J. Bittle American 25th Anniversary Open House
Posted by btucker on August 07th, 2010
After 25-years of high performance in San Diego, the crew at JBA were proud to host an open house celebration at our new expanded facility in Kearny Mesa on Sunday, August 1, 2010. In addition to lots of cool cars, food, music, pin striping, models and more, JBA’s open house featured tours of the showroom, garage area, fab shop, engine dyno cell, chassis dyno and engine machine shop. We ran a 500-cubic inch Indy-cylinder headed Mopar on our run stand, a 425-hp 331 small block Ford on the engne dyno, and J. Bittle’s all aluminum 500-inch FE -powered 1967 Shelby on the chassis dyno. See the pictures for a quick tour, or stop by and see the shop in person at 5675 Kearny Villa Road, San Diego, CA 92123. Thanks again to our customers for making this event a huge success!

Moving JBA’s Engine Shop
Posted by abittle on February 24th, 2010
After a couple long weekends of work the JBA team and family finally completed its move from the old location in Mission Gorge to the shop in Kearny Mesa. Now with the whole machine shop moved, JBA is ready to disassemble, machine, assemble and dyno tune your engine on site! If you want to see more just swing by and check it out. I will post more pictures of the dyno later….Enjoy.
