Our Customer Testimonials

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.

Hello Bruce.

It’s been a long time coming. I finally got to start that beautiful engine you built for me. It sounds incredible.  I couldn’t be happier, and I’m looking forward to getting it tagged and on the street.
Please tell Tim how much I appreciate his great work. Thank you.

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.

They built a wonderful 383 Stroker for me which went into a Moab-based 1980 Jeep CJ-7 and therefore was treated with a mild cam for low end torque. It still has plenty of hp. Matt was extremely supportive and helpful and answered all my questions. The engine is now 5 years old with almost only trail mileage and is running perfectly. Thank you guys for this super quality engine!

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.

Contemplating Engine factory? Buy with confidence!!! These guys put together a solid product! I bought a 427 stroker and it took me a long time to make up my mind to trust someone… so glad I went this route. Runs perfect, all adjusted, drop in. Very personable and they are extremely detail oriented not only on the outside, but on the inside too…. not a slap together job by any means…. F….n flies!

First car show first place!

Thanks engine factory for building me an awesome engine and all your technical support.

Here is a photo of my car in the car show this weekend. It placed First in the class they put me in against 250 entries.

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!

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

great people to deal with from start to finish ! they do what they say they are going to do . very professional.

Bruce,

My son-in-law and I installed the engine and drive train last evening.
Jim O’Connell Ford 347 Stroker

My son-in-law is rebuilding a Mustang and was going to rebuild the engine himself. Once he saw the engine you built for me he is rethinking his decision and may go with a crate motor from the Engine Factory.

“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’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.

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.

Hello Matthew and Bruce

You guys built a 383 stroker for me back in 2007 for my Corvette, it was the 475 hp Rolling Thunder engine using Etec-200 heads and the #2207 signature series cam.

Just want to tell you the motor is still running exceptionally well

I also fitted a TKO-600 manual trans (0.82 OD) and changed diff to a 3.73 ratio.

The gearing complements the motor exceptionally well.

This latest tune has unleashed the full potential of the motor, and I’d have to say its a bit scary.

It makes me feel like a teenager again.

Just thought I’d let you know that your motor continues to put a huge smile on my face when I fire it up and drive the car.

Thanks again.
regards

Bruce, we received the engine last week. All looks good.

I personally wanted to thank you and Tim for all you did.

The pics, videos, etc. are great and will go into a picture file for the build of the Mustang. You run a class act company,

Super happy with this engine!  It’s been a long project, but behind my fuel injected 347, You guys have been fantastic from day one of the build and still helpful years after delivery. I have a Tremec TKO 5 speed and a Currie 9” rear end with 31 spline axles, Tru-Trac differential, and 3:70 gears.  My exhaust starts with ceramic coated JBA long tube headers,  stainless steel 2 1/2” pipe, a pair of Borla resonators and Flowmaster 40 series mufflers.  Thank you so much.  I would recommend The Engine Factory to anyone.

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.

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

Dear Bruce, Matt and Brad,

Thank you very much for building my super 434ci stroker 550 HP engine for my 1980 camaro z28, in a way that was right on schedule, beautifully done, with such professionalism the way it was accomplished, with pictures of the step by step built up and finalizing, with a video turning the engine on and listening to the sound it makes.

I still have to put the engine on the chassis, and I will keep you posted on the progress.

I will certainly look you guys up, for my next rebuilt project.

Thank you Matt for your patience with me, and the conference calls with Bruce and Brad, to finish such a fantastic looking piece of mechanical art.

All the best,

Vicente Emilio Velutini
