Contender or Pretender!
Being in
the engine business for 40 years we’ve seen our share of changes. The internet
is one of them; the internet is a great tool for finding just about anything. It
has helped our business grow considerably. In fact, we have shipped engines to
every time zone in the world. The
benefits of course are you can shop at your leisure, compare pricing and
products with a click of a mouse. The downside of it is any person or company
can come across as being the biggest and most reputable company in the world.
Case in point; we had a customer
recently purchase our 400 HP / 351W
engine. Got it installed and absolutely loves the motor but this is just
where the story begins! Prior to
coming to the Engine Factory he had bought a “comparable” engine on Ebay that
was selling for ½ the price. Supposedly it had the same or better components,
more Horsepower, free upgrades, Live run tested, Free shipping and list goes on.
Turns out the company advertising on Ebay was selling a junk yard
engine, spray painting it, bolting on a new manifold and never running the
engine in. The seller actually used some of our engine photos to advertise on
top of it. Needless to say the customer installed the engine and after 20 miles
the engine seized up. Never got his money back and the company is nowhere to be
found. Unfortunately this is not an
isolated case. There are plenty of con-men out there like this.
Caveat
Emptor!!
We have
found in most cases that an engine priced hundreds to thousands less than what
we offer aren’t what they claim to be:
Wrong engine for the application, cheaper Asian components substituted,
not hot run tested, not Turnkey Ready, no customization, no customer service, no
knowledge of engines and so on and so on.
The
reference chart shown gives a snapshot of a Typical Ford crate engine compared
to what Engine Factory offers.
We live in a fast paced
visual world so we tend
to skimp on details. Here’s the Price and Here’s the Photo. Investigate
further the “upgrades” amount to hundred to thousands more in cost. Most
companies treat engines as a sideline business; Engines are our business,
All the time!
Items
like the Braided steel Fuel lines, Fuel pumps, pulleys, accessories, thermostat
housing, ignition, Carburetors, testing running, complete Fuel injection systems that
are fitted on most of our engine packages is what separates Engine Factory . This
makes for a much easier and smoother installation. Know the
difference because knowledge is powerful!
Engine Factory offers a Great Turnkey engine at a very fair price. Factor in the name brand parts, technician experience, Live run testing and the family pride we take in this business makes for a winning combination. Cobra and Muscle car enthusiasts and Clubs have given us their business based upon these merits. We look forward to having you aboard. Feel Free to gaze through our ever growing Engine Photo Gallery.
Good luck in 2009!
