BUILT ON A
FAMILY PASSION.

This story really starts back in the 1960s. My grandfather hauled brand new Ford cars and trucks from the rail yard in Green Tree, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, and delivered them to the small coal mining towns around here. As kids, my dad and uncles would run out to look over the new models on his trailer. They developed a love for Ford trucks and cars, and that love was passed down to me.

Fast forward to 2017, when I bought a 1979 Ford Bronco Freewheeling Edition. I got it home and started fixing it up. The factory engines of the 1970s and 80s had very little power and terrible gas mileage. At the time, I also had a 2011 Mustang GT with Ford's new Coyote engine, and it was so impressive in both horsepower and fuel economy that it got me thinking: this would make a great engine for the Bronco.

I worked at it for a while, trying to get it up and running. It took a lot of homemade parts to make a new engine work in a 1979 chassis. Ed Decker helped me iron out all the big stuff, and before long we were driving down the road in a classic truck with a modern powertrain under the hood. We then drove it 500 miles to Townsend, Tennessee, for the Bronco Super Celebration to show people what we had done.

The rest is history. We've now completed engine swaps using the 5.0 Coyote and the 7.3 Godzilla, paired with 6-speed automatics, 10-speed automatics, ZF5 5-speed manuals, and the Tremec TKO 3050 5-speed manual. Pretty much any combination of modern Ford engines and transmissions can be made to work.

We took a passion for something we love and turned it into a business that gives people the chance to own the old Ford truck of their dreams. If you're considering a modern engine for a classic Ford truck, give us a call and let us help you make it happen.
