Factory Five Racing Cobra Roadster engine startup

[@MRBACKHAND]

man that engine sounds good

[@kevinsdb1]

No joke, when I was listening to it idle surging and how long it took to idle down. My first thought was "Sounds like it has a vacuum leak" lol

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

How fun. Having a bunch of friends around talking shop. Reminds me of high school.

[@tdg911]

that's cool. Glad I watched. this came up on my suggested feed. Beautiful build and looks like a bunch of good ole boys.

[@007_jg8]

Thanks. When I shot that video, early in the year, I had just been introduced to this group. Over the last few months I have gotten to know them better, and they have become friends of mine. They are a great group of guys.

[@scorchtoggs6164]

I sub'd, looking forward to seeing your build. You got a lot of support from those guys if you need it!

[@007_jg8]

You are right about the support. They were over a couple of weeks ago help me put the diff in. I’ll post that video soon

[@tomhamilton9140]

My type of old folks home. 😎

[@rogermoore8977]

No kidding. I've been wanting to make a list of things unique to my life. Bang on a starter with a hammer or bump starting a stick shift but your the one with your butt on the rear bumper. The joy of a dirt clod exploding on a friends head, was always a favorite.

[@GetsumJ]

Todays generation will never understand this tradition that goes back to the 60s and 70s. Many days, pulling engines with chains and trees, and even a timing light was rare. It's more of a high school reunion in this pic, even if they didn't know each other.

Tuning was an art

Very nice thank you for sharing this treasure very well done. With Respect. RR

[@007_jg8]

You’re welcome!

[@kevintaylor8832]

sounds great

[@gglen2141]

There's a lot of chefs in that kitchen.😆 But they sure got it running nice.

[@007_jg8]

Yes I too was surprised by the amount of people involved. I’ve been getting to know them and they are a very active, supportive, and enthusiastic group. I start my build next month and it is great to know I have new found friends, with lots of experience, to reach out to.

[@MRBACKHAND]

someones got a Radio & TV voice

[@larryperdue508]

Looks like a very well built go cart with a V8 Engine and with the body it's catastrophic oh yeah 🎬🎥🎸🎸🎸🎳XXX🎆🤜🤛👋okay now back to watching the video.

[@59vaughn]

Nice content...Dohc too

[@markbartley3630]

Great time!

[@brianwalker1933]

Always have the air filter and cover fitted before firing it up. If the engine were to backfire, you will quite possibly have a fire to deal with. I'm talking from a "nasty experience".

[@drd1924]

great advice, especially if youre squirtin gas into the carb...better to have the air filter catch fire, then crank it to create a down draft and suck it back in....than to have your plug wires and electrical burn.

[@65stang98]

id love to build one of these one day. My dream garage is one of these an early 70s vette blacked out and a 32 ford low boy

[@007_jg8]

I love the idea of a blacked out 70s vette!

[@darrellbarnes2096]

People hate Mr. Know it alls but need one in your crew sometimes!!(guy with the beard)😂

[@007_jg8]

He is the only one in the group who also has carbs. The rest have EFI

[@ThomasPartida]

I wish i had that many hands when working on my car. Freaking awesome!

[@007_jg8]

It is great to have a group that has been through the build process themselves

[@edmondsarvarian3749]

nice job dudes.

[@007_jg8]

Yes he painted it.

[@dieselyeti]

Did that dude paint his frame blue?

[@007_jg8]

Yes he did paint it. He has also polished everything

[@joeyrabon4208]

I knew it was timing

[@madmax7622]

Factory Five Builders Group?!?!? I dint know there WAS such a thing. Are there ones in OTHER cities???

[@007_jg8]

It is a group of about 30 people in the Sacramento area - all on Facebook messenger. Very tight knit group who are always helping each other out. I only joined a few months ago. I expect there are similar groups in other cities or regions. The Factory Five Forum probably has a list, or you could join the forum and ask. The forum is another great resource.

[@madmax7622]

@@007_jg8 Thanks!

[@BKMDano17]

Shouldn't there be another video by now

[@007_jg8]

Ted’s car is still at Ken’s the painter. Ted has been finishing up carpet and other stuff. Once he gets the body back I’ll post another video. I just posted and update of my progress. I have been focused on the build which has been consuming. I’ll start pushing out videos more often

[@ralphhallett1684]

Beautiful bills however, there is one issue that needs to be addressed. The right front tire is the wrong tire. The tread is going the wrong direction. It’s pumping water into the middle not out. Sorry.

[@007_jg8]

I’ll let him know. Thanks

Those are car guys there…

[@2kanchoo]

So much grey hair in this vid. I can't wait till I'm grey cause I won't be able to afford one of these until then, if by then haha.

[@shaundavis8522]

lot of car for amatures

[@007_jg8]

It is - but that is what makes it exciting!

[@rickjohnson5208]

Funny

[@mikeallen5291]

Oh how I love those who have no idea how to start a carbureted engine...

[@jerrygroen8163]

Needs a little timi g advance

[@007_jg8]

You were right - they had to advance it something like 5 degrees.

[@araofmadisoncasey4247]

gov't job, 1 who knows something with a bunch or on lookers

[@007_jg8]

LOL

[@2engjnr2]

Why do you still build carbureted engines? 😳

[@007_jg8]

Many reasons. The power from carbs is good. The authenticity. The challenge. The smell - you get a smell of gas from carbs which takes me back to when I was kid riding in the back of my dad's e-type. I have 4 twin down draft webers for my 302 - they look fantastic.

[@bthorn5035]

Sounds like a vacuum leak.

[@koachs77]

Would ha ve use’d a flat plane coyote , 5.2 lt.

[@007_jg8]

Flat plane - I love the sound of those screaming engines.
