Monterey Speed & Sport only reproduces rare and unusual flathead speed equipment that is unique to the industry. All aluminum parts are cast in Alcoa 356 aluminum, heat treated to a T-6 hardness, and machined on CNC equipment to ensure consistency in quality and performance. Our products are cast with a more refined casting sand than is normally used by foundries. This casting technique produces much more refined products, which are noticeably different in overall visual appeal than our competition. Due to their more refined finish, our products are much easier to polish. When polished, they hold their brilliant shine for a much longer period of time, due largely to our use of Alcoa 356 aluminum and our heat treatment process. The quality of workmanship and accuracy of reproduction details set the highest standard for the vintage speed equipment industry.

Winning vintage racer, historian, consummate auto enthusiast and owner of Monterey Speed & Sport, Don Orosco has been a serious hot rodder for over 50 years. As a teenager, he attended the Oakland Roadster Show in the 1950’s, and competed there in later years. His superb restorations of three famous Hot Rod Magazine cover cars, the ex-Alex Xydias So-Cal Speed Shop ’34 Ford coupe, the Lloyd Bakan ’32 Ford three-window coupe, and the Dick Flint ’29 Ford roadster, won first place in the highly competitive Historic Hot Rod Class at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. His restoration of the ex-Tony LaMasa “Ricky Nelson” ’32 Ford roadster, was a third place winner.

Don may be best known in hot rod circles for his better-than-original reproduction Ardun overhead valve cylinder heads for Ford and Mercury flatheads. He was the first to take on the challenge of reproducing these scarce, almost-legendary components. His Arduns were virtually identical to the originals. Orosco was also the first to reproduce highly desirable Eddie Meyer “Hollywood” finned high compression heads and intake manifolds for numerous flathead applications.

As a result of his broad vintage racing experience, Don maintains close contact with top craftsmen around the world who are capable of manufacturing virtually anything. He periodically taps into this tremendous talent pool to develop rare and unusual flathead speed equipment, unique hot rod accessories, and historic race car parts, always in limited quantities – many of which are products that he routinely uses in his own cars.

“We are dedicated to preserving our automotive heritage through the products we manufacture, the restoration projects we undertake, and the race events we participate in. They evoke an era when craftsmanship and innovation were admired and respected, and speed and power were the goal. Our work at Monterey Speed and Sport embodies the best of a simpler time and continues a tradition of excellence... and still manages to get our heart pounding like the sight and sound of a period Lakes racer making a pass at Bonneville!”

Eddie Meyer EngineeringEddie Meyer went into business in 1919 repairing Model T Fords in Redlands, California and became a successful race car driver, racing a Rajo Model T with great success in 1923 and 1924. Bud Meyer, Eddie’s son, joined Eddie Meyer Engineering in 1928. Eddie generally ran the business and Bud was primarily in charge of the shop. A few of their more legendary employees included Ed Pink, Louis Senter (Ansen), Tom Sparks, Phil Remington, and Ray “Racer” Brown, all of whom went on to fabled careers in the automotive performance industry. Eddie Meyer Engineering Company produced outstanding flathead speed equipment from the late 1940’s through the early 1950’s. The overall quality of their equipment was always a cut above the competition. Bud finally purchased the business from Eddie in 1973, and continued to operate Eddie Meyer Engineering Company, primarily engaged in the repair of European sports cars, until the business eventually closed in 2002. Due to the quality and performance of Eddie Meyer flathead speed equipment and the Meyer “mystique” rooted in the family’s rich racing history, Eddie Meyer products have always been some of the most highly prized speed equipment ever produced. The staff at Monterey Speed and Sport is proud of its role in perpetuating this important chapter of our hot rod heritage.
