Recommendation not to miss
OK fellow gearheads this is a recommendation not to miss Keith Crafts Engine Facilities. If you are traveling Hwy 30 in Arkansas, try to make time to exit Hwy 53 North 8 miles and stop in and see Keith and his team assembling some real cool engines. You name it - they can build it. They stock a wide verity of Ford blocks but I was most interested in the FE's. 427 and 428 abound in any HP range you want. Strokers, fuel injection, dry sump, Dart blocks; with speed parts everywhere you look inside his shop. Which ,by the way, was as neat as a pin and very well laid out. I rounded a corner and there is pallet load of Brodix cylinder heads sitting in front of a computer controlled CNC machine and on my left is another load of Edlebrock heads just waiting to be ported and assembled. I walked into his parts room and this will stop any old gearhead in his tracks. There I was looking at eye level at a Hilborn velocity stacked fuel injection for a FE. Ok Santa - maybe next year. Then on to his machining room filled with ever kind of machine needed to make the engines Keith and his staff are known for. Last, we where standing in his Dyno room with a beautiful 427 set up and ready to be tested before being shipped out. Ok, sounds like I was impressed with the facilities right, but not as much as I was with his staff who took the time to answer our questions and give us the tour. My brother and I enjoyed it.
Keith, if you should read this thank you for your support of Club Cobra and your generous donation of a motor a few years ago to the Cystic Fibrosis Cobra.
