Ray provided the best advice and recommendations for me on rebuilding my 460 in the truck I'm restoring. Great job on boring my block, turning and polishing my crank, restoring my rods and turning my flywheel. He also found all the good parts i needed for the rebuild. He's a little out of the way but well worth the drive.

Ray rebuilt my 95 Ford 4.9 inline six.
Awesome Job!!!
Added a 268 Competition Cam, opened up space in the head, piston replacement. Really pleased. Truck runs better than when it was new. Highly Recommended if you have a motor to save.
Thank you Ray

The guys who work here are great. Good service. I didn't know much at all about what I needed done to my engine and these guys walked me through everything step by step. I would recommend anyone who needs automotive machine solutions to rays, these guys know their stuff.

Just picked up my Original 289 for my 65 Mustang today, and I couldn’t be happier! Rays knowledge and willingness to walk you through what different changes could do for your motor was great! I have no question that once it gets re-installed that it will be a great motor for years to come. His work, and his mechanics work has always been phenomenal. I took my motor to Ray’s because he had already completely rebuilt my grandmothers 351 Cleveland that now put out over 500hp, and it has run perfectly ever since. Can’t thank him and his crew enough for the work they did!
