Ed and
BRC Performance have teamed up to create a series of
custom pistons for Ed's customers. The pistons
have been designed to allow for a more complete burn
pattern thus increasing performance. These pistons
have been mentioned in an article in National Dragster
magazine and in an upcoming issue of Race Engine
Technology magazine. BRC Performance would like to
thank Ed and his customers for providing BRC with engine
details and photos of their cars.
Ed began his engine building career at
the ripe old age of 14 when he bought a used '51 Ford
with no motor. He got a motor from a junk yard and
set about rebuilding it himself. He jacked the car
up in the air really high and then set it on concrete
blocks. Thankfully, a neighbor stopped and offered
assistance before the car fell off of the blocks. Ed rebuilt the engine
using only a Chilton's guide. The motor ran on the
first crank but it had a slight knock. Ed soon
discovered that one of the rod bearings fell out when he
was knocking the pistons in. To this day, he always
checks and double checks to be sure that all the rod
bearings stay in place!
In 1994, after owning a custom stereo
and cellular store chain, Ed got back into rebuilding
engines by starting to take on customers into his
shop. "Most all of my engines end up with differences
to the normal cookie cutter stuff by other engine
builders. More than one has said that my engines
sound different. I do know that I can build high
compression street pump gas engines that run and
live. I know that my serious race motors run and
live. And my extreme Nitrous engines are doing a
pretty good job of both performance and living. I
do all in my power to do the best I am capable of in
everything I do."
