Feedback on Turn Key Crate Motors from the “Engine Factory” in New Jersey.

Jimbo,

"1/4 mile 11.92@115.6 and 60ft 1.632 ".

With which tires?

Sorry for returning this thread to the OP's original topic.

My Engine Factory 408 runs great. Doesn't burn oil, doesn't leak, just fires up and goes. I did have issues with the Edelbrock carb. Finally replaced it with a Holley Double Pumper, and wish I had done that sooner.

All the OEM boxes for the new parts they used in the production were included in the crate.

I'm selling my SPF with an EF engine and just want to go on record in public forum that I have never had a problem with it, other than carb-related.

Thanks for the all feedback.

I decided on a 408 street crate motor from Keith Craft Performance Engines (525 hp). Put on deposit on it today. It’ll be ready in 4-6 weeks. Also ordered a TKO 600 and other goodies.

Also put a deposit of a Superformance MK III yesterday. It’s already at the dealer, waiting on the engine.

It all should come together around Aug 10.

You cannot go wrong with Keith.

Congrats.

Can't go wrong with Keith Craft. He built my 331 stroker that I have in my FIA. Dyno'd at 446 HP @ 6000 rpm. And it has the small AFR 165 heads. Chassis dyno tuned after installation - 326 HP @ the rear wheels. Got 5500 miles on it so far and runs and sounds great. What helped seal my decision were the positive comments from the Kirkham brothers - they put KC motors in a lot of customer cars - and were very very complimentary to KC about the motors build quality and performance. Who am I to argue with the Kirkhams? (those guys are amazing - not just for the cars they build - but for their overall contribution to the cobra community).

The flywheel and rear wheel hp numbers don't match. Another case of playing with the dyno knobs for invalid telephone number flywheel numbers.

These tires are sweet.
