Ford Modular 4.6L & 5.4L 2V/3V Engine Building

Whether you drive a Mustang, F-150 Lightning, F-150, Navigator, Expedition, or just want a 4.6/5.4 engine build for a custom vehicle we can help you. Engine builds suited for naturally aspirated, turbo's, and superchargers are available. Call us to discuss your plans and bring us your vehicle (or just the engine) and we will take care of the rest. Turn-around time is dependent on current shop & machining work load. All assembly is done in-house, machining is performed off site. If your build requires custom tuning we can refer you to several reputable Ford tuners in Southeast Michigan.

1967 Ford Mustang Convertible 390 FE

A customer brought in his vintage Mustang complaining of loss of oil pressure & performance. We found two frozen lifters, one cracked piston, & all of the plastic timing gear teeth sucked into the oil pickup tube! The 390FE Ford engine now has a fresh bore, rebuilt heads, turned/polished crank, new pistons, fresh powder coated block/intake/heads, and more. Now this Mustang is ready for the Woodward Dream Cruise.
