Does anyone know a good ford mechanic that does performance engine work in south east melbourne? Im located in Edithvale and was just wondering if someone has had good work done nearby. I recently bought a restored xc fairmont with a rebuilt 351 cleveland thats got a carby leak and was looking to get roller rockers installed among other things. Any info would be appreciated thanks.

Mick at Pit Lane Automotive in Frankston is always a pleasure to deal with.
He has a boss V8 ute, along with a BB old school Fairlane so he know his performance stuff no matter what the vintage. My family and friends have all had good experiences when dealing with him. http://www.pitlaneautomotive.com/

CVE is not bad mate, but if you want to do it properly dont just let the location choose the builder...

Hello,
I'm desperate for a good Ford Specialist Mechanic down in South East Melbourne. I have a ford El Sedan 96 running on Dual Fuel & have a problem with my Tachometer fluctuating and loss of pick up coupled with rough vibration & intermitent misfiring. Just for anyone info, I have changed the coil,distributor,Cylinder head,Transmission,spark plugs & leads. I have shown 5 different mechanics & an Auto Technician who cannot seem to diagnose the fault. Please can someone help Thanks, Last edited by Johnboyaust; 11-04-2013 at 08:39 PM. |
