In this video, I start rebuilding the world's fastest Cobra like it's 1999! The Mustang was abandoned over 20 years ago with only 17,000 miles and in this episode, we remove the engine and take it apart to discover exactly what happened. I also bought a new used engine site unseen that we tear into and wait until you see what I find! Enjoy some SVT content and thanks for watching!

I’m removing the lid to the coffee pot and now I’m inspecting it to see if there is any calcium scale buildup…aaand we’re good! a bit surprising since I don’t think this this pot has been rebuilt since Christmas of 2006.

  • Something you may want to look into, depending on your goals; the 96-99 Cobra used an aluminum block made by Teksid in Italy. Some early 01s had a Teksid block also, but most of them had the WAP block, made in Canada. Both are fine for the majority of mild to moderate street/strip builds, but the Teksid is known to be superior for really high horsepower builds.

    • @@jamesemcclure I mean I'm not there with him but I am pretty sure it's common knowledge to pretty much support the front of the car on the table instead of the lift (obviously doing so "safely", meaning not being stupid with it) where it's pushing the cross member up into the vehicle so the bolts aren't holding the subframe in, rather the weight is! IF the bolt had pressure on it then it likely wouldn't have spun as it did, the cross member better not flex or twist so yes it should be completely supported! Balance plays no part here, what balance do you need? He removed the last nut and bolt and nothing moved...... I don't know where you get any weight pivots or there was any difficulty removing the bolt. It's evident you never removed an engine using a hydraulic lift table and a vehicle lift. I highly recommend it though! It can be a little trickier in a transverse configuration when it's more than just a K frame and symmetrical as it is here. Then again, everything is a little trickier with a transverse mounted drivetrain.

With the car sitting 20+ years and being a northern/midwestern car rust is going to happen (regardless of it not being driven in the winter). Had nothing to do with balance, shifting, pivoting. I however misspoke, the K member did drop a little when he backed the last bolt out.

  • Want to touch base on the part where you heated the driveshaft bolts. You can heat the threads inside, such as header/manifold bolts, or drive shaft bolts by heating the bolt head cherry red, let it cool (during cooling it transfers the heat to the threads off the bolt and into the part therefore separating the bolt from the part) and after about 3-5 minutes the bolt 99% of the time come out with ease. Oxy/acetylene is usually the ideal tool for that. Give it a try! Great show!

  • SPS bolts were used from le factory. Looks like a factory crank with that undercut radius on the rod journal, you don't see that too often on aftermarket cranks, they usually go with a fillet of some flavor. Be interesting to know if the rod bolts are 8740 or 2000 material. Rod bearings are a race series Clevite, pretty good.

    • Factory crank is a Kellogg forged unit. All aftermarket forged 4.6 cranks I know of all have counterweights just the same (Eagle, Manley, Scat) I've never seen a knife edge counter weight on a 4.6 crank. Can see in the video it has 8740 bolts (which is plenty strong, however I don't know why anyone wouldn't opt for the 2000 upgrade on a forged rod...)

      @commonsenseisdeadin2024@commonsenseisdeadin20244 ай бұрын
    • Easiest way I found to check the crank without looking for the KC stamp on the first counterweight is to see if it has counterweights in the center. The factory forged cranks had counterweights but the cast ones didn’t. I believe the Manley, eagle, etc forged options as well all don’t have counterweights on the center.

A couple years ago I re-built an 03 Mach 1 (same aluminum 32v found in the 99 Cobra) with forged Manley internals and some aftermarket cams. It put down 373 hp 350 tq NA and pulled very nice between 3-6.5k rpms. These engines have some complication with the timing setup but nothing for you. These engines also like the Ford Motorcraft Gold coolant and OEM spark plugs and coils.

    • ​@@commonsenseisdeadin2024dude the teksid is the baddest aluminum block Ford ever put into anything factory it's absolutely worth saving as are the heads. They came with factory cranks the factory rods and pistons are the only things that aren't way way better than what was on gt back then and the only things that aren't comparable or better than what terminators had. They didn't make aftermarket 4v heads the heads are always worth saving.

  • You found you a nest! 20:48 I love my mustang and wish I had money to mod it. But I do not, and I use it as my daily driver. I do enjoy watching others build and mod theirs. My last mustang was 98 I had it for 11 years over 400,000 miles before I got my new one.

I have always wanted a Cobra usually I like the 2003-2004 facelifted models with the factory supercharger or upgrades but these were good as well especially if they had a blower installed factory no blower. I honestly appreciate the content you put out it always makes my day on Saturdays! Hope you have a great rest of your weekend and I can't wait to finish watching the rest of this build cheers 🥂 Alex!

  • I worked at a Mustang and Ford Performance shop in the early 2000’s and I got to work on a bunch of these and this brought back a lot of memories! We had a customer with a very similar ‘99 Cobra with built internals and a Vortec S-trim, built manual valve body AOD-E with a stand alone TCU (complete with cool shielded toggle switches to engage reverse and OD because Racecar!). We also did a fuel system upgrade and 8.8 solid axle loaded with a 3.73 posi. It was one of the scariest cars I had ever ridden in up to that point, and the owner was a pilot that drove it every day! It was loud, rough and rode like shit (solid mounts for everything), Ill mannered and made mere mortals want to wet themselves just riding in it, and I couldn’t get enough of it! I miss cars like this.

  • 18:38 you can re-use the old front timing cover - you will need to for the vortech blower brackets you have to fit. The front timing cover was revised for a new belt routing and tensioner on the ‘01 cars. This is the FEAD or front end accessory drive in Ford-speak. The water pump pulley is different because the pumps are different - the 01 motor has a longer pump snout and a more dished pulley. Can use either pump style with the correct pulley. They called these Modulars for a reason!
