Matt,

Here is a shot of the Chevy 383 Stroker motor that I ordered from the Engine Factory.  The engine was delivered in June of 2008.  The motor was mounted on the frame and sat covered while all of the body work went on around it.  Finally last week (2/20/2009) we were able to finish the fuel line and run electrical to the motor.  The motor fired to life immediately after priming the system with fuel.  The motor runs smoothly but can definitely feel the 460 hp pounding the floor. 

Thanks again for the outstanding service prior to the sale and afterward answering my questions.  I’m excited to get it out for a drive!

Hey Matt, Bruce, & Brad

Here are the pictures of my engine installed. This 502 bb is awesome!! The end dyno is 549hp, wow! I tell one and all about you and the great job you did. I must also add that you can take a 350z by 20 cars in a 3500lb Chevelle with a Engine Factory 502, or even better  why not spank a few Corvettes while your at it!!

If you can't tell I'm having a blast!! Thanks

Thanks,

Matt,

Attached are a couple of photos of your engine installed in my 1974 Corvette.

I want to sincerely thank you for all you help, advice, and answering all our dumb technical questions on installing this motor.

The motor runs like a top and I could not be more pleased with the way she runs.

Thanks for all your support and I sincerely recommend The Engine Factory if you are looking for a reasonably priced, high performance quality engine.

Sincerely,

Stan Cochrane

Hello matt and Bruce ;     

Wanted to take a minute too say WOW, installed 430 hp 350 in my 69 firebird , hooked everything up and presto , my baby is back with a serious heartbeat , turned over nicely , and has all the ka-chug I wanted ,a real muscle car sound , I received the motor in great time and must comment that the 2000 miles it traveled to get to west coast of Canada , worried me , motor showed up looking like it had been shipped across town ,not north America , too any one on the fence about ordering a motor from the engine factory , have great faith that you ARE in very good hands , all my many questions were answered in a quick professional manner , Once again thank you for all your time and your product , I must go there is a open road somewhere calling my name , thanks again  !!

Hi Matt,

Above are pictures of our ride, original owner, 319,000 miles so far, 17,000 on your engine.

It runs really strong and no issues since installation.

I gave some new (everybody is newer) Vettes a run for the money the other night at a ½ mile asphalt track doing hot laps.

I am running the 3:08 rear end for highway, last week 18 miles per gallon, running 70-75 on the four lane, 180 mile check.

Thanks again,

Hi Matt

A note of thanks for all your care and attention prior, during and following the order and building of my new 502 motor. I have never experienced the level of communication and service we received from the Engine Factory. The promptly answered emails, returned telephone calls and courtesy calls made the purchase a pleasure. If all Companies copied your after-sales service our business would be more fun.

The motor is awesome. I have owned this Chevy since 1998, having rebuilt it chassis-up. This is the third engine I have run in it and certainly the most impressive. Due to the power and massive torque, I now have to upgrade the rear 12 bolt axle & larger UJ’s as their life has become limited

Be assured, when I require another Chevy motor, for automotive or marine, The Engine Factory will have our business.

Kind regards,

Greg

Hi Matt,

Just wanted to say many thanks for supplying the 383 Stroker engine for my Camaro, it runs great, my mechanic was impressed with the quality and price, and he's spent the last 30 years working on US cars over here.

I'm just coming up to the 500 mile oil change now, so some more miles after that and I can let her rip. I have a track at Silverstone booked in September so hopefully it'll be ready to run hard by then. I need to sort out few things such as the very heavy and short throw of the clutch, and I'm sure it will a pleasure to drive.
 
Many thanks again...

Matt and Bruce,
 
I have read the letters posted on Engine Factory's web pages, and to the letter they all praise the performance of the engine they received.
 
But when you purchase a product with a sizeable amount of currency you expect it to perform the way it was advertised to do so. The Engine Factory is no exception to this expectation and it's assuring to know your company lives up to its web page pledge.
 
Not only am I grateful for my engine and its performance but also for the Engine Factory's integrity and communication that stands behind that engine.
 
 Thank you,  and may your tribe increase

HI MATT,                                                        May 15, 2008

WELL HERE IS SOME PICTURES OF MY CAR. I BOUGHT THE 383 STROKER, 500 HORSEPOWER AND YOU WERE RIGHT IT WAS A PLUG AND PLAY DEAL. WE PUT THE MOTOR IN, HOOKED EVERYTHING UP, TURNED THE KEY AND IT SOUNDED REALLY AWESOME. THE CAR HAS A BIG LUMPY IDLE (WHICH REALLY I WANTED) AND SOUNDS REALLY GOOD THROUGH 3" EXHAUST WITH MAGNA FLOW MUFFLERS. THE CAR RUNS GREAT AND STRONG BUT HAVEN'T PUT MY FOOT INTO AS YET BECAUSE OF BREAK IN TIME. ANYONE THAT WOULD WANT A CRATE MOTOR I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU GUYS TO BUILD THE MOTOR. YOU WERE SO VERY HELPFUL THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. THANK BRAD FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB BUILDING THE MOTOR. I ALSO REALLY LIKED THE PICTURES WHILE YOU WERE BUILDING THE MOTOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOUR COMPANY TO ALL. THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN.
