Cricket Engines Performance

"I love this place and my dad will always try to make every person feel like home and meet ur standards"

"I am extremely please with my 347 stroker engine. I have had zero issues. I could not have found a better place to buy this engine for my 65 Mustang. Professionally built and arrived on time. Thanks I will definitely be buying another engine from Cricket Engine performance for my next project."

"We bought an engine from them a few years ago. Went this way to save time. The first one right away had a dead cylinder so called and they swapped it out right away. I was happy that they did that because I know things happen I was not to upset. Now the second engine seemed to be better but within 100 miles we had to replace the fuel pump due to it leaking everywhere. The starter failed within 500 miles. Couldn't get the carb tuned to the engine so swapped that out to. Made a huge difference. Kept having problems keeping it timed. Then jumped time. Pulled distributor and the teeth on the cam were completely worn off due to the wrong gear on the distributor. Now a new oil pump and cam and distributor was in order. Wanted to keep same cam specs but the cam didn't even match the cam sheet given to us. My advice build your own so you can put quality parts in and on the engine."

"I'm torn on this review. If I was going based on worker personality the rating would be better. I recently bought an engine from Cricket and it looks great and the price seemed right. I bought it after I heard it run for a few seconds on the stand, it ran great on the stand. I got the engine home and put it in my car and things weren't running 100% correct. First fire-up when I got it home blew out the cork gasket under the valve covers. A trip to the parts store to get new gaskets and I was on my way. The engine came under carbed, but I was told this so an 870 Holley was added. I then took it to another reputable shop to have it tuned again closer to home. While there they determined that the intake is horrible and wouldn't allow the throttle to completely open so it needed to be shaved down on the side, plus the casting is so poor on it in the inside, not only that but the distributor is unable to be bolted down tight to it due to loose fittings between the intake and distributor so it won't hold a time. The fuel pump will put 6psi in at startup but after the engine warms up fuel pressure drops considerably. Needless to say I'll have an extra $1000 in to the engine to get parts that are of better quality and more reliable and hopefully I'll be good to go after that."
