From: Gunther Maier [mailto: 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.

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,

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

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...

Bruce / Christian / Robert:

It has been awhile since we last communicated.

My kit delivered 1/31/2010. I drove it for the first time 7/4/2010.

My car went to paint and interior over the winter and was completed 2/17/2011. Just in time for the 2011 Dallas Autorama where it made its debut.

I have entered 9 shows and taken 9 1st place plaques or trophies.

I wanted to send a note to say "Thank you" for building me an amazing engine. The 418W stroker gets tons of comments and has provided me 7500+ miles of troublefree joy. A few adjustments and a couple oil changes is all I have had to do.

As you can tell, I drive it as often as possible.

Remember the black pulleys, valve covers, and air cleaner?

The car was photographed back in March 2011 and will be making an appearance in Kit Car Builder magazine at some point.

Here are some pics of the final product.

Thank you again for a great product.

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 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.

Photos attached.

Kind Regards,

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.

Subject: 347 Stroker

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!!

right up. It ran and sounded great! I can't wait to drive my Cobra in a few

SATISFIED CUSTOMER LETTER

Matt. I've been somewhat tardy in letting you know how the 450 HP 383 Stroker motor is working. I now have 2 summers and 10,000 plus miles on it and it's as strong as the day we first started it. It's everything that you said it would be and still as pretty as a picture. I just completed Hot Rod Magazines Drag Week, running 1100 miles in 4 days and making 22 consistent passes at 5 tracks. I've hooked it to a 700R4 with a 3800 FTI stall converter. The attached photo tells the story. The next time I need an engine, I won't even bother shopping; I'll just call you and order what I want. Your service, delivery, and after the fact help is over and above. Thank-you for a great experience.

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

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

Bruce / Robert,

I just want to say thanks to all of you, especially Robert for the beautiful engine. Robert, I don't know how to thank you for the awesome work and attention to detail you applied to this engine, you truly are a talented man, this thing looks amazing. We'll be dropping it in this weekend, and I'll send pics when it's ready to be fired up. Watched the video, and I'm impressed with the tone of this monster. I wish I would have come to you guys 3 years ago, I would be driving this Cobra by now... I will have no problem answering people when they ask, Who did your engine??

Thanks so much!!

I received the engine ahead of schedule! It arrived in excellent shape. It’s been a little while getting the 69 Camaro ready to receive it but, it’s in and here’s what I think of it.

I am sold!!!! You guys do an outstanding job building these motors and your customer service is second to none! The performance is better than advertised. I love it! Matt it was a pleasure doing business with you. Brad thanks for the excellent work!

If you’re ever out in New Mexico, give me a call I’ll buy you guys an adult beverage of your choice.

Hi Matt,

Just a quick message to say how thrilled I am with my 383 Chevy stroker engine. Although it has been in the car for over 3 years, I went down to Le Mans this weekend for the Classic and it was faultless. I had a chance to do a few laps of the circuit whilst there and am so impressed by the way it performed, the power and the noise down the pit straight were incredible. Many thanks for building me such an impressive engine.

I’ve included a picture of the engine.
