When you’re chasing serious horsepower, the details matter.

We’ve been busy machining an RB26 head, clearancing the back of the cylinders to suit a set of high-lift Kelford camshafts for a local high-horsepower GT-R Skyline build. This is the kind of precision work that separates a tidy build from a truly elite one.

It’s all part of building an engine package that can handle serious boost and serious intent.

More to come on this monster project.

Stay tuned.

This Ford 289 Small Block came out of a Mustang with a story to tell - and we're about to give it a whole new chapter.

Final hone is done and those bores are absolutely immaculate. This is the part of the process that most people never see, but it's where everything matters.

Get this wrong and nothing else goes right.
Get it perfect? Well… that's where the magic starts 👊

A good clean-down, a couple of exciting upgrades, and this legendary little motor will be ready to remind everyone exactly why people fell in love with the Mustang in the first place 🔥

Vintage engines deserve proper care.

We specialise in keeping classic and vintage car engines running as they should. Whether it’s a full engine rebuild, hard-to-find parts, or precision restoration machining, we treat every vintage motor with the respect it’s earned over decades on the road.

Whether you’re bringing a classic back from the dead, keeping a Sunday cruiser on the road, or rebuilding an engine that’s been in the family, we treat it like it’s our own.

If you’re a vintage car owner and want your engine work done by people who actually understand old-school machinery, you know where to find us.
