Built Right
Every engine is machined, assembled, and inspected in-house by Paul Ferreira. Nothing leaves this shop without his signature on the build sheet.
The Man Behind
The Machines
Racing is a part of my DNA. My father wrenched on drag cars, and I was his younger right-hand man handing him tools before I could drive. In 2009, I started my career as a firefighter, and by 2012, I added a second career -engine building- to my resume. I spent over 15 years learning the craft under Mike Thompson, a well-respected racer and engine builder. He taught me the ins and outs of machining and assembling engines. After nearly two decades of building engines for other shops, the time came for me to open my own. Every customer who walks through that door works directly with me. No salespeople. No middlemen. Just a conversation between racers.
Services
What We Do in the Shop
Four disciplines. One standard. Every job gets the same attention whether it is a full build or a valve job.
Complete Engine Builds
From the first phone call to the belt-sheet, we build engines tailored to your car, your class, and your right foot.
Engine Refresh & Program Updates
A methodical teardown and inspection. We replace what is worn, machine what is tired, and return an honest engine.
Cylinder Honing
Precision honing for correct bore geometry and a surface finish matched to your ring package.
Cylinder Head Porting
Bowls, throats, chambers, and intake matching — optimized for your combination, not extreme porting for its own sake.

What customers say after the checkered flag drops
“Paul is your engine builder you want. Don't hesitate or skimp — do it right the first time and you will be rewarded. Experienced professional, meticulous, clean as can be. Thank you Cookie Monster”
Marshall Schreck
“Paul has built all my engines for over a decade and the only one I trust! If you want someone who communicates and has accurate timelines unlike most engine builders, PFRE is the only choice!”
Stephen Mogle
“Built me a brand new 582 from scratch. First weekend out won the race, second weekend out runner-up. Clean facility, top-of-the-line equipment and the knowledge to go with it. Would recommend him to everyone.”
