    Default engine builder recommendation

    Guys,

    does anyone know a good engine builder in the area? I'm not opposed to a fresh build and doing a swap/upgrade, or to build the stocker from a '66 mustang into something with better performance and reliability

    Ben Fox of Fox Performance Engines.

    His website shows mainly motorcycle work but he does all kinds of engine building and if he isn't your guy he can send you in the right direction. If it were a motorcycle I could send you in the right direction, but as far as cars go I am clueless

    If I was going to build a Ford then I would be looking at someone that is good with them. Just my two cents.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Look and see what "Crate" engines are available from Summit, Ford etc. When I built my Nova a few years back it was actually more economical.

    I went that route for my cobra and not looking to spend 7-10K again. And wouldn't buy again from engine factory (issue at 3000 miles with a cracked block, that wasn't covered under warranty because it was more than 6 months.


    I'd like to find someone who knows "specializes" in fords

    Max is an engine builder. GM is his specialty but he has done quite a lot of Ford's as well. And he will treat you right and do a very good job.
