Michael Collins builds every engine that comes through CrankForge — no subcontractors, no mystery shops. You know exactly who's working on your engine before you sign anything.
Combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient — two tours in Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division's 2-87 Infantry. Now Michael brings that same precision and discipline to every engine that leaves his shop. He specializes in the classic Chrysler A, B, and RB engine families (318, 360, 440), Cummins diesel rebuilds, and Gen III Hemi swaps (5.7 and 6.1) into classic Mopar bodies. The Gen III Hemi builds are his favorite: modern fuel injection, 350–425hp stock with room to grow, and bolt-in swap kits for most B-body, A-body, and E-body platforms. Best of both worlds — new-school power, old-school muscle. Every build is documented start to finish so you see exactly what went in and why.
"I document every build the same way I documented a mission — nothing left out, nothing assumed. You'll know exactly what went into your engine and why."
Budgeting worksheets, what to ask your builder, and a phase-by-phase timeline checklist. Everything you need to plan a build without getting burned.
