Custom Engines
& Engine Swaps.
Modern power, thoughtful installation, and an engine bay worthy of the rest of the car. Chris Cerce Customs brings the engine, drivetrain, fabrication, and finish together as one build.
The complete package
Power That Belongs in the Build.
An engine swap reaches beyond the engine itself. Fit, wiring, cooling, exhaust, transmission choice, and access for future service all shape the result.
LS, LT & Coyote
Modern engine platforms selected around the vehicle, intended use, and character of the project.
Installation & Integration
Engine and transmission fitment, supporting systems, and the fabrication needed to bring the package together.
Engine Bay & Finish
Custom panels, detailed plumbing, paint, and finishing that make the work under the hood part of the whole car.
Work from the shop
Different Cars. Different Power.
1956 Chevrolet pickup: engine installation, wiring, cooling, and fabrication brought together during the build.
1962 Corvette: a Don Hardy 6.2-liter engine with EFI, integrated into a complete restomod.
1955 Chevrolet Bel Air: a Don Hardy-built engine, finished and integrated by Chris Cerce Customs.
Craftsmanship under the hood
The Finish Is Part of the Build.
From a painted engine to a hand-built engine bay, the details should feel at home in the car. The shop’s projects bring together custom metalwork, engine finishing, plumbing, and the surrounding drivetrain systems.
Engine partners include Don Hardy Race Engines and Wegner Automotive. The choice follows the needs of the build, with Chris Cerce Customs handling the installation and the work around it.
Beyond the engine
A Drivetrain That Works Together.
Transmission selection and installation are part of the same conversation. Manual, automatic, and modern electronically controlled options are considered alongside the engine, chassis, and the way you want to drive.
