Chris & Bruce

It’s been almost 5 years since I ordered my HO 302/375 HP Engine.
My FFR MK3 roadster project is finally coming to a close with paint and final assembly. I’ve had several test runs and this motor is a beast. I want to thank you and your assembly team for delivering such a great product. The motor ran great from day one. This really was the right power to weight ratio for this frame. Both friends and family always comment on the engine dress package. Not only does it have great internal components for performance it also looks great as well.

Thanks Again and I won’t hesitate to recommend your engines to future FFR builders.

Again many thanks

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.

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!…

Thanks guys for Great service and an Awesome engine for my Camaro.

I have received many compliments about the Engine it runs and sounds awesome.

It is everything you said it would be.

Thanks,

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.

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…!

Thanks again!

Matt this is one awesome engine! I am totally happy with my engine. Engine factory builds the best engines in my opinion in the world! I love the stamp you strategically place on the intake housing which is, “MADE IN THE U.S.A.” Awesome! It responds well when you accelerate and with the dual flowmasters talking through the exhaust pipes makes me the envy of the town. Thanks Engine Factory for a beautiful well-crafted engine…

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.

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!

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.

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.

This thing fits like a glove.  I’m very pleased with the engine and service I will keep you posted as we finish up the car.

Thanks!

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

Question: How long have you been in Business and do you have any referrals.
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.

Question: Why should I buy from you?, what makes your company different.
Answer: We established in 1969 same owner and family run for 50 years Very knowledgeable, always answers questions, Emails, Text, and Phone this rare today.

Question: Can I pick out colors and accessory items that make my engine Special.
Answer: Yes of course that is what makes us so special, Tell us what you want to accomplish, how you want it to run, how to look, and how to sound, we will listen and answer your questions and make intelligent choices from our experience, we never try to up sell you.

Question: Do you warranty your engines in house or sell them out to an Independent insurance company that usually denies every claim.
Answer: Our warranty has always been in house, the truth of the matter is we have the lowest warranty rate of any engine company 142,000 Facebook Fans can’t be wrong. Here are the reasons, we use all American quality parts, we live run the engines for 1 hour and do 30 different inspections, engines are assembled by an ASE Certified Family member.

Question:How do I know my engine will arrive safely, and am I protected against Fraud.
Answer: We always suggest you make your Purchase with a credit card, this totally protects you! we only use the Best Freight companies and your engine is professionally sealed up, we use UPS Freight and FedEx freight exclusively.

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.

Well we finally put the engine in and it is running great. I would like to thank you and your team for doing such a great job on my sons and my 68 Camaro. The engine was far past both of our expectations. You and your team truly lived up to your reputation and I would highly recommend you to everyone. We took it to our first show in New Smyrna and it was a head turner.

Thanks again for doing such a great job and we will enjoy it for many years to come.

Best,

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.

I really have to say how impressed I am with how the engine looks, how it ran in the video, your communication throughout the process, the way you ship and communicate the tracking process and how you show all of the wonderful power plants you put on Facebook. This is a piece of artwork that will set my Mustang apart from most others. Please thank Tim for doing a wonderful job and I will forward photos of my finished project hopefully by spring.

Thank you again,

Hi Bruce,

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.

Regards and many thanks,

Joe C
