Engine Swaps — LS / Godzilla / Coyote

Tarpon Springs, FL  ·  Tampa Bay Area

Dropping a modern drivetrain into a classic body is the fastest way to make a car that looks like 1967 and drives like today. We handle the entire swap: motor mounts, crossmember, firewall modifications, transmission tunnel, and exhaust — all fabricated in-house.

We work with LS-family V8s, the Ford Godzilla 7.3L, Coyote 5.0, and other popular swap platforms. Every swap gets custom engine mounts and a modified firewall to clear the new engine, along with a radiator support panel built to fit the cooling package your combination needs.

We are a fabrication shop first: when a swap needs a one-off bracket or panel, we make it here — no bolt-on kit that 'almost fits.'

But being able to build anything doesn't mean building everything. If a proven, properly engineered part already exists and costs less than fabricating one from scratch, we use it — and helping you find the best value forward is something we take pride in. We build what needs building and buy what's smarter to buy, so your combination is right and you never pay for work the job didn't need.
