POWERHEADS was established in 1995 and focused on building the finest modified factory cylinder heads. We were the first company to offer “affordable” CNC ported heads and may be the only company building highly  modified factory cast iron heads  to this day. POWERHEADS has literally built thousands of 289-302-351W-351C heads over the years and continues to improve our methods as time goes on. In 1998 we started modifying OHC modular heads and by 2000 we were building modular engines,  at this point in time no other US company wanted to build them. Modular engines are a radical departure from your average pushrod engine, lots of lessons to learn, and usually the hard way.  After many years of experience and over 300 modular engine builds, we know these engines more than any other company. POWERHEADS has recently added a line of Windsor/Cleveland engines and our newest creations, the “BOSS 351 DOHC” and “BOSS 429C” power plants. Our business is a family owned father/son team, and we are also serious high performance enthusiast, so we know what you want and how to build it right. The truth is most all shops and some individuals have access to a wide assortment of high performance parts, and that anyone can build your motor. The difference between an excellent running engine that produces the power and reliability you expected and paid for, and one that does not or fails, is the expertise  required for selecting the right parts, EXCELLENT machine work and the knowledge, experience and patience needed to correctly assemble your work. We have a SYSTEM OF ASSEMBLY which involves numerous measurements, calculations and testing to ensure our customers they made the right choice. There are lots of companies out there claiming to be “the best” or offering “low prices” but be aware many subcontract this work out to cheaper low cost local shops with obsolete equipment and NO quality control so you can imagine the end result. POWERHEADS has also heavily invested in a wide assortment of xlnt machinery and equipment to perform ALL machining and assembly process “in house” to control the entire process from start to finish ( see our “shop tour” ). 

The bottom line is we care about our work and our reputation and our customers. We want your project to be successful and fun ! Lets build some horsepower!
