Bruce Your Chevy Engine installed and running in my Cobra replica, sounds and looks great

January 16 at 4:19 AM ·

Excellent Company! They take the time to talk to someone about their thoughts and their needs for an engine. In return I was asked what kind of vehicle, rear gear size and if manual transmission and how it would be used. Bruce then recommended the engine he thought would give what I was looking for. Answered all my questions and I Never sensed that there was a rush to get off the phone. In the end I got a beautiful engine that looks and sounds awesome! Thanks to everyone at the engine factory for a job well done!!! Dale Finney

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.

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!

Bruce,

Here’s a pic of the engine installation in my T bucket.

At this time I would like to thank The Engine Factory, especially Matt & Brad for the outstanding customer service I received with the carburetor issue I had the other day. Customer service like this is hard to find anywhere.

Thanks again,

Joe Kalke

To be honest I do not have words for what you have built for me; You exceeded all my expectations!

Also even with the big cam the inlet manifold vacuum is amazing, Oil pressure is perfect! I get tears in my eyes looking at the photos

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.

Hi Bruce – Matt,

The engine that Engine Factory built for me is still on the shipping pallet.

I start it all the time just love the sound it is better than watching TV.

The engine starts easy and runs great.

Brad did an excellent job.

The cam in this engine is really nice.

The racy idle is exactly what I wanted.

Thank you for a quality Engine Factory product and the really good info on your website.

Hello Everyone at the Engine Factory,

I wanted to take a bit of your time this morning to personally Thank everyone at the Engine Factory for the great work they did in helping me build my 302 Crate Engine 350hp.

It has been a long 3 year journey for a car novice like me in getting my 302 Crate Engine in my 67 Mustang. It was a great hit at my recent Wedding that took place 28 May 2017.

I couldn’t have done it without the professional help from your company that assisted me throughout the purchase and continued to assist me well after the purchase of the engine.

I would like to personally thank Christian, Tim, Brad, Bruce and Matt and everyone else behind the scenes, that assisted me and helped me make my dream come true.

Thank You so much.

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

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.
Mike

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.
Answer: Similar is the key word here, many companies will take advantage of customers that are not familiar with certain key words to describe their products and many will misrepresent what is include by using certain parts as props to make them look like it is included, use this link to be sure you get what you pay for. Always Compare before you Buy

Answer:We have been in business since 1969 We have over 140,000 Facebook fans and hundreds of 5 star ratings, on our website, many of our customers will actually post up their email address and they love to talk about their cars and our service.  5-Star Customer Reviews

Question: How can I check to see if a company has a lot of complaints?
Answer: Go to Google and put in the name of the Engine Builder, Not the name of who you are buying it from, type in Builders Name, city, state, and complaints, you will see who the good guys are.

Back in 2002, I received my 302 in California – Packaging was first rate… now in Hawaii and after close to 165K miles the engine is rock solid – smooth as a baby’s bottom – I have to replace the rocker gaskets and – while at it- the intake gaskets…I was unsure of the port size for gasket selection so sent a note to the Engine Factory…. got a rapid response with part #’s and install tips/cautions.
Now that is customer-centric service – and after 14 years!

Thank you Sirs!…

Bruce,

After 2 years and 4 months the Camaro is done. The 383 Stroker is incredible!!!

This is my second awesome engine from you. I will call you for my next project.

Great service and a beautiful engine. I have some time before I install it but my experience with Engine Factory has been stellar so far. You can tell the business is family-owned and they take a lot pf pride in their work.

From: Gunther Maier [gman1954@me.com]

I did a long research with different crate engine companies. The Engine Factory, Matt and Bruce, is absolutely amazing.

They built the engine for my needs, I am towing my Harley once in a while. Also when you have questions, they will have an answer for you!

Get the matching March serpentine system also, it not only looks great but works even better. The engine is hot tested and runs right out of the box. Everybody who has seen it so far is just wowed. I wanted a daily driver I can depend on and that is what I got.

This was one of the best decisions I made on the truck!

Good luck, give them a call you will not regret it.

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
