Good news for you guys is its almost an hour and 20 minutes long so sit back, relax and watch me finish up the beautiful 4.6L and FINALLY get it installed in the Cobra.

Incredibly impressive to not only have the knowledge and skills to do the work, but to be able to film, edit, and produce high quality content at the same time. I really enjoy the channel and look forward to future videos. Cheers!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Appreciate it man!

[@thomasopland7585]

200% agree, makes my night when you upload a new video. Beautiful cars, great content.

[@matthewburkholder1076]

Chris is the most interesting channel on KZbin for me. I literally wait for the next episode just like your favorite show😂

[@briangibbons2439]

@@ChrisSullivan69love the long videos anyways I have a 01 cobra and trying to rebuild a 03 dsg cobra roller so I’m liking the long detailed videos and how your doing everything as I’m not looking for the most power in just looking for something reliable and fun

[@alexdavis6566]

You ain't kidding, like I said in his last video. This man is legit, nothing but respect

[@ice44567]

Honestly dude, your channel is something else. Not only are you incredibly good at wrenching with an attention to detail that is rare to see these days, you're also entertaining as well. The video edits are also excellent. I wish I knew about this channel years ago, lol. Your hybrid even sounds good, which is something few men have accomplished.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! It is a decent sound hybrid lol

[@BADD400]

Chris great video, glad the motor is back in. You did a fabulous job on the motor.

[@jordanhart2979]

Stumbled upon your channel by accident one day, and I must say even being a GM guy, your videos are some of the greatest in depth videos I’ve ever seen, and I’m surprised you don’t have any more followers then you already have. Keep up the amazing work!

[@tom-zb1dn]

LOVE the long vids, Keep them coming Chris, Thank you

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks,

[@2003cobramustang]

chris you do amazing work. this cobra deserves it. going to be mint and drive great when you are done. this poor cobra was used and abused. no worries chris.

Done and done nice man wouldn't have changed a thing let's go babyeeeed

[@FrankJames-vk1fy]

Great vid, thnks for sharing. Are you sure you were able to get the metal shaving out of the Garret Honeywell? Seems like an impossible task. I attempted to watch another fixemup video, after 15 minutes the guy was still talking, no wrenching. I turned it off. As long as you are working toward the goal, we'll be watching. You're doing a great job. Why install a dirty "K" member? Ahhhh, I almost got sick...LOL P.S. Happy New Year!!!

Your attention to detail is very commendable. You don't find craftsmanship of this level anymore.

Awesome vid start to finish. From welding the housing and vbands to the blower assembly to the upr cooling mod to the alternator upgrade, the blower and injector clean up, the rst clutch, tick shifter, and clean up and dropping in the motor… video has it all.

chris in sad mode: this is going to be a long video.....everyone watching: celebrate

[@DitchDoc0540]

Found your channel when you first started this build and since then I’m sucked in waiting for each new video. I would watch just to see the car but you make the videos so much more. It’s not just some 30 min complete build video like so many others. You attention to detail in the cars along with your filming, narrating, and editing make it a journey we get to experience with you. 1:08:27 was the best part showing you’re just like the rest of us lol

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Appreciate it man🤝

[@mrfeelgood561]

Another great one, idk how many hours are into this build but every minute isnt wasted. One thing i think wed all enjoy here is a explanation of your background, how you came to learn all these techniques and mechanics, your about my age i think, and with a badass home and 4 vehicles, I need to get on your level dude lmao, keep killing it

Bro, I know about the pain of installing a T56 Magnum with a Ram Pro Street twin disk clutch in my 95 Mustang. I had the adjustable pivot and everything, but it still needed threads cut off to mate things up... I had that transmission off 8 TIMES before i got it right. Now, 2 years later, I'm converting to a hydraulic clutch cause i keep melting my clutch cable even with heat management wrapped around it. Great video💪🏆

[@ChrisSullivan69]

That's why I measured lol. Had to thread it all the way in and still barely had clearance!

[@PANTYEATR1]

@@ChrisSullivan69 with the amount of threads i had to cut off, measuring wouldn't have helped me bro. Good thing i made a rig that made it easy to mate the transmission easier after the second time💪

The alternator looks good on there! I would have probably bolted the engine ground on while it was out, it bolts to the engine mount stud which is now buried lol. Oh well, you have a lift, it won't be too difficult! Can't wait for the next video.

I had to stop and comment on how much mid/dirt you blew out from the supercharger!! Back to the show, 3 heavy IPA’s in and still loving the content. Thanks Chris. Also, find the days to drive the black Vette. Not sure what you do for work but cars don’t like to sit and I feel like E85 has a shelf life to it. Great fuel for power but pump gas last longer in my “internet opinion”

Another awesome video, Chris. Any chance you could do a quick video on your lift setup? By the black/purple colors, I’m guessing that’s the triumph c7000? I’m curious how you like it and the setup with the hydro lines run overhead and motor mounted to the post. I’m looking at this lift too, but wondering if it works well with that setup. Thanks.

So much quality work and quality parts being torqued with a $40 Amazon wrench. Do the justice and take the hit and get a SnapOn torque wrench. Buy once cry once but they’re worth every penny.

[@EliAngwin]

FYI: Don’t ever use brake cleaner or anything with chlorine to clean anything you intend to TIG or MIG weld as it creates deadly phosgene gas. Also, when you’re welding cast aluminum expect to grind your weld a couple times before you start getting good material to weld with and preheat is almost always your friend.

[@norrisjones3472]

No apology necessary, longer videos welcomed! Great job, well done. Assume your garage climate controlled. Years ago when putting a car away I was advised to put a drop light under it, helps with any moisture as well as a little heat if cold, just passing that on. Looking forward to the next one. Happy New Year.

I would toss the coolant crossover tubes. They will eventually corrode from the inside. Go with the #cobraengineering coolant fittings and lines with the thermostat housing.

[@atrains]

Going on the record here with I said in my head “you should have put the starter motor on before the long tube headers”. I wonder why Ford didn’t use Loctite 510 for the blower to manifold “gasket”. It’s all I used BITD for the Allen Engine Supercharger kit (Eaton M90S) and it worked well. It’s also anaerobic and easy to work and clean up. Sets up relatively quick. Nonetheless excellent video series. Keep ‘em coming.

[@zip-tieracing4307]

Hay bud . I seen a video we’re these guy were taking hvac bubble rap and putting it under the blower in the space that is under there and dropping the heat soak on the super charger by a 100 degree.
