In this episode of Engine of the Week brought to you by PennGrade Motor Oil and Elring, we look at the details of a Toyota/Lexus 1UZ-FE engine built by Tom Hughes of Hughes Race Engineering in Auckland, New Zealand.
LML Duramax Engine
Just like most who become enamored with diesel engine work, Ray McClelland Jr. started tinkering at a young age. A new transmission, new clutch, upgraded tune and a turbo, and now he’s made it a career creating diesel performance at his shop, Full Throttle Kustomz Diesel. Ray recently finished this LML Duramax build, which is ready to take on a drag race, a sled pull and a dyno run, but it hasn’t forgotten its street manners. Find out what went into the build!
ProCharged Top Sportsman Engine
Scott Duggins of PAR Racing Engines will build anything from a 434 small block to a 860 cid big block, including this blown, ProCharged Top Sportsman engine. Find out what went into this fast, high-horsepower build!
Ultimate Callout Challenge 6.7L Cummins Engine
With nearly 2,100 horsepower and more than 3,000 ft.-lbs. of torque on tap, Armor Inc. Diesel & Suspension’s 6.7L Cummins engine makes the shop’s 2007 Dodge the fastest diesel truck in Canada! Find out what goes into this Ultimate Callout Challenge diesel build!
GM 604 Engine
Steve Hendren can thank his dad, Bill Hendren, for teaching him everything he knows about engine building. In fact, the whole Hendren family is an integral part of the evolution of Hendren Racing Engines in Rutherfordton, NC. It’s that family formula that helps crank out 140-160 engines a year like this GM 604 engine. Find out what goes into making this a mean race engine!
Precision Engine Machine Co.

6.7L Ford Powerstroke
Growing up in rural Indiana means you grow up around a lot of diesel trucks. As an Indiana native, it was only natural that John Roberson of Outlaw Diesel Performance developed a passion for fixing and modifying diesels such as this 6.7L Ford Powerstroke. Find out what went into this sweet build.
358 cid National Late Model Chevy Engine
With an extensive background in building race engines, Mike Hedgecock has been running Eagle Racing Engines for nearly 40 years! He now runs the shop with his son and grandson churning out complete engine builds like this 358 cid National Late Model Chevy engine. Find out what goes into these race-ready builds!
12-Valve Fummins
No, that’s not a typo. Tommy Clayton’s Clarksville, TN-based diesel shop, Integrity Diesel Performance, is known for doing its fair share of Cummins swaps. When they swap a Cummins into a Ford, they call them Fummins builds, and they’re pretty awesome. Find out what makes this 12-valve Fummins a special build.
Toyota/Lexus 1UZ-FE V8 Engine
Engine building isn’t necessarily rocket science, but having spent three years working for Rocket Lab, the New Zealand space program, as the leading hand of propulsion responsible for engine production certainly can’t hurt. That’s the background of Tom Hughes, which has translated into many high-end race engines being built throughout his career and at his new engine shop, Hughes Race Engineering. Find out what aerospace engineering went into this Toyota/Lexus 1UZ-FE V8 race engine!
