FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q:
What types of engines are available from B2 Motorsports?
A: We specialize in Ford engines: Windsors,
Clevelands, FE’s, and 385 series engines. However, we build Chevrolet (SBC,
BBC, LS) engines as well, along with Mopar applications.
Q: How does B2 Motorsports
help me select the right engine for my vehicle?
A: Engine selection is a very complicated
process. There are many, many variables and each one has to be addressed. We
really don’t provide “crate engines” as each engine is individually
customized. Our customers have our phone number on speed dial as we spend an
incredible amount of time with parts selection and to find out exactly what
the customer expects from their engine. Don’t expect to make just one phone
call to purchase as engine as there will be many conversations throughout
the entire assembly, dyno, and shipping processes.
Q: Which brands of parts are
used in my engine?
A: We use only high quality name brand parts.
A lot of the brands that we use in our race engines get carried over into
our budget engines as well. We don’t use “white box” parts from unknown
manufacturers and origins. For instance, our crankshafts and rods come from
reputable suppliers such as Scat, K1, Carrillo, Oliver, GRP, etc. Our
pistons come from Probe Industries, Diamond, JE, and Wiseco. We have many
relationships with high quality parts suppliers. Feel free to contact us
regarding exactly what parts we do carry and use.
Q:
Can you supply drivetrain parts as well?
A: Absolutely. We are a distributor for
Tremec, McLeod, Quicktime, RAM, Fidanza, as well as many other drivetrain
parts manufacturers. Along with working with you on engine part selection,
we can help you decide on everything you will need to put the power to the
ground. Our complete drivetrain packages even come with clutch forks and
slave cylinders; everything that you need to install your combination into
your vehicle.
Q: What’s the lead time on a
complete engine?
A: We can usually have an engine assembled,
dyno’d, and ready to ship out in about 4 weeks. This can vary from engine to
engine, as some of the engine families use parts that are a little harder to
find.
Q: Can I get a list of
references?
A: Absolutely. Call or email any time and we
can give you the contact information of some of our customers. You can also
log on to several online forums that we are active participants on: Club
Cobra (www.clubcobra.com),
the Ford FE forum (www.fordfe.com),
the 351 Cleveland forum (www.351cleveland.net),
and a few others. All you have to do is ask about us or search some of the
older forum posts for feedback about us.
