Frequently Asked
Questions

All fresh-build engines carry a limited assembly warranty covering parts and workmanship — typically 30 days or the first competition event, whichever comes first. Used and race-pulled engines are sold as-is but come with full documentation of condition, so you know exactly what you're getting before you buy. Contact us for warranty specifics on any individual listing.
Engines ship on purpose-built wooden pallets with heavy-duty crating to protect against freight damage. We work with a network of motorsport-experienced freight carriers across the continental US. Shipping cost depends on engine size, weight, and your location — we'll quote you exact freight before you commit. International shipping via freight-forwarding is also available on request.
Absolutely — that's one of our specialties. Tell us your sanctioning body (NHRA, SCCA, NASA, IMCA, etc.), your specific class, and the rulebook year, and we'll match you to an engine that passes tech. We've helped customers across bracket drag, circle track, road racing, and rally disciplines find class-legal power without overspending.
Every used engine listing includes whatever documentation we have from the previous owner: dyno sheets, heat cycle counts, teardown photos, receipts for parts, and a condition report from our own inspection. We flag anything that needs attention honestly — we'd rather lose a sale than have you show up at the track with a surprise. Listings that have dyno data will say so clearly in the product details.
Yes — we buy outright and accept consignment from teams, engine builders, and private sellers. We're always looking for quality race engines with known histories. If you have an engine to sell, send us the details (displacement, configuration, application, hours/cycles, and any supporting documentation) and we'll get back to you with an offer or consignment terms quickly.
