After extensive research, I decided to order my Jeeps replacement engine through Golen Engine. Chad was very professional and answered all my questions regarding their stroked 4.6 engine. They posted photos so I could watch the build from afar and made sure to ship the engine in time to arrive before the new year. The motor looks great and runs very strong. The quality of the build, parts used and the items supplied for the swap were perfect. I highly recommend Golen.
Dropped off my block for machine work. So far they were excellent. Very helpful and informative. Glad I picked them to do the work so far. Will post again as I progress through engine rebuild.
I purchased an RHS 454 road race motor with Dailey dry sump from Golen almost 2 years ago. It is absolutely the best engine I have ever owned. I beat the thing hard on the track and it takes it in stride. I ordered my motor in Dec. and it was sitting in my shop 2 months later! Chad has really gone the extra mile with tech. help for us as well. I will never buy an engine from anyplace but Golen again!
I hear they do great engine work. Double check to make sure they properly secured the engine to thre pallet before leaving their shop with it.
My experience with chad has been great! Love the engine! Has a great usable power range 😊 He is super helpful and willing to help! Overall a great experience would definitely buy another engine and refer to a friend
Just dropped off a motor for some work and dyno. Never met Chad before, which is the owner. Very comfortable dealing with him look forward to the end result. Basically only shop around that specializes in efi builds.
Chad is so professional and absolutely so great to talk to you and listen to you.That goes a long way when you are doing business with a car project..He took great care of our JEEP JAMBOREE CLASSICREALLY APPRECIATE ITTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHINGwhat a great business and company
Job well done. 2008 Z06 with a complete LS7 engine build and everything went flawless. Produced 712 NA HP! They break the engine in on the dyne so when it gets in the car you can let it rip right off the bat. Chad was great from the beginning always kept me up to date. Will be using Golen from now on and referring everyone I know their way. Hard to find legit shops like this these days it seems.
Always a pleasure to work with Chad
Bought a 4.6 stroker from Golen Chad was very knowledgeable It started with first turn of the key. Very happy with engine
Planning my custom Jeep 4.6 Stroker build with Chad at Golen Engine was a great experience. Not only was the pricing fair, but Chad took the time to carefully walk through the specifics of my build step by step and offered great advice on parts selection for installation in my particular application. Overall A+ experience!
Chad,After two months of pining over the loss of my ‘01 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s tired factory 4.0 IL6, it has been brought back to life!Still ironing out a few quirks of an aging, 18 year old with 200k+ miles of experience, vehicle, but the new 4.6 stroker you built has created an invigorating driving experience.The power behind the launch seems effortless and the acceleration, brisk and SMOOTH. The balance and precision of construction is very evident in the almost subdued growl as the rpms climb. I have very much enjoyed the responsiveness of the throttle and already has me yearning for 62mm throttle-body upgrade.The care and quality in every step of the transaction process from concept (me finding your site), to purchase, to construction, to break-in and testing, to shipping have felt world-class and personable.The team at the installers shop were quite impressed by quality of construction and subsequent “test-driving”.It was remarked to me that it was a joy to install and drive and were gracious in my choosing of their shop to install.I must admit, however, it was a tough sell to my wife going forward in purchasing from you. Hopefully she sees the joy it brings me and thus ease her financial jitters.I’ve done the first oil change at 500 miles and am now upgrading the brakes on my ‘01 Jeep WJ to help balance the extra power!It may sound silly and a tad superficial but I, once again, feel whole having my Jeep back, better than ever.Jason HalvarsonFargo, ND2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4
I had one of the Golen 4.6 Stroker engines installed in my 89 Jeep Wrangler.......IT IS AWESOME !! My old 4.0 was tired and had more oil leaks than a good hazmat team could contain.I decided after researching engines to go with Golen.And Im glad I did ....gained more than double horsepower,freakish torque.AND with the header and Flowmaster muffler, it sounds phenomenal. If you are thinking about a new engine go Golen YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Couldn’t be happier with my choice to put a Golen striker in my 2006 LJ. Entire process was easy and Chad Golen personally takes calls to explain everything. This is how a business should be - outstanding customer experience every step of the way.
Have had several heads rebuilt by Chad and the team and couldn’t be happier. From stock cast and aluminum lt1 heads to aluminum edelbrock sbf heads they always deliver high quality results 👍🏼
He built a 383 for me in 2006.. I love it.. he offered to tune it after the install. His dyno was booked..
I purchased my stroker engine from Golen after conducting a few months of extensive research and chatting with Jeep lovers who completed the engine upgrade. I spoke with Chad on the phone a couple of times before my purchase; I was impressed with his customer service and hands-on involvement in ensuring I understood everything before, during, and after my purchase.I ordered the $4100.00 4.6L stroker and received a $200.00 military discount. I personally took the 10-hour drive to New Hampshire to pick-up the engine; wanted to see what I was getting for my money and to see if Golen was as advertised on the phone. Well, I can tell you that I was more than satisfied with Golen and the entire process; Chad really has a family-style business that is focused on providing the best possible customer service and support. The customer service didn’t stop there. When I got the engine back to Virginia and installed, Golen was my first call. Chad walked me through my checks and the engine fired the first time! My Jeep has been back on the road for two months and it runs better than it has in 10 years. I can say, without a doubt, that I made the right choice when I chose Chad and his team to build me a stroker motor for my Jeep.If you’re thinking about replacing your engine, do your homework. I guarantee you’ll end up with Golen if you want a stroker engine that will run smooth, make power, and reliable; as a bonus, you get a serious support team that will answer your calls and e-mails quickly.
I got a built motor from them I have had it in my jeep for several years now runs like a champ. When I first got it ask a few question they got back to me all the time . They are top shelf .
If you want to keep the factory style inline 6 in your Jeep, you need a Golen 4.6 stroker. Ordering was simple. At my request, they upgraded the rockers to rollers, broke the cam in on their dyno, and sent the whole thing over. The engine arrived well packaged, and installed just like any other Jeep block. It started right up and ran even better than expected, cant ask for any more than that.
Great customer service very professional and very helpful.
They build all of our shops engines. Chad will go the extra mile to make things right.never had an issue with a rebuild. Place is clean like a operating room. Dyno in house.
Professional service
It is a very good and recognized company, I believe that I will be dealing with them soon
