If you got the money to spend; you can't go wrong with the Engine Factory. Their Sales Staff were very helpful with my purchase. He went over every little detail about my car with me, what my plans were with it, and really listened to me to what exactly I wanted. From the time I made the order on the phone it took about a month for it to show up. They called a week before it was suppose to arrive to let me know exactly what day, and approx. time it would deliver. The engine shows up on a 18-wheeler with a drop gate platform that lowers it down to the ground, then the driver will wheel the engine into your garage on a pallet jack.
The motor is everything I wanted it to be, and then some. I purchased the 418w small block with 515hp (carburetor), and put it in a 1991 Mustang GT. Let me tell ya; I could not believe how much more power this thing had over a 302 motor. The detail they put into their engines are absolutely beautiful. They look even better in person than they do on the web site. I was going to rebuild my 302 and put a supercharger on it, but after I added up everything that I wanted to do to it the price was going to be as much as a new motor, plus the time and aggravation of trying to build a engine, and not having all the right resources.
The process was so easy; the engine showed up, watched the video that came with (which as a lot of good info.), bolted my clutch, transmission, and headers up then dropped the whole thing down into the engine bay. Didn't have to do anything, except I had to adjust the mixing screws and idle just a bit not a big deal. My car is not a daily driver just a weekend cruiser, and I go drag racing with it every now and then. Got it to run 11.83 at 121mph. I put a rev limiter on it now, because the engine revs up so fast just with a pat at the gas. Really don't know what else to tell ya. I am very pleased with my engine and have no regrets about it, other than I wish I had went bigger...lol. Everytime I take it out cruising I get all kinds of compliments on the car especially when I open the hood. People are so amazed how good it looks and the fact that it isn't your typical fox body 5.0 Mustang. The engine factory will do you right, get you exactly what you want, and give you suggestions on your project.
Thanks,
