THere are many good engine builders, today and yesterday. I think the original purpose of this post was to Thank Parsons and Meyers for this good deed....

Thanks Randy for the Kind words! Dick, i am sure thats what Gregs intent was, but the Title is Great engine Builders, now i dont and havent ever considered myself great, however, in the past 40 years i have built one or two engines! All of these listed, are seriously good engine builders!

Yep, lots of good engine builders today. What this post shows me is that we have a lot of racers dedicated to their particular engine builder. I think that is a good thing. For me it is Steve Wann for more reasons than I can list.

Does anyone have more stock & super stock engines at the track than Tilburg? Hettler is back doing cyl heads in Pa again.

Gary McGlasson out of New Mexico

I can't let this opportunity pass without thanking and complimenting George Widuch for building me one of the quickest small block MoPar Stockers out there. He and Jerry Bennett make a great team. Oh and this "white" engine has been checked twice since I have owned it and has set four National Records and won two events. Also no great engine builders list would be complete without Brad VanLant! A great builder and nice guy to boot. Thank you Brad for your help.
Bub, is excellent and Woody, well he is not only a good friend but a legendary engine builder. Jim

I agree, built the engine for the first "stocker" in the 9's. Gary's Camaro can set the G-H record anytime he wants. Also, Gary is a great guy.

Maybe Ford Racing Performance Group with the Cobra Jets ;
But in all seriousness, all that are mentioned in this thred are great engine builders IMHO.
And kudos to P&M for giving Greg the treatment that they did, that is a huge part of the reason they are some of the best in the industry.

You cant argue with Greg, his cars fly and pass tech.....I am very happy with Tony Bischoff on my car
