Being a woman, and being far from a mechanic, I somewhat expected to be treated a bit differently, especially with the many questions I had, but that wasn’t the case at all with the Engine Factory family. They were very supportive and helpful in every way. I was beyond impressed with everything about them- from all my phones calls w/questions, fast email replies to even more questions, the email updates of the engine being built, detailed installation instructions, build time, delivery time…..everything. But nothing was more impressive than the engine itself. I wanted to put it in my living room for a few weeks just to stare at it! LOL Just love it! I have another classic car (Mopar) I’m thinking of getting a new engine for sometime in the future and, without a doubt, I’ll be calling the Engine Factory again. You guys are simply Top Notch. Thank you again for all that you do and all that you’ve done. Keep up the outstanding work!

Matt this is one awesome engine! I am totally happy with my engine. Engine factory builds the best engines in my opinion in the world! I love the stamp you strategically place on the intake housing which is, “MADE IN THE U.S.A.” Awesome! It responds well when you accelerate and with the dual flowmasters talking through the exhaust pipes makes me the envy of the town. Thanks Engine Factory for a beautiful well-crafted engine…

I bought my 383 engine 3 years ago and it has been one of the best engines I have ever run. I had a small problem with the motor which was sent to me and I notified Matt of my concerns. Matt allowed me to keep the engine in my Nova to finish the remainder of the car shows that I was scheduled to be in, and then had the engine picked up and took care of the problem without hesitation! These guys truly stand behind their products. My next project will surely have an Engine Factory engine as well. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions

I just received my new Chevy 350/400 HP engine today from the Engine Factory. My relationship with Bruce and Matt has been outstanding. This Beautiful engine will be installed into a 1955 Chevy 210.

I would highly recommend the Engine Factory team to build your next engine.

WoW!!!  First I want to say,  JOB WELL DONE!!

I received my 350 and it is GREAT. After my previous fiasco with another company, yes I installed there engine twice. They still couldn’t get it right. So I turned to Bruce & Matt at the Engine Factory. Best decision I have made in a long while. I installed it, and she runs like, lets just say “SWEET” I want to thank all involved in building a fine engine. Now I can finally enjoy my 1971 Chevy Nova!!

If your reading this and you have not decided on where to purchase your engine, let me just say, you are already there! “THE ENGINE FACTORY”

Thanks again!!!

Matt & Brad,

I received the engine ahead of schedule! It arrived in excellent shape. It’s been a little while getting the 69 Camaro ready to receive it but, it’s in and here’s what I think of it.

I am sold!!!! You guys do an outstanding job building these motors and your customer service is second to none! The performance is better than advertised. I love it! Matt it was a pleasure doing business with you. Brad thanks for the excellent work!

If you’re ever out in New Mexico, give me a call I’ll buy you guys an adult beverage of your choice.

Thanks,

Todd

Hi Matt,

I just wanted to send a brief message to let you know that my 350/375 hp engine is running to perfection. Thanks to you, my 82 Vet now has the power, the muscle, the punch that I’ve always wanted. : }

Its not often that one can do business with a company that actually lives up to their reputation. I’m happy to say that you and the folks at The Engine Factory have done just that. Everything arrived on time and as described on your website, which by the way, is a very useful site.

Its been a real pleasure doing business with you. Your knowledge, professionalism, suggestions, support, etc. has far exceeded my
expectations. Moreover, your accessibility and willingness to help during and after my transaction is very reassuring.

So, thanks Matt for making this a very pleasurable experience. You guys are phenomenal!!

PS

Attached is a picture of the installed engine.

Bruce thanks for the 408 Stroker you made for me. Your team exceeded my expectations. The engine arrived on time, was easy to install, and started right up. It ran and sounded great! I can’t wait to drive my Cobra in a few weeks. It is a great choice for Lone Star’s 7 day build!

Thanks again.

Dear Matt, Bruce and the Team

I have now done 500 miles with my new 383 stroker installed in my AC Cobra Replica and I am very very happy with both the sound and the performance. The customer service, delivery time, engine build time were all exceptional.

Thanks again
Adam Ross

Hi Bruce, Chris, Rob, etc.-

I couldn’t be happier with this engine- starts and runs great, haven’t had to do a thing except adjust the idle to my liking. Along with the upgraded new suspension and steering the car drives almost like one of Cobra’s vintage Shelby racers. Well, not quite! I’ve only been able to put about 500 miles on it, the biggest problem is not being able to open it up yet! I took it to the Mustang Car Club of New England Fall show and got a first place in the 65-66 ‘stock’ class, and was helped by the great looking engine and freshly detailed engine compartment.

To the right is a picture of the engine installed!

Thanks for your service and a great engine build.

Just to let you know we got the 383 in the car lit the fuse this morning you don’t even have to touch the gas pedal fired right up ran like a top. The cam that you put in sounds good I believe you could set a glass of water on the breather an it would never fall off motor sets there dead still . After we get the front end on the car I’ll take some pictures and send them to you. Don’t surprised if this don’t drum up some business the rod shop that’s got the car were pretty impressed with the motor the way it ran an the throttle response. Right now I’m 100% satisfied.

My 383 stocker was delivered to me on time and 100% as ordered in 2009, and 26000 miles later it still runs strong and my 49 Thames can lift the front wheels 2 feet in the air at will. Good people, good engine, good value.

Thanks Engine Factory for building me an Excellent Engine with Transmission package for my 33 Hot Rod I will send additional pictures as I finish project.

Thanks engine factory for building an awesome engine for my Dream car.

I do not have any questions., but would like to tell you how much I like your web sites, They are so informational and so easy to navigate. I will tell you truth when I was looking for my engine I kept coming back to your web site for the info I needed, when looking at other sites that didn’t offer much help. I soon realized that your company was the one I wanted to do business with. The videos made me more comfortable about handing my hard earn money over to people I didn’t know. I felt that all of you were very honest hard working people and would do what you said. I’m sorry to say that I’ve been taken by other business. So whoever designed your web site is one genius.

Thanks guys at the Engine factory for building me an awesome 427 Ford engine for my Cobra. I just got it up and running it is everything you said it would be.

It’s been almost 5 years since I ordered my HO 302/375 HP Engine.
My FFR MK3 roadster project is finally coming to a close with paint and final assembly. I’ve had several test runs and this motor is a beast. I want to thank you and your assembly team for delivering such a great product. The motor ran great from day one. This really was the right power to weight ratio for this frame. Both friends and family always comment on the engine dress package. Not only does it have great internal components for performance it also looks great as well.

Thanks Again and I won’t hesitate to recommend your engines to future FFR builders.

Again many thanks

Bruce / Christian / Robert:

It has been awhile since we last communicated.

My kit delivered 1/31/2010. I drove it for the first time 7/4/2010.

My car went to paint and interior over the winter and was completed 2/17/2011. Just in time for the 2011 Dallas Autorama where it made its debut.

I have entered 9 shows and taken 9 1st place plaques or trophies.

I wanted to send a note to say “Thank you” for building me an amazing engine. The 418W Stroker gets tons of comments and has provided me 7500+ miles of trouble free joy. A few adjustments and a couple oil changes is all I have had to do.

As you can tell, I drive it as often as possible.

Remember the black pulleys, valve covers, and air cleaner?

The car was photographed back in March 2011 and will be making an appearance in Kit Car Builder magazine at some point.

Here are some pics of the final product.

Thank you again for a great product.

Bruce / Robert,

I just want to say thanks to all of you, especially Robert for the beautiful engine. Robert, I don’t know how to thank you for the awesome work and attention to detail you applied to this engine, you truly are a talented man, this thing looks amazing. We’ll be dropping it in this weekend, and I’ll send pics when it’s ready to be fired up. Watched the video, and I’m impressed with the tone of this monster. I wish I would have come to you guys 3 years ago, I would be driving this Cobra by now… I will have no problem answering people when they ask, Who did your engine??

Thanks so much!!

Nick
