You guys are Underrated

Are these ever built in RHD?

Sounds all screwed up..

$26,000 for a freaking motor? I bought my whole 2006 mustang gt for that in 06, lol!

Where are you located

video needs to be updated with prices as of 2023 rolling chassis 51,995 and turnaround time is increased to 10-12 months

AAAAAAWESOME Indeed!!! great video!!!! Will definitly get mine one day soon. Thanks Jim for this video.

Great dash cam footage.. Engine shifting reminds me of the chase scenes in the movie "Bulitt" when Steve McQueen was chasing the 68' Charger through the streets of San Francisco..🤘

Sweet!!! Some good info there!

I'm in South Africa and can't wait for you guy's to build my crazy one 😜

This is literally the worst song I have ever heard in my life.

Next

with that car anyone cant cash me bro...

Where can I get one, including the extra roll-bar?

Why would anyone put a 560hp motor in a 2400lb car? Way more power than that chassis can use.

Try some less obnoxious music next time.

mine's a stroked out 302 to 347, fun roadster.

The Backdraft Cobra is undeniably one of the finest examples of South African precision engineering in a complete rolling chassis coupled with a wide variety of Ford power plants to suit the customers requirements for insane acceleration and handling. The cars overall light weight is a major determining factor in the brute force performance regardless of the chosen engine. One of the more interesting engine options mentioned is the Ford Ecoboost Twin Turbo 3.5 liter V-6. Keep in mind that it’s basically the same engine being used in the Ford GT Supercar that’s racking up wins at LeMans and the world over. Considering that the Backdraft Cobra weighs several hundred pounds LESS than the Ford GT, the performance level enters the mind-numbing zone for the adrenaline junkies with deep pockets. There is one Ford small block engine that never gets mentioned but it’s far superior to all Windsor based Ford small block engines for its performance potential per cubic inch. The canted valve small block from Fords 335 series of early performance engines most commonly known as the 351 Cleveland. For those not familiar with it, a good reference of its performance is well documented in the NHRA Pro Stock record books from the 1970’s when it dominated the class. The Cleveland is gaining popularity again as indicated by the new hardcore performance parts that are currently available. The stock production engine blocks that were problematic 50 years ago when the demands of 10,000+ rpm Pro Stock competition revealed its limits, have been replaced by modern versions. The Australian made aluminum alloy blocks from Arrow now have company in the form of high tech versions currently being sourced from American foundries. Available in exclusive cast iron and Alcoa aluminum alloy versions, they feature priority main bearing oiling and thicker bulkheads throughout for additional stability under extreme loads. They have full Cleveland architecture for compatibility with aftermarket and OEM parts. The exterior is identical to the D2AE four bolt main production block so it looks like a stock block. The lower cylinder walls are extended to increase piston stability at BDC in long stroker applications. Customers have many options to choose from including the 9.2”, 9.5” or custom deck heights with full CNC machining done in the States by the vendor, Timothy Meyer. tmeyerinc.com Aluminum alloy cylinder heads for the Cleveland are also available from several manufacturers in Australia and The United States. There are several KZbin videos available featuring many of the new Cleveland components now available. All alloy stroker engines with single 4-V induction running pump fuel with NO power adders twisting the dyno at levels over 900 hp !!! The superior Ford small block choice for the ultimate Backdraft Racing Cobra build. But what’s up with that “test drive” video that never dipped into the throttle ? Even granny would be like WTF GUYS 🤔.

Such a great informative video. Thank you both for bringing this topic to us.

The dino pull looks and sounds cool but...where are the numbers and curve?

Is that top removable?

no that was too short..... This deserves more screentime

Great vid, thanks !

RT3? Why not just call it a “Snide Cobra” like it actually is?

Why do you NOT have the sound these fantastic machines make on this video... vs that stupid music??

The car could have had a better time at a proper drag strip. The surface at El Toro was very gritting and sandy. Everyone's tires spun. Tires were spinning most of the way. The Roush 427 was very strong, made 556Hp and about 550 torque. That car is not the same now, the person that bought the car switched out the engine for a 302. That engine was put into another car no idea were it is. Rear gear ratio was 3:64

What will be the cost of this top

Not real impressive .

does this car have a ford coyote v8 under the hood? it sure does sound mean and nasty.

That looked great Reg!

DRIVING LIKE YOU'RE SCARED.

Dear Tech, Be nice to have a walk around video of the TD including the inside. Can this one be used for the 1/4 mile and street? It looks really safe. Do the doors open? Some specific details would be great. Thanks, Robert

That "Cobra" sounded shitty! The proud owner couldn't afford the cam? hahahaha

Does it have the stock brakes, Wilwood? More information would be helpful

What was the conclusion?

Pretty cool!

Like what I'm seeing

channel

your chanel deserve more views!!!!!

Had to be the stupidest video ever! A tight shot of the fender camera backs away and car dies!

427 sounds better

427 sounds better

Perfection

Great Video!

love it. that is a great combo you have there.

it needs a big block. it sounds less cool than any other cobra in the world. still cooler than most cars, but not as cool as a 427 cobra

it doesn't have a 427 big block sound. :/

something just doesn't sound right.

i swear to god i saw that same car here in butler pa just yesterday

yes please... enough said
