Paul has built all my engines for over a decade and the only one I trust! If you want someone who communicates and has accurate timelines unlike most engine builders, PFRE is the only choice!

Built me a brand new 582 from scratch. First weekend out won the race, second weekend out runner-up. Clean facility, top-of-the-line equipment and the knowledge to go with it. Would recommend him to everyone.

I needed a set of heads resurfaced. So I contacted Paul and he was able to get them done within the same week of contacting him — that was a nice change from past shops taking weeks from date of contact. He did a great job! Highly recommend. Thanks for the great service! Very clean, well setup engine shop.

I've had Paul do several things for me, excellent results. I've dealt with a lot of shops in my time and Paul's shop is by far the cleanest I've been in. As an engine builder, Paul knows what he's doing and is also willing to hear what his customers are wanting done. It's my opinion that if you want an engine built you want it built right — that's what you are going to get. Highly recommended for all your automotive machining needs.

I've worked with a few engine builders over the years, and I'm the type of person who doesn't like switching once I find someone I trust. I decided to give Paul a shot after a local racer highly recommended him, and I'm glad I did. From the beginning, Paul was honest, upfront, and completely transparent about my build. What impressed me most was his straightforward, no-nonsense approach. He gave me a realistic timeline and stuck to it. We ended up about a week past the original estimate, but that was only because we discovered a few unexpected parts that needed to be ordered. He kept me informed the entire time, which I really appreciated. My only regret is not bringing my other blocks to him. Top-notch guy, top-notch shop, and top-notch workmanship. Paul has definitely earned my business and is now my go-to engine builder in Florida. Highly recommended!
