My engine builder is Chris Dawkins. He has built a 351 that is in my 65 gt350r clone race car (how i met him since the seller had him do the work), the 427 (actually large bore short stroke 490) side oiler in my cobra and he is building a 331 race motor for my semi tube framed (has headed to be a gt-1 car in canada) 93 mustang race car. GREAT guy. Really knowledgable. Has worked on everything from mazdas to f1 cars but hi po fords (ESPECIALLY fe's) are his passion. Anything from a mild ("stock") street motor to an all out - take no prisoners kick ass race motor. The cool thing about him besides that he is local, is that he will sit down and build you a motor that is optimized for your application as opposed to a "crate" motor or what is being "mass " that will probably be okay (probably more than you need) but not optimized, for about the same money as an off the shelf motor. He also has a very strong belief in standing behind what he sells. Needless to say I highly reccomend him

NO ONE is more happy than me that my suspension is working right now!
