I had two of them back in the day. My 75 coupe had the gutless 4 banger, but at least it was a stick. We ended up selling it to my uncle. My 74 hatchback had the V-6 (also with a stick). There was a world of difference between the two engines. I liked them.
It gas ddesigned to complete with the jap crap at the time. Think datsun etc. All low hp buzz boxes. In north america it got hate cause we though it was supposed to be a boss 302, mach 1 not an econo box. Look at the new mach E what an ugly turd that is. Most people that really hate these are guys that only like old 60s muscle and that is it. I kinda like the ugly 70s stuff to be different. Some want to see the same ole same ole.
Personally, I wish they used the Maverick as the basis of the 74 mustang and the mustang 2 had been the new and improved pinto but that's just me.... And yes I have a real deal 78 King Cole in my garage.
Had a Cobra 2 in 81, rebuilt motor with high performance parts i.e. Boss 302 heads, duel springs,Holley 600 solud lifters, Crane fireball cam, and Richmond 411 gear. It would do 100 in 3rd gear, 12.2 in the qtr
I owned a black King Cobra and thought that was really cool. Unfortunately we all know that it was really a low power Mustang with a nice paint and decal package. At that time smog and mileage requirements killed performance. Now I look back and see how underpowered the King was. But at that time, it's what we could get.
Alot of people don't have anything good to say about king Cobras. I always have like them and had a friend in highschool that had one with all the ginger bread on it like the king Cobra on the tv series charlies angles! His was black and gold, he swapped out the smog low compression 120hp 302 and replaced it with a mild built thump thump cam 351 Windsor with 410 gears! That did the trick!
Oh I'm sure that helped quite a lot! lol My car ended up weighing a little more than 2,800 pounds, so an Iron small block car is probably around 2,900-3,000 and that's still super light and that's the perfect base to build a rocket!
A guy I went to High School with in 86 had a white one with the blue stripes. Had the Cobra II logo under the door. It was a Pro Street car. Huge steamrollers under the back with wheelie bars. Weld Drag Lite wheels with the holes around the edge. Was awesome.
I own my favorite Mustang, a 77& a hard T roof. They are excellent restomod candidates. I'm going with a Cleveland and a 5 speed, I have a 5 lug swap to complete that comes with a Versailles 9 inch rear.
Definitely was! I have an updated video taking them for a ride with the new supercharger! You should check it out! czcams.com/video/lk8sD2YJORg/video.html
it was a 2016 (not sure on year) BMW 340I. Not exactly sure but I'm pretty sure they're twin turbo inline 6's. That particular one was tuned and on E85, it's a fast car for sure especially for having 4 doors!
So I have a narrowed 9" that I made specifically for these RTS's but the tire size was a 275/60r15 which is a 28" tire but I did have it raised in the rear so it wouldn't rub, it's a very tight fit lol
Man that thing looks like it pulls like a freight train, and your dad was the rev limiter when he was with you that was too funny but it was really cool that he rode in it and wanted to go fast but I think it was a bit faster than he was expecting it to be 😂 that was really cool to see everyone's facial expressions , you could tell that they enjoyed it, I wish I lived closer, I would definitely want to go for a ride in it to see how fast it is because in that light car i bet it gets really fun/scary really fast. What's the fastest that you have been in it so far? You ought to pick a few races like your brother does , I bet your channel will blow up if you do. I put some caltracs on my pinto and I have been trying to get a aluminium driveshaft for my car and it's supposed to be here tomorrow so I can drive it again finally. Ive also got some better valve springs and going to run 1.7 roller rockers on it so that I can rev this thing out a little more and make peak power a little higher than 5700 , the springs that I got sent the first time wasn't what I thought I was getting and ended up being some comp cam knock offs, so these pac springs should do the trick, well they are under the trick flow name but in the add it says that Pac made them so if i can raise the curve up 800-1200 rpm that will be a significant gain in peak power. But your car is badass man when you left the guys recording you in the beginning you can tell that thing was pulling hard and getting out of town. That was really cool gifts that the Ford guy gave you that would definitely go in a frame
It's insane, it's as fast as I thought it would be but at the same time it exceeds my expectations. I'm really getting the tune dialed but there's still a lot of meat left on the bone so to speak. So far, it's been 11.72 at 119.8 and coincidentally that was also against my brother lol I want to do those videos as well, but I'll do more of a single round robin video with a couple of guys. The problem is there aren't a ton of guys to race around here and he's raced mostly all of them. I keep talking smack to him about doing a video with me, but I know he wouldn't wanna post a video where he loses ;)
@@dugganracecraft 🤣😂🤣 yeah it would make him look bad but if you could get him to and of course you will win then all of his subs will move on over to your channel 😂. Yeah im sure that it is hard to find ppl that would want to race especially after your brother has already beaten them they surely wouldn't want to get train gapped by you. 🤣😂 I knew that thing was going to eat the beast cars for lunch. It looks stupid fast on camera so I know it person its intense and you're right there's still a shit ton left in it. That thing is too badass and you're going to have to just put a toilet instead of a seat so that your passengers will be able to just let it go in the toilet instead of your seat 🤣 I wish I was closer so I could get to ride in it
The factory BorgWarner t-85 couldn't handle the power of a stock 302. It Should have had a Ford top loader or BorgWarner Super t-10 from the factory. 78 Cobra was a 1000 pounds lighter than a 78 Camaro. The Camaro was a way better handling car. I owned a 78 king cobra it was a cool car but did have a small car feel to it.
A lot of cutting and welding lol I cut the rails off and the firewall and widened them 3” and lowered them 3”. It could possibly fit with out modifying the rails but I never tried it
did you make a video on how you install the roll pan? I bought a roll pan from classic auto reproductions and it fits like total dog shit! I'm going to make it work but it's going to take a ton of fiberglass work and it's going to have to be bonded to the body and not only that but there's going to be a big bow in it at the bottom I'm pretty pissed off they insist that it went through a rigorous quality control check before they sent it to me which was 2 years ago before the company got sold to somebody else but there's definitely something wrong with it it's all droopy and saggy all the dimensions are wrong and off but whatever I'll make it work I'm just interested to see how you mounted yours!
The front one fit pretty poorly, it’s just screwed to the car until I order the flush fit one. That back one fit great, no modifications or anything, but the front one fit pretty bad.
Are you talking 69-70 or 12-13 Boss 302? Either way would be badass! I had all the 4v 351C parts to do an OG Boss engine but decided to go coyote instead, it would be very cool though!
I got a mild built 302 swap 1984 Datsun(was a 4 cylinder 1.8)....the over head cam V8's would of required to much cutting under the hood to install....
I was to the point of trading my built 6R80 to a T56 magnum, went to meet the guy and got stood up so it didn't happen. Now I'm going with a supercharger so I'm glad I kept the auto!
to all the haters of the mustang II it was a great car designed in the late 70s fuel crunch and government regulations.
Couldn’t agree more!
It wasn't "designed" to be anything but a PINTO! 🤣
I had two of them back in the day. My 75 coupe had the gutless 4 banger, but at least it was a stick. We ended up selling it to my uncle. My 74 hatchback had the V-6 (also with a stick). There was a world of difference between the two engines. I liked them.

Most definitely! It was average for what it was back then and they’re definitely a light platform to do whatever you want with!

Awesomeness wrapped in Freedom!! It's definitely the coolest baby mustang on the planet 😎
I definitely tired lol Thanks Kevin!
It’s a really cool car!! Great job!! Can’t wait to see it finished.
You and me both! Thanks, Glen!
Buddy put a 455 Olds with Mondello cam,heads and a tunnel ram with dual dominators in one of these back in the late 80's. LoL it was fast.
I bet that was a wild ride!
A guy I went to High School with in 86 had a white one with the blue stripes. Had the Cobra II logo under the door. It was a Pro Street car. Huge steamrollers under the back with wheelie bars. Weld Drag Lite wheels with the holes around the edge. Was awesome.
Mustang II's make awesome pro-street cars!
Good job ; Mustang 2s are
Great Cars , thay've always needed more power, but U took care of
That.
Thanks from Nor-Cal.
Could agree with you more! Thanks Chris!
Cool little hot rod. Nice build!
Thanks Wade!
I own my favorite Mustang, a 77& a hard T roof. They are excellent restomod candidates. I'm going with a Cleveland and a 5 speed, I have a 5 lug swap to complete that comes with a Versailles 9 inch rear.
A Cleveland would be a blast in one of these!
Aww yes! I was anxiously awaiting this video and it was worth the wait!!!
Thanks, Jackosn!
I ALWAYS liked the II better than the fox body because it looked more like Mustang. VERY COOL project
Thanks brother! I recently supercharged it as well, you should check out my newer videos!
Agreed. The foxbody looks like an ecoturd. This is a real stang
@@jsbehucbejizveishIn reality the mustang 2 was an ecoturd lol
The fox is a better handling and easier to mod. They took away the mustang horse for years during the fox days.
Keep the videos coming! Looks like a ton of fun.
It definitely is! Unfortunately, there a bit of a parts shortage for some things I still need, but we'll get it done!
Awesome dude! I got to come check it out soon!
You need to!
Great man father and son and girl friend mustang + coyote wow what a great day 🤩🏁🏁🏁🏁🤙✌👍💯😎
Definitely was! I have an updated video taking them for a ride with the new supercharger! You should check it out!
czcams.com/video/lk8sD2YJORg/video.html
OMG the look and grin is priceless on your Dad's face ☺️
Honestly that made it all worth it!
I bet it did..... Made your Dad live his youth for a brief moment.... Amazing.... I won't forget it... I'm glad you got to experience it.😉
you had me at cobra II, im thinking about maybe doing a circuit racing or road racing it.
That would be a blast!
Man that thing rips. Nice job
Thanks James!
That thing sounds sick!!! Great job brother..
Thanks brother!
Too much fun!! Great job and be safe., Dave M.
Thanks Dave!
Love the king cobra 🐍
Thank you kind sir!
The look on your dad's face was priceless 😀
Oh he was lovin' it!
At 8:44 what were you chasing to your left lane? Looked like a sedan. Sounds great fun little Cobra!
it was a 2016 (not sure on year) BMW 340I. Not exactly sure but I'm pretty sure they're twin turbo inline 6's. That particular one was tuned and on E85, it's a fast car for sure especially for having 4 doors!
seen your KC at the reunion when I brought are kc out very nice swap I love it
Thanks Adam! I appreciate that. You had a beautiful king as well!
Cool build. Looks like it got beat of the line by a ....subaru?
Nope, Newer I6 turbo BMW on a tune and E85. Don't know the model, just a bunch of letters and numbers lol
That blue car next to you when you nailed the gas pulled on you. Was waiting for you to pass em up. Where did it go?
They ended up turning off!
Dude I meet u .. I bought some Mac exhaust for my coyote one day what a small world bad ass build..
Oh yeah I remember you! Your mustangs still looking great as always, I was going to use those mufflers on this car coincidentally lol
This is on my to do list but i want boost. Im looking for one now...
This car now has a GT500 blower on it and it RIPS
@@dugganracecraft I'm staring at the predator block drooling
I bought a 76 cobra 2 a few months ago, ready to start working on it
I'm excited for you! They're a ton of fun!
Hot damn Sean!!! That thing is a bloody rocket, excellent job!!
It’s been a lot of fun so far!
Bro, I salute you on a job well done..I know it's not finished, but I can wait to see the final product.
Sweet vid man !
Thanks good buddy!
I had a 76 cobra 2 and it was a Great car...302
Glad to see someone did it👍🏿👍🏿🏆
Thanks brother!
Love it ...keep rocking on
Thanks good buddy!
Hey buddy, what size of tires can you fit without rubbing? I have a 75 that I want to buy 15” for
So I have a narrowed 9" that I made specifically for these RTS's but the tire size was a 275/60r15 which is a 28" tire but I did have it raised in the rear so it wouldn't rub, it's a very tight fit lol
@@dugganracecrafttube it out, like the old school Pro Stocks👍

All very valid points!
Very cool
Thanks a lot!
nice!, what size of tire are you running on the back in this vid?, is rear axle moved forward at all?
Currently its a 275/60r15 which is a 28" tall tire, but no the front and rear axles are in their factory locations!
I've got a 76 cobra 2 running a 357 Windsor. How did you get that coyote in to fit thanks Sharman racing
A lot of cutting and welding lol I cut the rails off and the firewall and widened them 3” and lowered them 3”. It could possibly fit with out modifying the rails but I never tried it
You can fit anything you want in it, some guys put 385 series in them.
👌
FORD/ First On Race Day!
Exactly!
She didn’t hate it!!
I'd say!
That thing doesn't spin like I was thinking it would
No sir! I back-halfed it with a 4 link so that it wouldn't!
It sounds mint
Thanks good buddy! I've got a better video coming soon so stay tuned!

How do u lift the front end of this car?
I'm assuming you mean jacking it up? I just run the jack off the crossmember! Even the factory cross member is okay to jack on.
I like to hit the gas pedal to lift the front end off the ground lol
Cool like it
Thanks Pat!
"What are your first impressions?" Personal complaints ensue...
Ain't that the truth! 😂
What vehicle was that next to you at 8:18?
Not sure about the year but it's a mid 2010's BMW 340i AWD on E85, it GETS DOWN lol
Hannah’s poor neck!! I think there’s a case to be made for a whiplash lawsuit tbh
Don't tell her that!
WTH happened to that blue car that was beside you at the light at 8:44??
That was a BMW 340i, those cars are lightning fast with a tune and E85 lol
That's exactly what I was thinking 🤔
I think a stick would be cool.
I was to the point of trading my built 6R80 to a T56 magnum, went to meet the guy and got stood up so it didn't happen. Now I'm going with a supercharger so I'm glad I kept the auto!
WTF are you making
At point roughly 400 to the tire, now it’s make 700+
I mean who cares...for real...
Clearly you did since you clicked on the video numbnuts….
The envy from your post is overwhelming. And it's underatandable, this is a cool project!
I mean I care, since I specifically looked for this kinda swap.
Hey Duggan check out Lisa the 67 fastback it took me 4 years to build my car she has a 97 cobra swap also on my Facebook picks
I’ll definitely have to!
Lol!
Lol
