SATISFIED CUSTOMER LETTERS

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Hi Matt,

Just wanted to say many thanks for supplying the 383 Stroker engine for my Camaro, it runs great, my mechanic was impressed with the quality and price, and he's spent the last 30 years working on US cars over here.

I'm just coming up to the 500 mile oil change now, so some more miles after that and I can let her rip. I have a track at Silverstone booked in September so hopefully it'll be ready to run hard by then. I need to sort out few things such as the very heavy and short throw of the clutch, and I'm sure it will a pleasure to drive.
 
Many thanks again...

Hi Matt,

 

I just wanted to send you a note of thanks to you and all the folks at The Engine Factory. I just completed the installation of the 350 Chevy into my 1968 Camaro. It runs great and plenty strong.

 

It was an exciting moment to see and hear the car come alive after being down for 8 months while I restored a huge percentage of the mechanicals.

 

The mild cam is just perfect. It gives it a great muscle car sound without being too radical. The throttle response is fantastic! I am the envy of the neighborhood. Great job!

 

Best Regards,

Matt,

About a year ago, I bought one of your engines (350 c.u. / 400 horsepower).  It was a few weeks before I got it set in, and, until recently, I have not been able to run it very much because of other things I have had done to my 1973 Chevy Impala.

It has really been an enjoyment to me even from the point of delivery and particularly now.  I bit the financial bullet to buy from you what I really wanted, and the engine is performing accordingly as it was built to perform.

Matt and Bruce,
 
I have read the letters posted on Engine Factory's web pages, and to the letter they all praise the performance of the engine they received.
 
But when you purchase a product with a sizeable amount of currency you expect it to perform the way it was advertised to do so. The Engine Factory is no exception to this expectation and it's assuring to know your company lives up to its web page pledge.
 
Not only am I grateful for my engine and its performance but also for the Engine Factory's integrity and communication that stands behind that engine.
 
 Thank you,  and may your tribe increase

Hi  Matt,

When  I first contacted you in 2006 I had just started on my 79 El Camino , but I did know that I wanted a real nice ride but custom. My son and I stared with the  79  and kind of dreamed as we went along with the custom frame off resto. When it came to the engine at first we did not know what horsepower to get. I talked to several people who built engines but the credit went ot your website and you Matt for excellent customer service and help.

You built the best looking and running engine that I could ask for.  It started the first time and never failed since. Everybody always wants to look at the engine and the comments I get are great. I will be entering it into a cruise in show on the 5th of July this year. I hope you like the pics.

HI MATT,                                                        May 15, 2008

WELL HERE IS SOME PICTURES OF MY CAR. I BOUGHT THE 383 STROKER, 500 HORSEPOWER AND YOU WERE RIGHT IT WAS A PLUG AND PLAY DEAL. WE PUT THE MOTOR IN, HOOKED EVERYTHING UP, TURNED THE KEY AND IT SOUNDED REALLY AWESOME. THE CAR HAS A BIG LUMPY IDLE (WHICH REALLY I WANTED) AND SOUNDS REALLY GOOD THROUGH 3" EXHAUST WITH MAGNA FLOW MUFFLERS. THE CAR RUNS GREAT AND STRONG BUT HAVEN'T PUT MY FOOT INTO AS YET BECAUSE OF BREAK IN TIME. ANYONE THAT WOULD WANT A CRATE MOTOR I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU GUYS TO BUILD THE MOTOR. YOU WERE SO VERY HELPFUL THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. THANK BRAD FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB BUILDING THE MOTOR. I ALSO REALLY LIKED THE PICTURES WHILE YOU WERE BUILDING THE MOTOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOUR COMPANY TO ALL. THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Matt,

I just want to take this time to say thanks to you and your crew at the Engine Factory. The 350 400 HP engine has been installed a little over a month now, and WOW!!! The Engine has that perfect muscle car sound, and delivers an awesome amount of power. The engine from you guys put this 1978 lifted Chevy 4x4 at the top of the line. Thanks for all your help and cooperation in the buying and the talks during installation. Im so amazed at the difference in this truck, an the attention it draws now, it's AWESOME!!!! It was a pleasure doing business. Hope to again someday. If anyone reading this is looking for a great sounding, awesome looking engine right out of the box, look no further, The Engine Factory is your place!

 

Thanks Again

Hey Matt:

Yet another successful build with an Engine Factory motor! This vintage Bronco has never experienced such power with your 302. The engine, like the others I have bought from you, is terrific and flawless. It started right up and runs like a charm. I am attaching pictures of this latest project.

Until next time,

Matt,

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the Engine Factory for building a 383 Stroker 500 HP engine for me.  I could not be happier with it.  Once it was installed and tested I was immediately impressed with the amount of power it puts out.  I have driven my friends 2006 Z06, which is a monster all it's self.  I compared the power I felt in the Z06 to what I felt from the 383 and I have to say, I could not tell the difference.  the power level from the Z06 and my engine is closely matched.  Although a new Corvette is nice, I prefer the C4 Corvette over them all.  I can now keep up with my friends 505 HP Z06.

 

I am pleased to say I made the right choice by going with the Engine Factory to build an engine for my 1988 Corvette.  You have been very helpful with my concerns and I would definitely recommend the Engine Factory to anyone who is looking for a great engine.  I have attached several pictures of the car for you to look at.  Thank you Matt for all your help.

I'm well please with the service I've received from Bruce and his crew there. Those guys will go out there way to help you. I'm loving my engine, it gives me everything I want out of my 1965 impala. My nephew is buying a engine from them also for his 65 Impala. If I had to buy another engine for another Chevy, Engine factory will be my only choice. They also talk to me in ways to protect my investment. See attachment.... aluminum radiator and 700R4 Trans.

I thought you might like to see the application of your build. The engine runs great with a Monster AOD transmission. This 41 PU was purchased new by my grandfather in late 1940 and had the 4 cyl. engine. Thanks again for a great engine.

Hi guys,                                          

Here's your 383 Stroker with the retro look. Period 3x2 stombergs on an offenhauser intake, period valve covers, all this bolted up to a trick 700R4 tranny and a Explorer 9 bolt 3:55 rear end. Disc brakes all around with some vintage air comfort. Kept the car as stock as possible in and out with plenty of varooom supplied by the Engine Factory.

Thanks to all at the Engine Factory,

Guys......November of 06, I bought a 408 Ford Stroker 470HP/496LBS. I just finished my 32 Ford Dearborn Convertible this December. It now has about 500 miles on it as I am in the process of breaking it in. The engine is fabulous, it pulls great, looked great and has been trouble free. no leaks, great oil pressure and runs nice and cool. Everyone who looks at it is blown away, a Ford in a Ford with a Tremec 5 speed.....fabulous. I am running it through the new Flowmaster Super series 44's and it sounds great. You guys were great to work with, everything was done when you said it would be, delivery was prompt and it fired right up. What more can a guy wish for. You guys run a first class operation, it was a pleasure doing business with you. I will get my next engine from, but it will have to be at least 600HP!! never enough. I have given your name and will continue to give your name to everyone who asks about my motor. keep up the good work. J.P. Hunter

 

ps: you had asked to send you some pictures of the finished hot rod they are attached. Please feel free to use me a reference anytime.

Hey Matt and Bruce my car is done and its awesome thanks to the Engine Factory!! 

 

My car looks great but sounds awesome. Everyone comments on the smooth but strong sounding engine. It also is a great looking addition to my 69 Camaro. When I step on the pedal you better have hold of the wheel. Great horsepower! Hope you enjoy the pictures. Also the tech help on the install was second to none. One more thing that really helped my was the layaway plan. Tell Bruce he did a great job and if you guys are ever in Bristol for the race I am only 10 minutes away.

Thanks!!

Hi Matthew,

I received my 383-475hp stroker engine recently and made 100 miles on it. I have received everything as promised and even more.  I want to thank you for your patience for all the questions I had before I took my decision. You were very professional and I felt very secure to do business with you.

Thank you for considering your customers with so much respect.

The motor is now in my 1975 Camaro and it is very exciting to have such a strong motor in it. The sound is fantastic, there was no problem to start the motor, in fact everything was simply perfect.  As you explain to me, the motor is very strong, even at very low RPM.  All my friends are surprised of all I got for the price I have paid.

I am very happy and satisfied and wish you thank all the Engine Factory Team for that.

Hi Matt and Bruce,

It may be too early yet but I just want to let you guys know that the new engine is really running nice. I have about 500 miles on it now and everything is great. It's idling better and man is it smooth. The oil pressure is at 30 lbs hot idle and it shoots right up to around 60 lbs as soon as the RPM goes up. That is down a little but I know that is normal as the engine loosens up. The power is awesome!

Guys, I have learned so much during this project. I want you to know how much I appreciate you sticking with me through everything. I'll never forget it. I wish I could drive to your shop and visit. I'll keep you posted over the next few weeks as more miles go by.

Also, Matt your concern for me over the shootings at the school was greatly appreciated too.

Thanks so much!!!

502 Installation

Matt, attached are a couple of pics of the installation showing the engine installed and the new high rise hood.  I have only put about 70 miles on it so far.  It feels and sounds good.  I believe the carb needs adjusting.  I will do that after I install the 195F thermostat.  It was a long time coming together, but I am very pleased with the outcome.  The new pan is a perfect depth for the Vette. Thanks for your help.

New engine installed
I finally got the new engine installed and fired up. It sounds awesome. Everything looks good. No leaks or abnormal sounds. I ran it for about 30 min in the garage, after it warmed up I let in run at various rpms from idle to 3k. If the weather cooperates I'll have more pics and a video soon. Thanks guys.

Hi guys, thought I'd touch base with you guys and let you know how my Chevy 383/460 is running. G R E A T..... NO LEAKS, NO PROBLEMS, NO ONE

HAS BEATEN ME!!! Not bad hah? Motor has lots of power, especially from about 2000 to 5000 rpm in second gear- hang on. Anyhow, keep up the good work and stay in touch. STU and 350 GTO Ferrari   March 2007

 


 

I received and installed the new motor. Everything went pretty easy. Since it was my first time doing this,  I made several trips to the local auto parts store matching up nuts, bolts, vacuum lines. 3 days of work and last night I fired it up. It sounds awesome!! My wife made me turn it off since it was 10:30pm in the neighborhood. I have a few more small things to do to get it looking right then I will get her out on the road!  

 

Thanks

Hey Matt

 

This is Dan over at Vortex Racing. I finally got my car running with that 383 stroker motor you sold me. This thing is a beast. With my AFR heads and TPIS mini ram on there. This car is putting out over 500 hp. I also put a 150 shot NOS system on and look out. My mechanic said that this short block you guys built me is bullet proof and could handle even more. I can’t wait to run it down the ¼ mile.

 

Thanks

Hey Matt, Jeff East here. I am finally getting around to sending you and everyone at the Engine Factory a Big Thank You for building me a outstanding 350, 465 HP, for my 1947 Ford. Yes a great Chevy engine in a Old Ford.

Hey, I love my Chevy engines but I love my Ford Car Too. At the 2006 Grand National Roadster show in Pomona CA. Rod and Custom's Editor Kevin Lee gave the car his top pick and asked if I wanted to have my car shot for the Mag. I said yes and the car is now gracing the Cover of the March issue. He also gave me the center layout and a great write up. The performance from the engine you guys built is unbelievable!! I would recommend The Engine Factory to anyone that wants a quality built Turnkey engine. Not only is the engine top notch but the customer service, Matt Walsh, is priceless
