I spent a LOT of time on the phone and many many e-mails with George and Neil at Gessford when I was rebuilding my own engine. I got my parts parts (and invaluable advice) from them.

I rebuilt my motor because I wanted to change the 'specs'. Milder cam, lower compression, street friendly, that sort of thing. The motor had been previously built by a well known FE builder in Texas, and it WAS fast! I was quite surprised to find a number of 'little things' that were done wrong in that first build, many other things were done 'right on the money', a mixed bag in the final review.

It's amazing how many little tricks and things to watch our for when your working on a FE, there not like any other motor. I was so impressed that George so graciously shared his knowledge. My motor runs strong, THANKS to George AND Neil.

"Gessford Machine", not looking to do a 'VOLUME BUSINESS', he's building one quality motor at a time and leaving no stone unturned in the search for absolute perfection. It costs more to do it that way and it's WORTH it! You don't get voted "Machine Shop" of the YEAR without doing it right, every time.
