Jasper Engines & Transmissions has a remanufacturing program geared toward customers with a restoration project, or looking for something extra when they get their engine or transmission remanufactured.

In addition to its current product line, the JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains division specializes in remanufacturing engines and transmissions that are currently no longer offered, or have been turned away in the past because they did not fit into a production remanufacturing system.

“If you look at the popularity of television shows that highlight vehicle restoration, there’s a huge market of people out there restoring the older model vehicle they have setting in their garage,” says Alex Ernst, JASPER Authentic Group Leader. “One type of client that would benefit from our division, for instance, is the individual restoring a ‘69 Corvette that is wanting his or her serial numbers to match, and wants their engine to be hand-built by experienced professionals.”

“With JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains, we spend extra time remanufacturing an engine,” Ernst added. “We give the customer that hands-on, hand-built treatment that our target customer base is looking for.”

In addition, JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains provides some extras for the enthusiast. “Customers can opt to have their engine dynamometer tested in addition to the live-run test we perform on most applications,” said Ernst. “And we can provide the customer with documentation of the remanufacturing process. With a login name and password, they will be able to go to our web site and check the daily progress of their engine or transmission.”

The JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains also provides a binder and CD with pictures & specifications so the customer can archive for their own records or use it to authenticate their unit as they show their vehicle.”
