I like that guy. He built the car to actually drive it. Factory 5 is a great option for an enthusiast. You get amazing nostalgia, and don’t feeling that you are committing a sin to put miles on your car. Good job, men
My grandfather built his own replica from real parts and scrap aluminum hand bending every piece it was done so well that Mr.Shelby himself signed the glove box so it’s real to me 😊
This is one of the nicest Cobra builds I've ever seen. Honestly if I were to build one of these cars I would also go with a modern Coyote and IRS rear end. Everything else--the paint, the gauges, the shifter location, the seats, doorcards and trans cover--all look fantastic.
This is definitely the way to do it. The coyote is almost a cheat code for power. A reliable 7-800hp is easily attainable with a total of like 4 or 5 mods and a good tune. Not many other platforms can say the same. I hate to be “that guy” but the LS/LT are the only other ones that really even come close. But keeping it true to the Ford heritage with the coyote is 100% the right move imo. She’s a stunner of a build. Congrats on such a beauty.
6.2 aluminum block ls. Waybeasier and cheaper easier to work on, modify, and make power with. That being said, the howl off the coyotes is quite the noise
@@michaelcraven7217 phenomenal build sir. You built the perfect setup. I helped build one about 8 years ago we converted a carburetor to FAST injection, full 321 stainless exhaust, it’s been in world of wheels several times. Again fantastic work
That's why I have underslung exhausts. Also protects my non-wife's calves from burns and her delicate ears. Her voice is so quiet like a mouse, I'd never be able to hear her.
@Justin igloo In a Cobra you can open the door and touch the exhaust tip. Edit: OK OK OK - on MOST motorcycles you can't touch the exhaust tip with your hand when sitting on the bike, unless you are Inspector Gadget.
My dad built a factory 5 cobra back in 2015 and was one of the first people to use the first gen coyote. To say it was amazing being a part of it coming together would be an understatement, it’s such a beast of a car
@@michaelcraven7217 very cool dude indeed! And I’m not over here saying HE was the one that started the trend of putting a coyote in it, but he had to fabricate all the mounts and pieces to make it fit as none of those parts existed at the time. 7 years and 11,000 miles later and he still burns the tires in 5th gear😂
@@jasonheneghan98 Well, not to take anything away from your dad, but my MkIV Cobra kit was purchased in 2012 - Gen 1 Coyote/TKO600. Broke a lot of ground but at that time FFR already had out a great Coyote install kit and instructions.
Oh snap! A shoutout from Speedhut!! Thank you for the kind words. I love the gauges and all the options you guys provide to make them unique. I get lots of complements on them.
@@michaelcraven7217unbelievable build! Lamotta did my mustang and it was always reliable. I’m local and would absolutely LOVE to see this in person!! My son would freak-
1965 Cobra. I was stationed in south west Georgia, day off, off base in a store glancing through a car magazine, reading a story about the 1965 Ford Cobra, happen to glance out the store window to SEE a COBRA, WITH. VERTICLE STACKS ON THE CARBS. Had to smile
Absolutely freaking gorgeous car. Truly a product of passion and knowledge. My old man and I managed to move down to Florida, in the same neighborhood. He's getting ready to retire and building a factory five cobra with him would be the ultimate father and son bonding experience. I wish I had more car knowledge. I fear I'd get into this project and be lost ...
My MkIV kit was purchased in 2012. After much research I put in one of these new Coyote engines. TKO600 transmission. 50,000 kilometers and Im still really happy. Engine is stock but for the Stainless Header 4x1x4 headers, the BOSS 302 intake and a mild tune on the chassis dyno. 490 HP, and like you said in your video, I get great gas mileage until my right foot brings the Coyote alive. Dyno graph shows it build power quickly from 3,000 rpm and keeps building at the rev limiter. Only beef....I shouldn't have wasted time and $$ putting the stereo in. NEVER use it. Keep enjoying the ride.
I had three different engines in my Cobra replica first a 427 SO, 2nd a 408, and 3rd a 427 Dart, but IMO the Coyote is the absolute best choice for today's Cobra replica and also the best ever Mustang engine choice.
Absolutely. Having the 5lt that every mechanic knows how to work on, and can easily get parts for, is going to save so much time, and so many headaches. Add to that modern engines push out so much horsepower, and the vehicle is so light, unless you're a Professional Driver on a Track, no one is going to feel the difference.
@@michaelcraven7217 The 427 SO impresses all the newbies at the car show, and the big cube small block impresses all your competitors at open track days. All swaps were done by myself over 20 years of ownership. I had my fun and now drive a Mustang GT. Automatic.
This is one of, if not the BEST Cobra builds ever! Excellent choice on the car's body colors and really cool about the wheels and how they just worked perfectly with the car and colors. I LOVE that it's just over 500bhp! These and the GT40 replica builds should all have serious horsepower! It's excellent!!!

Fantastic Cobra ! I love your engine, trans, axle, interior, paint and wheel combo. I've always wanted to build one and I even ordered the Factory 5 catalog, but with 2 kid's in college and one more in 4 year's, it's going to be a while till I can get a chance..
Better have 40 50 k and lots of fabrication experience. Nothing but nothing goes together like it's supposed to on this car. You will be grinding bending hammering re-drilling you name it this car is a nightmare Nothing fits nothing lines up it's actually a pretty crappy kit they just advertise the s*** out of it so people think that they're really good. The reality is to get them to look this nice you're going to have about 60 Grand or more into it
@@BKMDano17 I disagree with some of that. The kit is far from perfect but for the cost of it I think its fair. It would be 2-3x what it costs to get there. If you do any research you know its not without some work. Also I didnt really have any fab experience.
Facctory Five Builds have gone BALLISTIC... History and Current ...BAD ASS!!! I WANT ONE OF THESE! Cooler than Cool! That Guy is Having TOO MUCH FUN IN THAT COBRA .. Very Well Done! (Rock Chips are only Proof of FUN!!! )
Great colors. And screw carbs, fuel injection small block coyote is way to go. Can always S/C it for another 200hp easily and still daily drive in traffic.
@@freedomisntfree_44 maybe, but from what I’ve seen they’re just obnoxiously loud and raspy. Can’t say I care too much for the way any of the modern V8’s sound and it’s not because I’m some die hard old school gear head. They just all, LT1, Hemi, Coyote, have this blatty… unrefined noise emanating from them. Don’t know how much modern exhaust systems can change from “the old days”. Now I do know these engines run at compression ratios deemed race only just a couple decades ago, all over 11:1, which does contribute to the sharpness of their sound but still, obnoxious is obnoxious… and I’ve got a 383 SBC that breathes through a 3.5” exhaust with only a 14” sound absorbing muffler!
@@coryholbrook4643 many of the older engines had a larger displacement as well, but I’m with you. Can’t beat the sound of the old carbureted stuff. Especially walking up to a big block shaking the ground at idle
The mustang crappy exhaust note you are referring to is the ford firing order 1-5-4-2-6-7-8, which lends itself to a not so pleasant tone. The side pipes help mitigate this.
I always wanted something like this growing up. Now that I'm a bit older, and have a bit of seat time on tracks, I would kill myself in this car. That's a stunning build. It's timeless. It will look fantastic in 20 years.
One of the most beautiful and coolest Cobra I think.Color and parts choice is best. I want to do reference for my sidecar custom.Owner's sense is best.
Jaw dropping gorgeous. You have a great knowledge and talent to build for yourself a great treasure and it shows. CONGRATS. I sincerely you hope you enjoy it for many years as you have earned it. BRAVO AND CHEERS!
I was trying to figure out why this one looks so much better than other Cobras. .. then I realized you didn't put the oval bumper on the front. It looks so much better without it! The color combo is perfect as well. Love the car!
proportion proportion proportion, what a suuuper sweet build. most cobras have either too small wheels or too large or bad fitment, this is cream of the crop

That color combo is fantastic. The grey with bronze wheels looks phenomenal. One of the best Cobras I've seen in quite some time. Props to you sir:)

Fun fact! When sitting in a Cobra the distance from your ear to the exhaust tip is shorter than if you are sitting on a Harley Davidson.
WHAT?
That's why I have underslung exhausts. Also protects my non-wife's calves from burns and her delicate ears. Her voice is so quiet like a mouse, I'd never be able to hear her.

That’s definitely one of the nicest looking cobra’s I’ve seen .well played young man . 👍👍
Those wheels are utterly insane.
Yeah I'm really happy with them.
Easily one of the Best Cobra's ive ever seen. I wouldn't do anything different were it mine to build. Well Done!
Wow quite a complement. Thank you.
i saw this at Windemere C&C. Beautiful build, owner was a great guy to.
Haha, thanks man. I need to get back out to that show again. It was a good time.
The wheels look like Halibrands at a glance, what a gorgeous machine, I wish I had one in my charge.
Yeah they have a good modern classic look to them. Appreciate it.
One of the most beautiful and coolest Cobra I think.Color and parts choice is best. I want to do reference for my sidecar custom.Owner's sense is best.
Thank you very much!
He built it his way, classic look, with modern twist, really cool. Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧
OMG! I want one. What a car. Always loved Cobras but I don’t think I’ve seen a nicer one. Well done. What a treat
Thank you so much.
I know that guy from FL, Very well built car with very nice upgrades.
Oh do you?? 🤣
Just found this and I am in awe. Dude built a great machine. Nicely done.
He nailed the paint and racing stripe colors
This car has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. I would probably do this exact setup, just different paint. Wow! What killer car! Beautiful.
Yeah its always been a dream of mine too, thank you.
What an amazing job!! Great job Michael!! Every choice is perfect!
this has to be the coolest shelby i have ever seen
Haha, Thank you
This is the best one I’ve seen hands down. Your details and customize to suit your needs and wants. A true standout.
Love that he built it, makes it so much better!
What a fabulous machine, my goodness!!!
Thanks Dave!
This is the best factory five I have seen my only reservation would be direct injection and port motors.
Thank you. Only the gen3 coyote has both. That's the common one guys are using nowadays.
Jaw dropping gorgeous. You have a great knowledge and talent to build for yourself a great treasure and it shows. CONGRATS. I sincerely you hope you enjoy it for many years as you have earned it. BRAVO AND CHEERS!
Wow thank you Gary.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 on an awesome build!!! Viva America 🇺🇸!!!
Thank you.
I was trying to figure out why this one looks so much better than other Cobras. .. then I realized you didn't put the oval bumper on the front. It looks so much better without it! The color combo is perfect as well. Love the car!
proportion proportion proportion, what a suuuper sweet build. most cobras have either too small wheels or too large or bad fitment, this is cream of the crop
Thank you, I appreciate it! Its for sure hard to get it just right.
got this recommended.. love the video and LOVE THE HAT!
Thanks, a little FF representation.
These little cars are cool! Nice
Thanks
