VINTAGE ENGINES

Active Engines has a long, successful history in the vintage/antique engine rebuilding field. Active has worked on all types of engine restoration projects since the inception of the company: cars and trucks, domestic and import, and all types of makes and models.

Vintage projects tend to be unique, since the vintage field serves enthusiasts with a wide range of interests. Some customers restore vehicles simply out of joy of ownership. Some like to exhibit their cars, and may, for example, participate in concours events. Others intend to race their vehicles in events hosted by organizations such as the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA).

Regardless, for the vintage enthusiast restorations are all about authenticity and detail. Of particular interest, Active Engines can provide:

• Engine repair and rebuilding, compliant with eligibility standards for various vintage events.
• Parts fabrication/duplication.
• Diagnostics and testing services such as chassis and engine dyno testing and flow bench work.

• When building your engine, Active applies rigorous quality standards, blueprinting throughout.
