The Carroll Shelby Engine Company has expanded its line of services at its Southern California location to include performance tuning and rebuilding of Ford V8 engines.
“We’ve been making vehicles with Ford engines go faster since 1962,” said Carroll Shelby, president of the Carroll Shelby Engine Company. “That includes street cars and vehicles used in every kind of motorsport. For the first time, Shelby Engines will take all of that accumulated knowledge and put it to work for individual Ford owners who want to move to the front of the pack.”
Shelby Engines will accept a limited number of customer-owned small-block Windsor, 351C, and big-block FE engines for rebuild or dyno tuning. The company will perform a complete overhaul, as well as offer long- and short-block rebuilds. Carroll Shelby Engine Company will also rebuild Ford V8 OHV heads. Just like the new FE and 351W-based aluminum engines from the company, every engine overhauled or rebuilt will include an official “Rebuilt by Carroll Shelby Engine Company” tag that can be mounted in the engine bay.
“As lifelong hot rodders, our team is pleased to become a complete engine service company,” added Don McCain, Vice President of the Carroll Shelby Engine Company. “In addition to building engines, we’ll offer engine dyno sessions to tune Ford V8 motors. Every test will come with a certification sheet, which provides key stats like horsepower and torque, signed by Carroll Shelby.”
Customers can schedule an appointment to bring their engines only (not vehicles) to the Gardena, CA, location. An engine specialist will then help customers plan their build or tune. The dyno facility is also available for independent engine builders to rent for testing and evaluations of their engines.
