instalment in this Cobra build. Made my morning Chris, thank you.
I'm happy for you! I love cars the same way. Good work.
love this channel. I hope you keep this Cobra and make it faster with some content of course..
Nothing goes better with torquing heads, than an ice cold Miller Lite.
Preach
Dude that’s an insane deal for that. Block
Another amazing video. Really enjoy the editing and detail you put into these. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
Yeah bro, awesome deal on the tesksid block set up. 2200 bucks. I was looking at a 03 Terminator cobra drop out motor , trans t56 , drive shaft and fuel tank for 6k$ from the yard that had it , it was less then 100k miles . Your bottom end is now definitely Stout. Wish you well in your bulid completion. Awesome videos👍
That blue on your c8 just pops, when I get around to building my c6 I may repaint it in that color
Finally a car channel not trying to push corny “merch” and cringe content. Subscribed
Love watching the build process! If you don't know already, don't forget to keep those 98 Cobra cams. The 98 cams are better than the 03/04 Terminator cams. They have better lift and duration. So they are more desired. Also don't forget to get the Cobra engineering head cooling mod. Even though the DB heads have better cooling. They are still subject to the same issue as the earlier heads. Well worth the hundred dollars. Especially since the motor is out and everything is easily accessible.
This build is turning into one if my favorites!! I can't wait for the next video!!👍👍💪💪
Just came across this channel. Excellent work and super clean. Subscribed
Thanks and welcome!
Super sick deals Chris! Can’t wait to see how project Blue unfolds. Your music montages always remind me of “Regular Show” - such a dope cartoon!
03 cobra is one of my favorites. I had a white convertible one back in 2010 but sadly lost it:(
Thinking of getting another or a mach1. Love the content n car!
Chris you ought to do a video about yourself ....Like i know you're a professional guy by day , but your wrenching skills are amazing too!! that's pretty rare these days !
You're a machine Chris ...the new motor definitely will be 1000% better than what came out . The Sonic blue looks great on the valve covers ...great job !! We will be hearing it run in the not so distant future !!
I’m not a ford guy at all. Actually don’t like anything ford except for these svt mustangs. But love watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
Great choice for these front heavy cars.TEKSID is a dependable,durable block.The former stick shift world record holder,Yandro’s ‘96 Minion,used this block for 1500rwh.His builder did my ‘04,but we opted for the FR500 4.6 block which has the Terminator’s six bolt mains.Supposedly a stronger alloy.With the engine,front tubular K and coil over kit,and battery relocate,I lost 250#off the front.My car cornered like a beast and lifted for better weight transfer.Can’t wait for the performance follow-ups on this build.
That's what I'm talking about!
Love the sonic blue valve covers!
Thanks!
all aluminum block DOHC modular can take upwards of 1k hp, with the standouts being the teskid out of 96-98 Cobra/Lilcon Mk8, Ford GT, GT500, and the last 4.6L DOHC Aviator. The Aviator was rumored to be the best as some people said it came out of the unsold stock Ford racing catalog. No actual evidence was provided for that rumor, but the teskid is definitely proven to be the strongest, used in many 1k+ builds.
Great channel, glad I found it. I just subscribe a few weeks ago. Just for future reference. As far as the cylinder heads are concerned. Cobras from 96-98 Cobras came with the B heads. 99-01 Cobras came with the C heads and 03-04 Cobras and Mach 1 came with the newer D heads which flow a little bit better than the C heads (more torque) . My 99 Cobra sat for 9 years because of a spun bearing at 158k miles. Finally found a used 99 Cobra engine with 110k miles and installed it in the car. Nice to be driving it again. But now the 320hp engine isn't enough in todays world. I'm debating weather to supercharge an engine with that many miles on it.
Nice work! Loving this build as a first time watcher on the channel. Want to eventually swap something into my 91 Fox.
Go for it!
This is seriously the only channel where I watch the whole video.
Thanks man! Appreciate it
Just found the channel a couple days ago and one of my favorites to watch! Love the detail and how you show everything. Keep up the awesome work! Definitely subscribed!
Fun video. Always loved rebuilding the engines in project cars. I know yours will look and run good when you are done.
Great video as always Chris!
Remember us small fries when you blow up haha such a good channel. Laid back dude with honest and humble work. love it man
Excellent work as usual Chris 👍
Thanks 👍
Gotta get lucky sometimes. Just had my C6 rebuilt. Ate a piston and destroyed the block. I got the new 6.2L long block for $800. Altogether, engine, cam kit, and labor cost me about 6k. Way cheaper than I was expecting.
Basically you have to cast a magical incantation with the torque wrench to get the head bolts tightened to factory specs
Man why you don’t have more subscribers is beyond me great content very entertaining simple and straightforward cheers from longmeadow Ma
Awesome content my guy. Great quality vids and no BS. Subbed up.
Appreciate it bro!
Man you deserve a million subs, your hard work is undervalued!
Hey Chris , just came across your channel. Love the cobra videos.awesome job!
Thanks!
@@ChrisSullivan69 I’m in central New York and my cobra been stored for over a month . I’m already itching to get it out lol.hopefully it will be a short winter 🤞
This is going to be an exciting series, love the attention to detail and the knowledge you share.
I've been waiting to upload new videos. Your content is worth watching. It is enjoyed quite well.
Really enjoy watching your videos, bro 👍🏼
I appreciate that!
Good choice on the motor bro. Much easier when everything is together. Those Molnar rods are STOUT. You also get the better cams in the ‘98 motor. I swapped ‘98 cobra cams into my Mach 1. Easy power upgrade
Great job Chris, good time also to replace all the 20 year old rubber parts, hoses, motor mounts etc
You know it!
