Paul Pfaff racing engines
 
Do they still build engines? i have a friend out in California that wanted to get his engine rebuilt in his boat and wanted to up the hp to around 500 hp so i told him to give paul pfaff a call..he said that the guy on the phone was helpful but he also said that they dont build engines anymore due to the fact that the mfr's of the parts wont give a good warranty anymore so he just hung it up.. or is it because its not a 50 thousand dollar racing?

They build tons of stuff, scratch, new, rebuild, whatever. Not sure who your buddy talked to but they have awesome service!!!

You can look at the Pfaff/Baca page on facebook, and they are constantly in new production of engines. https://www.facebook.com/PfaffandBaca

That's news to me. Have your friend call and ask for Joe Baca.

You might also have him talk to QMP Racing (Quarter Mile Performance), in Chatsworth, CA 9530 Owensmouth Ave, Chatsworth, CA 91311
(818) 576-0816

On their website you will see a link for the dyno run on a 515" Blown alcohol Chevy that they built for me for my Barron Sprint flat bottom, 1350 HP. On the front of their web page look for David Kahn's Blown Alcohol and you will see the dyno.
I am 100% happy with what they did for me. On time and on budget.

Dk, I think you're missing a 0 (zero), but we all got it :)

these engines look awesome! is there a dealer for Pfaff on the East coast?

spazboz 04-12-2014 02:35 PM

I can name a couple engine builders I was 10% happy with as well. LOL

Dkahnjob 04-13-2014 04:04 PM

Oops, sorry about that. I just fixed it.

Talk to Brad or Mike at QMP, I know that they ship their engines all over the world, I have seen engines going to Australia for their shop.

I have Pfaff 650's in my boat. When I bought it I did not have any info on the engines... They had all the info and have been great.

I'm interested to see who he talked to as well. We just never know when someone will be disgruntled...

thanx everyone,,i got a call back from my friend,,i guess gordon is going to give him a quoat..ill forward the other machine shop to him as well and thanx again..

RiverDave 04-16-2014 03:12 AM

That's a weird story about the phone call. I talk to Pfaff Engines on the regular and (obviously as answered in the thread they are still building engines) have found them to be exceptionally professional. They "often" fix problems from other builders as well. ;)
