Customer Reviews

Bruce,

I just wanted to send a follow-up email to thank you for the unbelievable customer service I have received before, during and after the purchase of my 383 stroker. From my initial phone call to inquire about purchasing a motor to the follow up phone calls to finalize and custom tailor the motor to what I wanted, Matt answered every question completely. Matt outlined the whole process and assured me everything would be done as per our conversation. To my surprise everything DID go as Matt said it would, from the pictures of my motor being built, watching it run live on the stand, to the delivery of it. I know I have said this numerous times but my engine purchase had to be one of the easiest purchases I made during the restoration of my 67 Camaro. (Matt, Thanks again for all your help!!) I would also like to thank you for allowing me to trailer my Camaro down to your production facility in Lebanon, NJ for Jersey boyz (Tim, Brad and Rob) to adjust the timing and carburetor 2 years after it was built.
You have a good group of guys up here, all three jumped right in to help get my engine dialed in perfectly. It now starts, idles and runs amazing. Now I can’t wait to finish the restoration and put some miles on it! Please post my email in the customer’s letters section as another COMPLETELY SATISFIED customer. I still owe the Jersey Boyz lunch or at least a couple of beers.

Sincerely,

Derek D.

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

They don’t mess around they do their job and get it back to you in and good time. I never dealt with a place that was so nice and consider it. Even answer your questions if you have any.

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.

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.

Ray Show Any man that can play with a engine while wearing a white sweater I will buy an engine from you!!!

I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the beautiful 383 Stroker you built for my 1974 Chevelle. I must admit I was a little apprehensive about making a purchase of that magnitude sight unseen. Matt was extremely patient and detailed with all aspects of the build from start to finish to delivery and even after service. I can’t thank you enough Matt for treating me with respect and a person not just a sale! This engine is a beast and my brother is smiling down on me and riding with me. If your looking at other places there is no comparison buy engine factory or don’t buy it!!!

They build beautiful outstanding engines! This is my second one. Brad built them both. The first one was in ’09. Their experience and quality is what keeps bringing me back. Matt made sure everything was exactly what I wanted…right down to my silly bolt requests. Everyone over there is great to work with as well.
Thanks again guys…Matt, Brad, and Bruce!

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.

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

Hi Bruce,

I hope all is good with you. The video attached was taken in late October at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis (Brownsburg). I turned 6.6 seconds in the 1/8th mile with the new 434 stroker that you built for me. Not bad for only the second time down the track with this new motor. With a few adjustment’s I might possibly get in the mid to low 5’s with it in the 1/8th mile which is very respectful !

I was only able to take a few passes before the season ended but was very impressed with this motor. Can’t wait for spring to get here and get the Nova back on the track !! Please take care and stay in touch !

Thank you, Ron

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,

7 years ago me and a couple of other friends bought our engines from them. My engine in particular was a 347 stroker with 425 hp that went into an FFR Roadster MK3. Car weighed barely 2,300 lbs.! It had Edelbrock carb but ran smooth like it had an EFI setup. Today the engine starts up just like I did the first time… I’m going to do a GT40 replica project soon and looks like someone’s phone will be ringing again soon..

Hey just thought I would send you a picture of your engine in my Corvette. It is a beast!

Thanks for everything,

Matt

Bruce, Tim and Christian,

Here is my 347 Stroker running for the first time. Absolutely awesome!

Thank you, Tim, for doing such an excellent job with the build.

Thanks to the whole Engine Factory team for putting together easy to follow instructions and providing great service. I recommend Engine Factory to all FFR Roadster builders.

Best regards,

Dan – DCampau@Flow-Rite.com

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.

Regards Dean Monteleone
