Austin Speed Equipment

Ken Austin grew up on a farm in Newberg, Oregon where his interest in cars started when he got his permit to drive to school. He started The Hot Rod Shop in 1945 where he fixed and customized cars. With his knowledge of welding, painting and engine work it kept him busy until he attended Oregon State College in 1949. While attending college he gained interest in making parts for himself and started making some speed equipment and honed his pattern making skills.In 1964, Ken built an improved air-powered vacuum system known as the Air-Vacuum System which helped found his dental equipment company A-dec. Ken and Joan have grown the company to become the leading manufacture of dental equipment in the world offering a com-plete line of dental equipment.Throughout the years he has been a classic car collector and enthusiast. Around 1998 Ken began making Ardun intake manifolds for a friend. This grew into 6 different Ardun, V8 60 intakes, Lincoln 337 heads and intakes, Lincoln V12 intakes and heads and ford flathead intakes. His passion for Hot Rods and to create new products has helped the after-market industry continue to grow
