Advanced Ford Service, Performance & Restomod Capabilities in Calgary
Ford IDS & FDRS Module Coding and Advanced Diagnostics in Calgary
We don’t just scan for error codes. Our team uses both Ford IDS and FDRS systems — the same diagnostic platforms trusted by Ford dealerships. This allows us to:
- Reprogram critical modules (PCM, TCM, BCM, ABS, and more).
- Handle advanced calibrations including immobilizer/keys, adaptive cruise, and ABS.
- Perform warranty-compliant service on newer Ford models, while also offering custom ECU calibration that dealerships cannot provide.
This combination of factory-level access and performance tuning freedom is unique to Lakeview, making us the go-to shop for both daily-driver maintenance and high-performance builds.
Ford Engine Disassembly, Rebuilds & Performance Builds
We rebuild Ford engines in-house — from EcoBoost turbos to Coyote V8s and even the massive 7.3L Godzilla platform. With specialized Ford tooling for timing chains, cam/crank alignment, and full teardown, plus our in-house CNC machining, we can:
- Restore tired engines to OEM spec.
- Build high-performance short and long blocks capable of 1,000+ horsepower.
- Design and fabricate custom brackets, mounts, and drivetrain adapters in CAD.
This means whether your F-150 needs a timing chain service or your Mustang is destined for four-digit horsepower, we can handle it under one roof.
Custom Fabrication & CNC Machining for Ford Restomods and Performance Builds
Unlike most shops, we run a 3-axis CNC machine in-house, capable of machining aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. Our fabrication shop includes TIG welders, tube benders, and full exhaust/turbo system capability — including titanium fabrication. Past projects include:
- Custom intake manifolds from billet aluminum.
- Turbo kits with handmade piping and intercoolers.
- Drivetrain adapters for engine swaps.
- Suspension and chassis components.
Every part is designed in-house with CAD, ensuring precision and performance. No other independent Ford shop in Calgary offers this combination of design, machining, and fabrication.
Ford Dyno Tuning & Calibration with Mustang MD150x AWD Dyno
Tuning is where performance builds come alive. Our Mustang MD150x AWD dyno (in-ground) allows us to safely tune everything from stock trucks to 1,000+ hp builds. We work with all major tuning software, including:
- HP Tuners
- SCT
- COBB Accessport
- ECUTEC
- Syvecs
- Link
- MoTeC and even WinOLS for advanced calibrations
Whether you’re chasing efficiency, drivability, or maximum power on pump gas or E85/alt fuels, our calibration team delivers results.
Complete Ford Restomod & Classic Integration
We don’t just restore — we re-engineer classics. From Coyote swaps in vintage Mustangs to Godzilla-powered Broncos, our team integrates modern powertrains, drivetrains, and electronics into timeless chassis. Services include:
- Full engine and transmission swaps (including Ford’s 10-speed automatics).
- CAN bus integration, EFI conversions, and digital dash installs.
- Suspension, brakes, and chassis upgrades for modern safety and handling.
- Partnerships with Calgary’s best body shop (Legacy Speed & Body) for show-quality finishes.
This makes us Calgary’s one-stop destination for Ford restomods — capable of blending heritage with high-performance modern reliability.
Decades of Ford Experience, One Team of Specialists
Lakeview Automotive has been known for Ford expertise in Calgary since the early 1980s. Today, our team includes:
- 6 Ford-specialized technicians, each with 6–20+ years of hands-on experience.
- Expertise spanning daily-driver F-150s, EcoBoost platforms, Mustangs, and full-blown restomods.
- A balanced workload: ~33% daily maintenance, ~33% performance builds, ~33% classics/restorations.
And while we’ve handled countless Ford projects, one standout was our early Godzilla-swapped 2012 Mustang — a ground-breaking build that required custom turbo manifolds, intake design, and early aftermarket ECU integration. It produced 800 whp and 900 wtq, and put us among the first shops in the world to make the platform work.
