1. And I thought that my 100hp civic was quick…

2. I suspect getting a fresh kit from F5 would be cheaper in the long run.

3. Real men have no fear, take off the mask… 99% survival is no pandemic.

4. I hope you will consider bringing your channel to Rumble. Our nation is

5. Air condtioning on a car without a roof ? Might get more views if you add cobra kit car to your title as this is what this in reality.

6. David's a good guy. Yep. A mess. Shame on whoever left that out in the elements whenever they did.
   Shame shame shame shame shame.

7. Your consideration for the health and safety of your friends and co-workers is admirable. Thank you for your leadership and for what is going to be an awesome build. 🤘

8. Your not going to get 400 from those heads try to get GT40 or the GT40P heads with the valve springs matching the cam you will.

9. Why would you not have a 5-6 speed manual in that car? It's not like you will ever daily drive it and sit in traffic.. Even I that can't sit in traffic with a clutch would put a manual in it. It's a hot rod.. You've got to shift the gears and be able to push in the clutch and rev it at will and just be an asshole with it! That's 3/4s of the fun! It's gotta be loud, it's gotta have a big lumpy cam and it's gotta be manual. Check out Flaming River for a good steering rack, or you could even upgrade to an 05 and up steering rack. 350-400HP out of a 90's 302? You must be planning TONS of upgrades because those things are maybe 150HP factory.

10. Ok David what do you see?………..a mess!!! 🤦‍♂️🤣

11. Looks like a fun project. hobby to pass the time.

12. Ay u building a corbra ayooo

13. Great project, and you’ve got the right guy. He knows all the details and what can be done to improve the car. I had no idea there were still unfinished MK1’s out there!

14. When I first saw this car I thought it was a MK1, now we know. Thanks David. I have a MK1 and invested quite a bit in upgrades.

15. With recognition of the fact that this does not need to make a million bajillion horsepower to be a contender, wouldn't aluminum heads benefit the weight distribution? GT40's are a no-brainer if you're going to do anything w/ a 302 but they aren't what anybody would consider weight savers. Probably a little easier to achieve your 350+ number with I would think.

16. Wipers? Its a FARE WEATHER CAR DUDE! And quit saying Fairmont or I will unsunscribe and ive been with u since the purchase of the legacy wagon

17. i think his cobra was the first one i ever saw in real life back when i was 16-17

18. My MK1 originally had a power rack installed to run as a manual. I changed that out to a Flaming River manual rack and EPAS. No pump no fluid, no hoses. Something you might want to consider. Just my 2 cents. Your build is going to be great, can't wait to see the mod to the transmission tunnel.

19. i haven't watched in over a year due to job changes. what in the awesomeness did I miss.

20. Hi Eric, i was watching your “response” video to one you had put out earlier about synthetic vs regular oil. You make two statements that you don’t support: 1. Synthetic is better and 2. Synthetic will flow better than normal. According to Blackstone Laboratories (an oil testing company in Indiana):there is NO difference between synthetic and regular oil in the temperature ranges found in the lower 48 as relates to protection of an internal combustion engine. Essentially the same metals, etc. were found in engines with synthetic vs normal. Secondly, flow rates are determined by ambient temperature and viscosity, yet you say that the synthetic oil will flow faster than normal oil without clarification. Seems like you may want to check your facts against some oil analysis research and define the ambient temps and viscosities of oils when you say one flows better than the other. Cheers, Ron Coalson

21. Hey Eric, love your videos!! Im 22 and i have a 1972 Chevy pickup and i was wondering if you could make a complete rewiring video on a similar truck? I have no clue what to do.

22. Hi Eric. Perfect timing, I'm in the same situation. I'm completing a MK3 FFR cobra for a friend this winter. It has an aluminum block 4 cam 4.6 L modular cobra motor. It's a tight fit. I appreciate your insight. I will be watching all your videos on this project.

23. it looks like a mad max delorean on roids

26. ERIC, I HOPE YOU SEE THIS COMMENT!
    I've been following you on your Facebook page also, and today I saw the heads, and then I went back to see the picture of the pistons when they looked like the valves were hitting on two of the cylinders. Then I noticed that the valves in the head are OFF-SET. The intake valves are NOT in the same place on all the cylinders (take one head for example). On the first and third cylinders, the intake valves are on one side, and on cylinders two and four, they are on the other side, which means two of the pistons MUST be turned 180 degrees to match the heads. Am I seeing this correctly, or is it a figment of my imagination?

27. Good thing the Corona Chan is smart enough to not go through your beard. LoL

28. I just subbed to a 10 year old video about flushing heater cores. My how far we have come from that chilly garage! Keep killin' it brother!

29. Hi I have Mazda cx7 for 6 years no problem. But month ago valve lifters make me crazy .I took it to the michanic. Like 4 mechanic they told me go buy a used engine what you think

30. Eric, I'm struggling to do a head gasket on a '97 Acura RL, do you have any tips on head gaskets for the honda c-series?

31. I’ve seen many rear manual proportioning valves installed on classic cars, but for the wrong reason. If your rear wheels are locking up, it could be out of round brake drums. Machining (turning) or replacing the rear brake drums solved the problem.

32. Hi I have an 03 Lincoln Town Car 2v 4.6l with 140k. The car runs like a clock 99.9% of the time. However sometimes when idling at full operating temperature it starts misfiring bad (PO354 cylinder 4 ignition coil primary/secondary circuit). Then will go away after a minute or so and run perfect again. Changed the plugs with motorcraft platinum and swapped the coil pack from a different cylinder no fix. What would be the next thing to look into? Thanks

33. hello Eric you and the other mechanic bough got 100% I tell you one the end who is the other mechanic ,,,,you doing a great job too, in any vehicle ,,,but I have to take 1 point way from one of yous…and I will take the point off from you..why? this is why….because the other mechanic can say this…have you got a clue yet? nooooo…the other says all the time every time .)))))))) IF I CAN DO IT ,YOU CAN DO IT…HAHAHA DO YOU KNOW WHO? ITS YOUR FIREND LOL… SOUTH MAIN REPAIR

34. You’d be better-off using the chassis as a welding jig to build a real chassis from scratch with some round 4130 tubing from Wicks Aircraft Supply et al. That has to be the saddest looking chassis I’ve ever laid my eyes on. An Oreo cookie tray has a better 1st torsional mode. Think space frame….plenty of info on the web. Triangulate all those joints. Ditch the sheet metal skirts and laminate some sheet foam with fiberglass…or at least make some aluminum sandwich panels to stiffen those sections in the tunnel. Forget the mechanicals. Get that chassis sorted.

35. 350 hp vw diesel 50 mpg

36. That fuel tank talk chimed in some Pinto memories lol.

37. I mean, it's a roadster! Air con?… why?…. 30mph is your air con! This is absolutely a 3 pedal car, but sure, automatic, if you must. In my opinion, the Cobra has the ugliest hard top in creation, it just doesn't go. That car is most beautiful topless. Unless the aircon is to cool your legs from heat radiating from the engine. Brace that trans tunnel, change those god awful wheels and don't overpower it. Nothing says, I'm going nowhere like spinning your wheels.

38. Subscribing just for the Cobra 🙂

39. Ive always wanted to factory five build. This will be a nice progression to watch. 👍

40. That looks like the 289 body, not the roadster body. I could be wrong.

41. GREAT YOU NEEDED A EXPERT

42. A touchy hydraboost is typically from improper pedal ratio. Many times you have to raise the pin on the brake pedal with hydraboost over conventional power brakes. Issue I have ran into way too often at work with hydraboost conversions of old vehicles.

    I may do it on my '82 F150 I am doing my 306 build on but if I do it due to lack of engine vacuum I would be sourcing OE components such as a 88 – 90 F-super duty brake pedal and a 88 – 90 F-superduty hydraboost assembly which will be a straight bolt in for me and economical than going with an aftermarket company like hydratech that uses a GM hydraboost

    On the fuel pump, you can throw a walbro high pressure EFI pump on a foxbody fuel pump sending unit. Done it on a foxbody with a 347 stroker I installed at work few years back. Same thing im doing with my 82 F150 with the sniper stealth EFI, I am going to run a new 85/86 fuel tank replace the lift pump on the fuel pump sending unit assembly with a 255 LPH walbro pump with a Corvette style fuel filter/pressure regulator back by the tank to return straight back to the return. The foxbody pressure line like any other EFI pressure line would be a 3/8" size and you can use a -6 AN to 3/8" quick disconnect for the pressure and -6 AN to 5/16" quick disconnect for the pressure and return. Running return in 3/8" line with the short 5/16" hardline at the sender will not create a noticeable backpressure on the return system to be a problem.

    As far as FFR goes, I always wanted to build a Coupe and I saw they now have a new Gen of Coupe that is larger which would be more comfortable for someone of my heigth. But sadly I may build a American Graffiti style deuce coupe with my tweaks to it instead.

43. Eric, love your videos but you gotta loose the face panties. It's a wealth transfer hoax.

44. Good video @EricTheCarGuy
