One Year of COVID

As we all know, March 2021 marks a full year since the Coronavirus began altering what we used to know as ‘normal life.’ I don’t think any of us will forget March 2020 when we began hearing that this then foreign flu strain was starting to make the rounds in the U.S. I remember we

LS Engine Swap Tips

Crap Happens

If treated with the appropriate response and a high level of customer service, a mistake can be a plus. I know that sounds backwards, but hear me out.

Top Car Speed

What’s the fastest you’ve ever driven your production vehicle? Asking this question of this crowd, I’m probably safe in assuming it’s pretty damn fast! In college, on my way home from Albany, NY to Rochester, NY, I did 125 mph on I-90. Let me tell you, in my 2003 Honda Accord, I had blurred vision.

Engine Components: Getting a Good Clean

There are few things that can rejuvenate you like a good, hot shower. I can only imagine how awful it must have been a few hundred years ago having to bathe in stale, tepid water out of a small tub no less. And, you’d only do that maybe once a week! I’m certainly thankful I

Import Intrigue

Whether it’s with Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Mazda, Nissan, Porsche, or something else, you’d be amazed at the horsepower levels being achieved.

The Hits Just Keep on Coming

As I sat down to write this month’s column, an email from SEMA popped up in my inbox. Would it be another safety update? Would it be promises of another great show happening in the fall? No.

Giving Old Pistons New Attitude

I find great joy in creating the pistons I make, and in the joy they bring others. I believe every piston heading to the scrap heap has a story to tell. I try to leave behind imperfections or damage when possible to help preserve the history of the piece.

Engine are Awesome, but There’s so Much More to Explore

With all the different types of automotive engines in the world tod ay, and those from many years ago, there’s really never a shortage of things to cover in our magazine each month and each year. From the engines used in ultra-high performance and racing to hot rods and street cars to diesel, marine and

Stuck in Peru

The following story comes to us from Rottler’s David Bianchi. It’s both timely and fits the theme of our International issue for June.

Diesel Dominance

Whether you have a Ford, Dodge or Chevy, the Powerstroke, Cummins and Duramax diesels are all being pushed beyond their prior limits to reach new milestones.

Social Distancing Out on the Open Water

I’ll spare you the Coronavirus recaps and regurgitating all the information we have been constantly bombarded with every day. If you’re anything like me, it’s beginning to get tiresome, though important. What we do know is social distancing and stay-at-home orders are effective and have drastically reduced the impact of the COVID-19 virus.  I’ve been

The 2020 Daytona 500 – Which Side Were You On?

In 2018, I got the chance to attend the Daytona 500 as part of a good friend’s bachelor party. We had a blast that weekend watching the race and seeing Austin Dillon take his first Daytona 500 win in an exciting last lap. That was my first time at Daytona International Speedway and the experience

The Evolution of Monsters

Monster Jam drivers are constantly challenged with creating amazing spectacles for their audiences and with each successful trick, the challenge is raised to go faster, higher or farther than the time before.

All Hail the Mighty LS

With all the current talk that still surrounds the LS platform, it’s hard to believe the early generations of these engines are nearly 25 years old!

Cheers to a New Decade

Yes, another year has come and gone, and I’m proud to say it’s been a good one here at Engine Builder magazine – one filled with several highlights.

Fall Means Fun

When it comes to business, fall is my favorite time of year, but It’s not the pumpkin spice coffee, the changing color of the leaves or the cooler temps. I do love watching football, but what I love about this time of year is what happens in our industry from October to December.

Who Doesn’t Love a Little Recognition?

In my opinion, there are only a small handful of feelings greater than that of being recognized for good, hard work. In my time at Engine Builder magazine, I’ve seen few people who are more passionate, harder working and more deserving of getting overdue recognition than the engine builders around this country.

A Wo(man)’s World

We’ve made a conscious effort to give the women of this industry recognition for the great things they are doing in this industry, and it starts with the July 2019 issue of Engine Builder.
