Many of you I'm sure are familiar with this car
I bought the car back in August from a super nice family in Florida. The car had recently had a brand new 5.0 Stroker put in it so I left that as the foundation but changed literally everything else on the car. I picked up a set of Comp 106400 cams (not ideal for the f1x) but had originally planned to do an F1a and Todd Warren said they would work ok if degreed correctly.
To my knowledge I am the first/only person to ever put an F1x on a cog setp like this. There is another gentleman with a cobra that just fired up an F1x an a gear drive so I can't say I'm the only one to run an F1x.
I made the following changes:
Sold the D1sc kit, put a Cogged F1x setup on the car with a massive Treadstone 1245-28 intercooler and 3.5" cold side
Switched to a ported Sullivan intake with fabricated upper
Accufab 62mm tb
Switched to ARH 1 7/8" longtubes with 3" x pipe and 3" Mac catback (plan to have a customer catback built soon)
UPR Chromoly K member and A arms
Viking Double adjustable coil overs all the way around
Team Z relocated uppers and double adjustable lower control arms
Chris Neighbors build me a whole new rearend with 9" ends, 33 spline axles, Eaton Trutrac, 4.10s and braced
Switched the 3650 to a Tick Performance Level 4 T56 magnum with Ram Twin disc clutch
Holley Dominator ECU with Holley 7" touch screen dash
Custom radiator/fan setup
Added Comp 106400 cams (degreed with 5 degrees of overlap), BTR valve springs, Accufab secondary chains, cobra engineering secondary tensioner and Shelby Mike billet arms.
Replace all brake lines with stainless lines
Changed wheels to Weld V series fronts and beadlocked Vitesse rears
Added 99/01 Cobra front bumper and amber tail lights
Added a Fore fuel system with Triple 465 pumps and running Holley 160 lb injectors
Scot Rod Rivet in panels with wire tuck
Battery relocation
I am probably missing a ton of stuff as this was an entire rebuild of the car front to back with the exception of using the longblock and just making some improvements to it.
I bought the car in Florida, drove it home and ended up putting maybe 200 miles on it before deciding I wanted to do an F1a and cams. Well that quickly escalated into what you see now. I could have never done it without my buddy Nicholas Shortridge tackling the build for me and he and I having a very high level of OCD really helped with us sharing a common vision for the end result. There have been many other people involved in helping with different aspects of the build and I'm very thankful to everyone that had a hand in it.
Short walk around video, my phone does the audio no real justice
