My Cheap SVT Cobra Reveals MAJOR CARNAGE: Engine is Out And It's DESTROYED!!

Edit: Just hit 50,000 subscribers! Thank you guys so much for your support of the channel. It means the world to me that you guys enjoy this stuff as much as I do. It's a lot of work filming, editing, and getting content out there, but seeing the channel grow makes it all worth it. THANK YOU!
JUST NEEDS A CLUTCH el oh el. Absolutely unbelievable that this car ran and drove! Engine in the cobra is removed and we find some VERY interesting things inside. MUCH more to come on this car!

It's been said 1000 times by now, but I'll say it again. I love the in-depth process of of what you do. Most "big" youtubers skip the little shit and it leaves everyone in the dark. I'd rather watch 58 minutes of you doing this, than 4 10 min videos about what some shop is doing any day. Remember us when you get your 1 Million sub plaque. Been here since like 10k, and you're the best of the best bro. Keep killing it! Also, as a 4th gen camaro guy, I'd love to see you fix a cheap 4th gen ls car next!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Appreciate it my man🤝

[@michaelm3381]

Another vote for a fourth gen Firebird!

[@Hard_Right]

i agree with the in depth stuff, i've watched a lot if these guys since they had small channels and homeboys right , they always change the formula for whatever reason and i don't get it . maybe it's to make filming and editing easier 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Alexinthecut]

@@ChrisSullivan69these videos are gold

[@drip_17]

@@ChrisSullivan69for sure build another 4th gen maro and love the channel

[@lambchopLSX87]

This man’s content is so on point he needs to get more people to sub and support. Better then 99% of all other auto channels. Keep it up Chris!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks man!

[@Hard_Right]

i just looked at social blade and you can see this channel is just about to really take off... there's a noticeable uptick in daily traffic and subs which comes from hitting that threshold where there's enough traffic to drive more traffic which only happens from grinding out a big sub base or if the stars align and you get a viral video ... anyway i can see this channel becoming a full time gig in the next year or so if he keeps it up

[@iamrichrocker]

Chris..did you ever expect to hit 50K..the first time i watched your content i subbed..because you were different..and had kick ass cars..and great editing..that mixture is a sign of a guy who cares what he presents to his channel..and am sure you will continue to grow..keep up the hard work..

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Thanks! 🤝

[@xSilencexIsxFadingx]

He hit 50k? Awesome. I couldn’t believe he only had 32k for the quality of video he was putting out when I sub’d. I hope he doesn’t change the content. Just an everyday dude doing project cars, doing what he loves.

[@Fusionawdecoboost2016]

@@xSilencexIsxFadingxI 100% agree. Some of the best automotive content on KZbin.

[@jonnnybfly]

I originally found your channel when your Cadillac CTS-V video came up as a recommended video on the home screen of my KZbin account/channel. Your car rebuild and refreshment planning and hard work are excellent. It's immensely satisfying for a car enthusiast like myself to watch you, in your home garage, transform historical cars of the 2000s to way beyond their original factory condition. I think that I can safely speak for all other viewers, too, in this regard because they also feel the same way I do. I'd like to see a home garage mechanic/engineer like yourself get a small mention or write-up in Road and Track or Car and Driver magazine, so you could get the recognition that you've earned, increase your channel subscriber and viewer numbers, and ideally get some sponsorships.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Appreciate it man

[@nonameisthename138]

You and I both discovered him about the same time. I've been hooked ever since. 😊

[@uio890138]

Honestly, this is your best project yet. We know the results will be top shelf. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@jeffb2456]

Wow! Somebody absolutely beat the snot out of this one. The right guy is saving it though. I’m confident it will be pristine when completed. Thanks for taking us on this ride Chris. 😎

[@jackdrea1991]

Hey chris your on my top 3 mechanic youtubers along with Alex from legit street cars I like your work ethic real deal diy guy you should have a lot more subscribers but you will get there I look forward to the cobra rebuild thanks for sharing with us

[@krisbarnes8966]

Who is the third? I follow Alex and Chris????

[@DavidB7474]

Even as a Chevy person. Always thought these were serious cars. But the more I see under these, and other late models, the more I like having old vehicles. There is so much stuff, and they are so packed in there.

[@Treymoneyyy]

The amount of things I’ve learned just watching 3 of your videos is insane! I fully plan on being able to be in your position one day. Thank you for paving the road ahead and granting us all the knowledge and in depth breakdowns! Within a month you have become my favorite car KZbinr! Keep up the good work brotha!

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Much appreciated bro!

[@Twin_Murks]

You obviously know zero about SVT Cobra's

[@slowbra94]

Bruh my 94 cobra with 72k miles was 8k before taxes before covid your nuts

[@jfisher99999]

That’s tough. Also tough not to consider a Gen 2 Mustang Coyote swap at this point given what all you need to replace. I wouldn’t use any of that rotating assembly if it were me and those are the early C heads that have very little value like you mentioned. I wouldn’t run anything earlier than a DB casting head. Good luck with whatever you decide

[@jamestrapp3783]

Ya, I have stopped buying “GOOD DEALS” on Facebook and Craigslist. My trust in humanity in this area is toast. I’m anxious to see you do this right. Curious if you’ll ditch the solid rear for the IRS. The trans is a good bonus. I don’t think the red Z needed as much work as this cobra. This thing needs the interior worked as well as the entire drive train. Makes for an awesome Sullivan video series though. I’m in sir.

[@JohnSmith-gd2bm]

Never thought id be watching someone for an hour on KZbin dropping a motor and tranny out of a car but here I am. Can’t get enough of this dudes content tho.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@03_slowbra]

Crazy. Im sure you know this but a few things: 1. Replace those bushing in the lower 2. Replace all of those idlers with a high quality billet ones - the stockers will crack and explode 3. Use a Ford performance head changing kit as well as ford performance timing kit 4. For those intake to head gaskets use Mahle brand as theyre stamped Ford 5. Those headers look like Mac which they no longer make 6. Replace the water pump now while you have access to it 7. Look into a coolant crossover for the back of the heads while the motor is out and easier to access Just a few things on top of my head that may help later

[@bozeeez1]

“Missing bolt down there, possible lean condition thats nice!” Im dead 😂😂😂

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Hate to see it lol

[@wroman786]

Man. . . That’s a lot of damage. Would you consider doing a Coyote swap with a Whipple to it ? Probably going to cost about the same rebuilding it. Coyote swap Cobra sounds pretty good. You already got the transmission. Don’t think it would de-value the car being it’s over 100,000 mile car to begin with. Something to consider.

[@tbarbano1784]

Thank You for all that you do and your content. I can’t get enough!

[@itiswhatitis4905]

I'm a GM guy! But, have a soft spot for a cobra. Glad you're bringing it back to life.

[@ChrisSullivan69]

Everyone loves these cars!

[@Brammage]

As someone who has had a micro piece of metal lodged in his cornea from taking off an exhaust I would highly advise you find a good pair of safety glasses to wear during disassembly of any rusted parts that are above your head (and really even when looking down; they can fly up). having that removed from your cornea is no fun.

[@peteyv]

Diamond in the rough of KZbin Car Channels. You’ll be over 100K in no time, especially once this mustang build goes through the fb and Internet forums

[@TurmyHD]

I’d love to see this car restored to its oem glory! Ditch the solid rear axle set up, back to oem IRS, nice oem rebuild with updated headers and what not. Would make for an awesome daily cobra.

[@rossplevey9724]

G'day from down under. Hi Chris, I know this is not what you expected to find but, there are some salvageable parts, enough to form the base for the rebuild. You are the curator of this car now and you will breathe life into it once again. Cheers.

[@TheWolfMatt]

Great job on the Cobra bud. Those are a ton of work to tear down as it's fairly similar to the Lightning 5.4L I had to tear down a while back. Loads of bearing material in that pan bro, I mean "DANG" that's a ton of material in there. Congratz on the 50k subs too bro, think I subbed ya around 22k or so. Glad to see your channel finally starting to get the love it deserves.

[@bmcgrath1le115]

I really love your channel bro, please stay true to your content once you blow up

[@kwaggs19]

Man, I've been waiting for this one! So glad you took the advice to take it out the bottom. I wanted to take mine out myself when doing head gaskets, but without a lift, I weighed the options and had Brenspeed do it. Excited to see where this build goes. These cars aren't super fun to work on, but they sure are worth it!
