Danbury Competition Engines
1967 250SL rebuild:![]()
Recently finished this fairly rare engine. As many of these are, this was as much a restoration as a rebuild. Services included align honing mains, bore, hone, resizing rods, fitting new wrist pin bushings, reconditioning the heads. The finished long block now goes back to the customer out in Cali.
We are interested in taking on these types of jobs as long as customers understand that once we start, we do things right. Many times that means fixing problems not known at first and not expected by the owner. We work to keep the customer well informed along the way. Success means we did the job properly and the customer appreciates what went into the project.

Godzilla intake imitations:
I just became aware that there is an almost pure copy of our Danbury Competition Engine original Godzilla intake. It seems that a popular aftermarket company used our design vs creating their own and gave it a new name. That’s flattering, but I would have expected more from this company.
For those of you interested in a 100% USA, hand made product that is built to your specs, give us a call. We build them to order with the same care as our engine packages.
The pic is an example of the DCE intake in a Bronco. They have been fitted in Lincoln’s, mustangs, f100s, broncos, and cobras.

Big Block Chevy marine
We just completed a 489 cuin big block for a customer. We transformed a 365 hp rated 454 to a 540 hp 489. Trickflow aluminum heads, hyd roller cam, forged pistons and crank, steel h beam rods. This was put together to make peer down low. It also has to idle nicely at 700 rpm. The project included Dyno break in and tune. This combination made over 530 hp under 5000 rpm and over 600 ftlbs torque across most of the range.

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.
