“I purchased a crate motor from Engine Factory in 2012. This week, while compiling documentation for the purchase, I was unable to locate the original invoice. I contacted Bruce who, initially, was less than optimistic about locating the invoice, yet was more than willing to search for it. With the limited information I provided, Bruce was successful in locating the invoice and provided a copy the next day. Much appreciated!”
Thank you, Bruce!
I found the Engine Factory on Facebook. I watched & read everything that was on there. I then went on the website. I also read Everything on there. No one has more knowledge than they do. I talked to Bruce many times. He was always Courteous, & eager to help me with any, & all questions. I have even emailed him late at night. (Sunday @ 10:30 pm). He responded in ten minutes!! I asked him why he responded. Bruce said: Customers always come first. He’s been a great salesman to work with. I got to see some pictures of the engine, as it was being assembled. When completed, I got to see the final product, & watch them run it on video. It’s all preset, & broken in, ready to run. They crated it up & shipped it to me. I can’t wait to get it installed & drive it. Thank you Bruce, & All your team. Brad Schuler

Engine Factory:
If you would have seen my 42-year-old engine that’s been sitting in storage for over 20 years – you would have said “your dreaming”. That’s exactly what I feel like – “I’m dreaming”. The Engine Factory did an AMAZING job rebuilding my 1980 Camaro Z28 engine while more than doubling the horsepower. It looks unbelievable and sounds great. They sent me pictures of the process and sent a video when it was completed and of being run tested. If this engine runs half as good as it looks – I’m on cloud nine.
The team is very responsive, keeps you in the loop and takes your requests and changes the build with no issues. They changed my crankshaft so it’s not too loud and changed the ignition wires and I only had one discussion with them. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Now, I’m not done. I couldn’t believe the instructions they sent along with the final build details. They told me what parts to replace, what my installer needs to look out for and tips on running and installing the engine. That was worth as much as the build itself. I would not be too happy if my installer missed something small and ruined the engine.
THANK YOU, ENGINE FACTORY !! I CAN’T WAIT TO ACTUALLY DRIVE THE CAR ONCE IT’S ALL DONE.
Will be my turn to send you pictures and a video when my car is all done.

“I was researching a small block high performance engine for my 69 corvette build. From the first call with Bruce I knew the Engine Factory was the place for me. They are knowledgeable and experienced. They delivered me a well sorted out, labeled 383 stroker 550 HP in Record time. The engine went into car flawlessly. These guys are not the cheapest but the best things in life rarely are. I would highly recommend this company.”
Thanks for everything,
Don Shiffer
I first learned of Bruce and his company through a good friend of mine whom met Bruce last fall and the two of them engaged in car engine talk. Leo has been around performance cars most of his life and he himself has a prized 1966 Corvette with a 502 big block crate engine. The two of them engaged in “motor talk’. Leo was very impressed with Bruce’s knowledge about engine building, performance and the fact his family has owned and operated this company for so many years. I had no idea Leo and Bruce ever met or knew each other. In early March I mentioned to Leo I was considering buy a new engine for my Corvette. Without hesitation Leo immediately put it out on the table “you should look at Engine Factory” as a result of his personal conversation with the owner and the knowledge exchanged between the two of them in that conversation. I was contemplating another company which I called first and it was an immediate turn off for me as they tried instead to sway me into buying something already put together…. it didn’t have the valve or air cleaner covers or components I actually wanted. I would have had to change these parts myself. When I called Engine Factory the owner himself answers the phone. He asked me a few questions about what I was trying to do, what my goals were and the vehicle this engine would go into. Right off he was very knowledgeable and already was aware of things that would and wouldn’t work on this car due to its design and clearance issues, etc. He honestly made me feel very comfortable about the purchase process and assured me of a great outcome. I have emailed and called Bruce a number of times with various questions after initiating the requirements for the build and no matter how busy he was, he “always” took the time to answer my questions. My engine is now being shipped and I should have it here in couple of days From what I’ve experienced thus far I would highly recommend Bruce and his Engine Factory company.

Bruce at the Engine Factory is a consummate professional. From the initial inquiry to shipping of our new 302/350HP beauty, Bruce was available to answer questions and guide our decisions. We purchased this engine for my son’s 1965 Mustang coupe, which previously had a 289 engine. Bruce helped us with the decisions regarding components and basically just made everything very easy. The best part is that the engine arrived 1 month earlier than anticipated – even in the post-Covid supply chain disaster. Congratulations, Bruce and your team, on excellence in customer service and quality!
We are waiting for the engine to arrive tomorrow and will photograph the engine with the mechanic and River and I will post to Socials…! Will tag you! Sent to Engine factory 5/12/22
Thanks again!

I’d like to thank the Engine Factory for building my 302. It was built just as I had ordered and looks great. The video’s of the engine and of the engine run were outstanding. The build time was faster than expected and shipping to my rod shop was just as fast. Hats off to the Engine Factory I’ll be sure to mention where my motor was built to all my friends recommend them for their next build. Thanks so much for such a timely build and great service.

Hello,
We often spend time sending messages of complaint or irritation but tonight I wanted to send a note of appreciation regarding the Engine Factory, a business located in Lebanon New Jersey. A year ago, I undertook a project to restore a vintage Ford Bronco. Along the way, I have engaged no less than 40+ sellers of parts, components, and services as I am set to complete the project next month. The Engine Factory has easily been the best business I have dealt with throughout this process. Bruce Nelson has been exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, a great communicator, and the work he and his shop have delivered has been first class from start to finish. It was such a pleasure doing business with Bruce and his team that I wanted to drop a note of recognition and appreciation. I hope you can find a way to pass this along to Bruce with some thanks for the business I am sure he is bringing to New Jersey.

Hi Bruce,
I hope all is good with you. The video attached was taken in late October at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis (Brownsburg). I turned 6.6 seconds in the 1/8th mile with the new 434 stroker that you built for me. Not bad for only the second time down the track with this new motor. With a few adjustment’s I might possibly get in the mid to low 5’s with it in the 1/8th mile which is very respectful !
I was only able to take a few passes before the season ended but was very impressed with this motor. Can’t wait for spring to get here and get the Nova back on the track !! Please take care and stay in touch !
Thank you, Ron

Just wanted to let you guys know I finally installed my engine, I bought it four years ago. Fogged the cylinders with WD-40 and it started on the second crank (I had the kill switch off or it would have started on the first). Great job guys, it sounds fantastic, I had neighbors coming from up and down the street when they heard it start uncapped. Everything you said in your ads and when selling the engine was true. Not a leak, not a miss, no cosmetic defects it simply runs perfect.
Thanks,

Engine Factory,
When my original engine started giving me problems and because I have limited mechanical abilities I
found that the crate motor approach suited my needs. I researched many other companies and no one was able to compare to yours.
I finally decided to give Matt a call and he patiently and professionally assisted me with the order. I found all the information that I needed posted on your web site .
The motor arrived at the shop on time as promised and was a sight to see. The 350/400 was mated to a 5sp Tremic and the installation was completed without any major problems.
The motor runs fantastic and has plenty of torque to move the 1980 GMC Truck

…the transmission arrived Friday and the engine, as scheduled, yesterday…both packages received were in perfect un-damaged shipping containers.
…briefly the engine is striking. I’ll write at greater length and get some postings up on Facebook within the next day or two.
…the entire process of working with ‘Engine Factory’ on this project has been very reassuring and most importantly professional…from the pre-build questions and answers to the actual build sequence and finally shipping to this customer.
…the entire process was ‘stepped’ perfectly.

Todd Hallsten, my father, bought his 350 Chevy from Bruce when I was a young buck. BOY does that 68 RS run like a raped ape. It’s a goal on mine to install one in my own classic when I find one and have the funds. The motor in my father’s Camaro has started like new every time for the past 10 years with no tinkering at all, and I mean at all. Enginefactory will be my first call when the day comes.
Thanks again Bruce.

Bruce,
I just wanted to send a follow-up email to thank you for the unbelievable customer service I have received before, during and after the purchase of my 383 stroker. From my initial phone call to inquire about purchasing a motor to the follow up phone calls to finalize and custom tailor the motor to what I wanted, Matt answered every question completely. Matt outlined the whole process and assured me everything would be done as per our conversation. To my surprise everything DID go as Matt said it would, from the pictures of my motor being built, watching it run live on the stand, to the delivery of it. I know I have said this numerous times but my engine purchase had to be one of the easiest purchases I made during the restoration of my 67 Camaro. (Matt, Thanks again for all your help!!) I would also like to thank you for allowing me to trailer my Camaro down to your production facility in Lebanon, NJ for Jersey boyz (Tim, Brad and Rob) to adjust the timing and carburetor 2 years after it was built.
You have a good group of guys up here, all three jumped right in to help get my engine dialed in perfectly. It now starts, idles and runs amazing. Now I can’t wait to finish the restoration and put some miles on it! Please post my email in the customer’s letters section as another COMPLETELY SATISFIED customer. I still owe the Jersey Boyz lunch or at least a couple of beers.
Sincerely,

Matt.
I’ve been somewhat tardy in letting you know how the 450 HP 383 Stroker motor is working. I now have 2 summers and 10,000 plus miles on it and it’s as strong as the day we first started it. It’s everything that you said it would be and still as pretty as a picture. I just completed Hot Rod Magazines Drag Week, running 1100 miles in 4 days and making 22 consistent passes at 5 tracks. I’ve hooked it to a 700R4 with a 3800 FTI stall converter. The attached photo tells the story. The next time I need an engine, I won’t even bother shopping; I’ll just call you and order what I want. Your service, delivery, and after the fact help is over and above.
Thank-you for a great experience.

Hi Matt,
Just a quick message to say how thrilled I am with my 383 Chevy Stroker engine. Although it has been in the car for over 3 years, I went down to Le Mans this weekend for the Classic and it was faultless. I had a chance to do a few laps of the circuit whilst there and am so impressed by the way it performed, the power and the noise down the pit straight were incredible. Many thanks for building me such an impressive engine.
I’ve included a picture of the engine.

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.

I received my engine Friday. The engine is so “beautiful” that I almost do not want to “dirty it up” by installing it in the car. I am extremely impresed with the meticulous detail that went into building this engine, with the conveyance of the critical information that is needed for the installation, and also the detail that went into the preparation for shipment. I would highly recommend your company in a heartbeat.
