Engine Shop

Our work on cool engines, both classic and high performance.

We did one final run-stand test before our customer picked up his Drake motor.  What made this run so special was the custom run-stand that was built by Highway Choppers specifically for this motor.  The customer plans to display it in his Harley Davidson dealership showroom in Pennsylvania.  This was a fun project for us and we are pleased that the customer was happy with it.

We have been working on Gov’s Drake Engine for about a year now.  It is finally complete.  You can see the initial run-stand video below.  As an added bonus we were fortunate enough to be able to interview Buzz Rose.  He is a former Drake engine-powered race car driver from the 50’s.  Enjoy!
