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!

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,

I would like to thank Bruce and Tim for a well built 350/440hp engine.  Bruce was very knowledgeable and available to answer any questions I had pertaining my engine. When my engine arrived, ready to run out the box, it was packaged very well on a crate with instructions on every part for installation. Beautiful engine guys keep up the wonderful customer service and I would definitely be back for my next engine build.

Matt gave me great service. I ordered a 350 Chevy for my 69 Camaro and inported it to Chile in South America. The motor runs great and I have had no problems. I recommend them 100%

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

Finally got my 1969 olds all done thought I would send you some photos of the awesome 383 Chevy. you all built for me the thing about projects is they some times take a lot longer then your think, but after having that motor sit for two years it did just what you all say, it fired right up.! runs great.

Thanks

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.

Hi Robert Topping here,

Engine Factory built me a perfect engine for my 67 Camaro, When engine arrived we just sat and starred at the absolute perfection that was before our eyes. 

Bruce was easy to work with and answered the phone every time to go over all my wishes, Tim is a ASE master builder and pays attention to every detail. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of purchasing an early Muscle car engine, I have already spoken to Bruce and I am about to order two more engines for my collection. I give them the highest rating 5 stars.

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.

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.

Loving your engine!

Bruce and Matt,

You guys built me an engine 5 years ago. Last month, I finally finished the project. The engine you guys built runs great and despite sitting for about a year, fired up the first time we turned the key.

Thank you for making a solid, reliable product!

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.

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.

Bruce & Tim

I want to thank you for your excellent customer service, quality and attention to detail.

You were very communicative and responsive..  Specifically, you were helpful in recommending.

the right package for me based on my specific application.  The engine sounds and looks great and came at a very fair price.

I also love the fact you are a small family owned business. This is what our country was built on.

Thanks again,

Walter Hinz.

Hi Bruce

I hope you and everyone there at FFR & the Engine Factory are keeping well.

Just a brief note to say a big thanks to you (and the teams behind the scenes) for your help over the past 14 months… following our visit (my son & I) back in September 2015, today I received notification that my Type 65 Coupe (#F5R1000708CPB) is fully road legal here in the UK.

We first started the build on 16th March 2016 – Right Hand Drive / Complete kit / Independent rear suspension / 6.7ltr Ford 418w from The Engine Factory.

Drives & sounds amazing!!! First show booked for July ;0)

Thanks again everyone!

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!

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to write and say that even though I took delivery of my 347 stroker engine almost 6 months ago, I finally got my Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod assembled to the point that I got to start the engine for the first time
yesterday! It started right up and runs great!! We took the car on a little “go kart” ride also and the engine just purred.

Thank you so much for your help with my car. I called a couple of times to get some advice and your staff always was able to answer my questions and get me the information I needed to continue with the car build. Your
customer service is excellent.

Thanks again.

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!!

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.
