Hawk Performance Engines (HPE) builds custom, purpose-built engines for street cars, trucks, race applications, and swaps. We’re based in Pensacola, FL, and every build we put out the door is backed by the same precision machining standards our sister company, Car City Engine, has used for over 40 years.
Two Shops, One Standard
Car City Engine is our machine shop — the crankshaft grinding, cylinder boring, honing, and cylinder head work behind every HPE build happens there, under the same roof, by the same experienced machinists. HPE is where that machining expertise becomes a finished, dyno-ready engine built for your specific combination and goals.
If you’re looking for machining-only services rather than a full custom build, visit Car City Engine directly — they handle everything from crankshaft grinding to full engine rebuilds for gas and diesel applications.

Built for Your Application
Whether you’re building a street/strip combination, a daily driver with some extra punch, a swap engine for a project car, or a dedicated race build, we spec the combination around how you’re actually going to use it — not just a spreadsheet of parts.
