Engine Conversions Engineered to fit right the first time, we also pay attention to the details.
Owning a Rolls or Bentley generally means you want to stand out in a crowd, that's great.  our job is to make sure you can get there and back reliably, every time with out spending your kid's inheritance.  our work is hidden under the bonnet, so when you pull up to Sardi's, park on Rodeo Drive, or just go to the home town bistro no one will know what kind of power got you there and home, we even try and make your vehicle sound the same.

Why have us do the conversion.

bullet

We have several years of R&D engineering, tooling & castings to do the job right.

bullet

Our Conversions are designed to fit correctly, not cut & weld to fit.

bullet

We have designed our GM V8 conversions to be a direct bolt in replacement.

bullet

We DO NOT cut into the frame or sub-frame at all with our 350" or 383" V8 conversions.

bullet

We DO NOT weld mounts or brackets to your frame reducing the re-sale value.

bullet

We DO NOT drill holes in your air tight frame or sub-frame reducing the re-sale value.

bullet

Your frame is an air tight sealed assembly to keep moisture out to prevent rusting from the inside out since the inside is not painted.

bullet

We mount the GM Engine to the same mounts that the Rolls Engine was mounted to with the stock Rolls mounts.

bullet

By using Rolls 3 point mounting system we minimize engine noise & vibration retaining Rolls technology.

bullet

If you ever wish to re-install the Rolls Engine it will just go right back in where it came out and no one will ever know it had left.

bullet

We have a special oil pump so we can clear the rear sub-frame, (Shadow & >).

bullet

We have a center sump oil pan to clear the sub-frame & steering, (Shadow & >).

bullet

We make an adapter to go between the GM Engine and the Rolls TH-400 Transmission the way Rolls installed the Engine originally.

bullet

This also retains the original Rolls/Bentley automatic performance & shift quality.

bullet

Cloud gets a New late model Rolls TH400 case with correct components for your application.

bullet

This retains the Rolls rear Engine mount & torque control system.

bullet

We make an elaborate front Engine mount to go to the Rolls front Engine mounting pad.

bullet

We have the required Brake modification, (more on that later).

bullet

We have a Cloud & P-5 Brake conversion that really works great.

bullet

Our Cloud Brake conversion is done without modifying the drum-brakes.

bullet

We have developed an Electro-Hydraulic pump system for the rear suspension to retain the ride control system you now enjoy.  We have systems for both DOT-3,(Yellow) & Mineral Oil, Green) systems on Shadow & > vehicles.

bullet

We do the (Shadow & newer) conversions with out removing the hood or changing the inside of the vehicle.

If you are looking to have some one close to home do your conversion here are some questions you should ask before turning your expensive Rolls or Bentley over to them.

bullet

Will the conversion be a well engineered instillation or a make do conversion?

bullet

Only professionally engineered conversions will play a BIG part in the value of your vehicle.

bullet

Will they cut into your sub-frame to clear the oil pump & pan? (Shadow & >)

bullet

Will they weld mounts to your frame or sub-frame?

bullet

Un-sealed frame or sub-frame will allow water to enter & rust from the inside out.

bullet

Will they swap your Rolls Transmission for a Chevrolet unit & keep your Rolls Transmission?

bullet

Will they install a rear Transmission mount to the unibody of your car so the noise & vibration can come into the vehicle?

bullet

Will they swap your Rolls radiator for a replacement unit & keep your expensive Rolls radiator?

bullet

Will they cobble in a Car or Truck brake system and try to make it work?

If the answer to those questions is YES then it would be worth it to let us ship your Rolls Royce or Bentley to Ohio for a professional conversion.
When the conversion is complete you can fly in to Cleveland air port and drive your all-most New vehicle back home with the confidence that the job was done correctly.
We do conversions from all over the USA and from as far away as Australia so I am sure we can do your conversion no matter where in the world you live.
We have been doing conversions of all kinds of since 1954.
For years now we specialize in Rolls & Bentley conversions!
