So much to say so little space to say it! I'll preface this by saying that we as people experience things as we trudge through life that are both good and bad. Once in a while, you experience extraordinarily difficult trials that are beyond the norm and once in a while you hit the jackpot! I heard about Ed through a Ford tuner who I also revere highly and I have to tell you, it was hands down the best automotive engine related decision I've ever made. Ed built me a 351 windsor for my 1988 mustang back in 2013 that makes around 670 horsepower on pump gas. Ed hit all my targets including driveability, parts quality, price, reliability and most importantly precision quality assembly. I routinely start my car in all climates from cold winter at 32 degrees to hot summer at 90 degrees without any hesitation or drop in oil pressure or anything. I warm my car up for 10 or 15 minutes and hit the rev limiter @ 6,500 rpms virtually every single time I stab the accelerator and can indeed count on my car to repeat that behavior with 110% certainty that it will do it flawlessly every time. I have many friends who have comparable engines by a variety of manufacturers; everything from 5.0's to LS's to toyotas and in between that have spent 15,000 dollars plus only to have their engine fail from a variety of problems. Everything from bearings that were improperly clearanced to installion of sub quality parts to just plain old bad tuning and every time, the assembler blames the user and winds up costing the user another large sum of money to have it reassembled by the same person that the failure occurred with in the first place and with Ed, you just don't get that. He knows parts combos that work and work well, he checks his clearances over and over and over again to ensure that when and engine leaves his shop, it leaves for good and doesn't return! I can't say enough about Ed as an engine assembler and just a good man in general. I'll be a customer of Ed's forever and I recommend you should be too!
