Welcome to Runne-Rite Research

At RRR, we manufacture Ford engine parts that have been discontinued or have become difficult to find.  

Accurate Ordering

50+ Years Industry Experience

I prefer one-on-one conversations by telephone to insure parts are properly ordered and shipped. I will make sure you receive the parts that work perfectly for your unique application. 

Dedicated Support

The phone number in this site is a cell phone that also receives texts and photos. I am available when you are available. But if for some reason I do not answer right away, please leave a message, email, or text me. I will typically return your call the same day.  ​​

I have been in the automotive performance industry since 1959. I was a street racer-turned-engine-builder turned car-builder, turned pro-stock drag racer. I built a successful engine shop with a American Motors factory racing contract between 1970-1980. My shop won five out of seven major meets in 1977, competing against all the big guys of the time. We were the original street racers of Woodward Avenue. Read more here. ​

Custom Solutions

I can acquire or make any water pump or pulley set.  I can also manufacturer special spacers and shims to adjust for any pulley alignment. I specialize in shorty pumps and pulleys for 289-351W Ford engines in custom classic cars.  Also Street Rods.  ​
