BIG BLOCK ENGINE Builds Tampa 

Have Your Big Block Built Or Repaired By An ASE Certified Master Technician

At Full Tilt Automotive and Performance, we work on Big Block Engine Builds multiple times a week – every week of the year. Every time we do these custom builds, we make sure you get the perfect engine for your vehicle, and your desired application. We’ve put Big Block Engines in race cars with nitrous, supercharges, turbochargers, ProChargers and everything else you can think of. We’ve put them in really small cars like a 427 we customized for a Backdraft Cobra. Each Full Tilt technician currently owns at least one Big Block Engine Build that was built by their hands and it performs reliably in their vehicles. We’re certain in our ability to build the perfect Big Block for your vehicle because we’ve seen it all and we’ve done it all with these platforms. 

Our Big Block experience is second to none because our technicians are more than Big Block Engine Builders; they’re Big Block Engine Racers! When we show up to the track, we don’t show up to have engine trouble, we don’t show up to lose, we only go to win. We bring that same mentality to your Big Block Engine Build, your engine maintenance and your engine repair. You deserve a team of guys on your who can get the job done right. You deserve Full Tilt Automotive and Performance. 

One of the cornerstones of our Big Block Engine Build Team is our veteran car guy Jamie and he’s got more than 25 years of hands on experience making engines come to life. Before joining Full Tilt, Jamie owned a high performance shop in Ohio that built custom motors from 55 to current – 10-15 units at a time. His Big Block Engine Builds created up to 600 HP, and his product was so reliable he sold them throughout Ohio and shipped many nationwide.

At Full Tilt Automotive and Performance we’re all about hands on experience AND education, which is why our owner Jonathan Longworth became a UTI Graduate (Universal Technical Institute) and earned each of the available ASE Certification to become a Master Technician. If your Big Block Engine Build needs to be done right the first time, you should call Full Tilt Automotive and Performance today.
