Bert’s Custom Engines – A Legacy of Power & Performance Since 1965

Founded in 1965 by Bert Beck, Bert’s Custom Engines has been a trusted name in high-performance and classic car engines for over 60 years. From motorcycle racing in his early days to tearing up Oregon’s dirt tracks, Bert brought that same passion and precision into every engine he built.

This photo is a snapshot of where it all began—Bert’s vision, hard work, and the kind of craftsmanship that earned respect across the racing and restoration community.

After Bert’s passing in 2023, his son Rick Beck proudly continues the family legacy specializing in:
—Balancing rotating assemblies, flywheels, and crankshafts
—Cylinder head work
—Rebuilding and recurving distributors
—A massive inventory of vintage parts collected over six decades

Whether you’re restoring a classic or dialing in your performance build, we’ve got the machines, experience, and passion to help bring your project to life.

Thank you for supporting a family legacy built on horsepower, history, and heart.

— Rick Beck
