Van Dyne Engineering

[Ron Hill]

Ain't little that Stewart can't do when it comes to engines. He builds water pumps for NASCAR and the IRL. His half brother, Craig Ferguson, has won at least two World Championships in Offshore (OPEN TUNNEL CLASS) using Stewart's engines.

Craig Ferguson is the one who cut 6 inches off the nose of his Fountian to be legal for ski racing, then won the Catalina Ski Race...

Dyno is up to the state of the art. He builds Silver Crown Enignes. He can hone OUTBOARD BLOCKS TOO!!!!

AND....He can tell some funny stories...he's getting old....He worked for "GOD" (Roger Penske) for a time.. He also built engines for Drake Engineering (OFFY) Indy engine...

If you have a CUSTOM ENGINE PROJECT CALL STEWART......You can mention my name...but don't tell him you want my PRICES or he'll hang up!

It's Van Dyno, not Van Dyne. Stewart is really a great guy. Extremely talented. He was our chief wrench and dyno man when I was at Drake (Offy).

Bunker and I spent a couple weeks once with him in Indy. We learned a lot. Stewart has a remarkable vocabulary. I frequently use his his expressions. Here are a few:

A low horse power engine is a "Weak Suck" or a "Weak Kneed Pimp". If some one isn't doing the job fast enough, we "Need to get a Wheel Under him." A not so good car is a "sh1t Box." These are the only one I can think of now-the ones I use. Ron can help with a dozen or more good ones.

Stewart is talented and truly loves his job.
