Customer Reviews

Bruce and Matt,

Thanks for the Fine engine you built for my ’34 Ford two door sedan.
The engine is good to go and runs like its suppose to.
Thanks for the time you put in on the set up and workmanship that went into the build.
It saved me a lot of time getting the 4.3 out and the 350 in.

Thanks goes out to your guys that made my day.

HI Matt

Wanted to give you an update on the 408 stroker MOPAR engine you built for my 1977 Dodge Warlock. Finally got the truck finished and I am real pleased with the engine package. You guys went the extra mile to ensure I had a Top of the Line Package. The transmission you recommended, was a perfect selection. Your technical bulletins prior to starting the engine were great. Helped us to avoid any missed steps, in preparing the engine to fire for the first time. The truck is a Beast, not only does it look good, but it has more power than one can imagine. Your engines do make Horsepower. Scared myself on the second road trip I took, LOTS OF POWER. I appreciate your attention to detail, and your customer support. Keep up the GOOD WORK.

Thanks

Hi Matt,

After receiving my 430HP 350 Chev Cobra engine from your factory to New Zealand, I would like to thank and complement you and your team for the very professional job you have done on my engine. The engine arrived without a mark on it.

I am delighted with the attention to detail on the finish of the engine and your total commitment to my order details and accommodation of my late change of belt system change.

A very hansom engine admired by all who get to see it.

Thank you & kind regards,

Simon Dawn

They built the 383 460hp for my 69 Chevelle. It’s been in the car now for 6 or so years and it has always performed flawlessly. Thank you

Hi, Bruce and Tim .

I thought you might want some pictures of my car and your engine.

Thanks for a great motor.

Hi Matt & Bruce,

Well it is finally completed. If anyone out there is thinking of purchasing a engine look no further then the Engine Factory!! The engine was flawless as well as a heck of a looker. Working with Matt and Bruce was a pleasure, Matt walked me through the selection along with the process of putting the engine together. Bruce kept me up to date with photo’s of the engine from start to finish. This 383 Stroker with the 450 HP definitely puts the stock 190 HP to shame. Although this 1973 Corvette Stingray has a 3.08 rear-end (helps with gas mileage on weekend cruises) it will still lay down the rubber. The first time the wife drove it she took off from a stop and looked down at the speedometer and was doing 70 in nothing flat. Awesome!! Again it was a total pleasure working with both of you and yes I would do it again in a heartbeat, and will when we move on to another rod! Attached are some photos of the car.

Thanks again Matt & Bruce

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

Matt,
I wanted to thank you and your team for doing such a great job building the engine for my Cobra. It was great to find such a great company so close to home when I was looking for an engine builder for my Cobra. The engine looks great, sounds great and runs great. I really enjoyed working with you and your team. I highly recommend your company for anyone considering a performance engine.

Dear Engine Factory,

After many years I finally completed the Ford Capri mk1 V8 Perana full restoration.

I am so proud that you supplied the 302 373 bhp engine which is now powering the historic race/rally car. It’s an awesome engine.

Thank you

Kind regards

Bruce,

I finally got my engine installed. It runs great, looks great, and the power increase over my old engine is fantastic! I have attached a photo of my 72 Chevy C10 with the new engine installed.

Thank you for a quality product.

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.

Regards,

hi Bruce and Folks…

…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.

regards to the team at Engine Factory!

Bruce I would like to add with your email here that I did check out other engine builders and you are right many of them use used or overseas parts from Japan. or China not good. Your engine not only looks good but also runs better than it looks. I am very pleased with the performance of my engine. Also pleased with the service that I got when I purchased the engine. and questions after the purchase. This is where all others fail. You were polite courteous and gave me the answers that I need it. Which incidentally was very nice of you. You made me a lifetime customer. Thanks again Les Wentz   3/30/19

Questions and answers Before you consider making an Engine Purchase on the Internet.

Question:Why are there so many different prices for engines that look similar on the internet.

Outstanding service and support, sales team went above and beyond to help me match my performance needs with budget, detailed updates as build progressed, team always willing and helpful in answering questions..great job.. Amazing final engine package .. Highly recommend.

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.

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

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,

James Jones

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.
