engine builder

Powerplant construction specialist

An engine builder is someone who assembles, modifies, or rebuilds engines—typically automotive or racing engines.

The term distinguishes craftspeople who build engines from mechanics who simply repair them.

Engine builders often specialize in performance applications, creating custom engines for racing or high-performance vehicles: He took the block to an engine builder who specializes in small-block Chevys.
