Danbury Competition Engines
1967 Mercedes 250SL
We are just getting started on this relatively rare engine. Complete rebuild on this and we’ll keep you posted as progress is made. Sure looks as if Datsun took some design pointers from this engine when you look at the strong similarities between this and a 280Z valve train.

Big block dirt modified
Machine work begun on a new Dart block and Sonny Crankshaft.
Not all customers need us to provide completed engines to them. In this case, we complete the machine work on the new block, fit bearings, fit pistons, and send it to the customer for completion.

Pontiacs and 455’s………..
TA’s are becoming more popular. We have two projects in house now that involve building 455’s for two late 70’s Trans Ams. These types of projects include pulling the original P400’s, building new 455’s, Dyno testing and setting finished and tuned engines back in the chassis.
Don’t have the time, facility, or experience to do it yourself? We can help with all the steps- even arranging the car to be transported to us.

Another new project:
With the boating season ended, some customers are now looking to take care of their power plants over the winter. This one is a Ford FE out if a vintage Chris Craft. We look forward to starting this one. This customer is looking for a mild and reliable rebuild.
