I love the concept of that engine. I'm hoping you get 600hp!

They are saying it is a monster. Revs to almost 8000 rpm!

Backdraft RT3B #1226 - Ford Racing 5.0 Coyote XS - Dyno Run - YouTube

A new video of #1226 getting its dyno action on.

You can also go to Vintages youtube page and find it.

466 rwhp should snap a neck back pretty good!

Just posting an update. The car is being finished up this week. Hopefully be on its way to me next week. We have had weather problems as of late that have put things off. Jay and the guys are working getting the top finished and fitted and then just a few odds and end and detail should do it. It has been a long road but a great ride. Only regret is that my Dad will never get to see the car. He passed away last week losing his battle with colon cancer. He did get to see the cars pics/vids on the Vintage site which he loved. Jay is putting the #65 on the car in remembrance of him as that was his age when he passed away. It will be an emotional time when the car is delivered I'm sure. Anyway he will be with me in spirit when my son and I take our first drive!!

The top is coming together. I got some quality time in on it today. The changes we made are looking really good as it goes back together on and on the car.

Really it's just finessing stuff now. Oh and the Sat radio hookup

Jay, you know I have to keep you on your toes! BTW ,Micheal (my son) and I have been discussing doing a GT40 next. I'm afraid after this Cobra you will not even take my calls to do another car!

Todd so sorry to hear about your father! I've lost 3 people very close to me from cancer in the last 4 years

F#%K CANCER!!! On a positive note congratulations on your cobra. Your car being done is very good news for me also, I know your build has been going on for about a year… I'm thrilled your car is complete so Jay can concentrate on my new build lol. (Vintage got the engine and transmission Delivered this week) By the way I ended up going with the Ford racing 427 again. Keep us updated. Enjoy!

Thank you Anthony. I'm sure Jay and Brian will be just as excited to see it go as you are.

What number is your build so I can watch? Did you already sell you original Backdraft or do you still have it?
