About BES Racing Engines
I was a mechanic and ran a machine shop
for 2 years before starting Bischoff Engine Service in 1985. Back then, the bulk of the
work was stock rebuilds as well as general repairs, which at that time included
transmission work. Believe it or not, I learned most of what I know about performance by
building stock motors. Providing a warranty meant learning how to make an engine work
right the first time as well as being durable... and run for tens of thousands of miles.
The parts had to be right or the engine would be back, so my "stock motor"
experience proved to be a solid foundation for building high performance engines.
Over the years, I turned BES into a totally self-sufficient shop, providing virtually all
Machine Shop services and delivering short and long blocks for street or strip. And as
time went on, we got more into racing engines until it became our main thrust. In 1993, I
got into racing personally in a 4-wheel-drive sand dragster and my on-the-track experience
became an instant advantage for BES customers.

Four years later in 1997, the Dyno was
installed at BES's compound in West Harrison as I left the sand to get involved in NMCA
Drag Racing. At the shop, newer and better equipment was acquired and installed as the BES
team worked hard to forge a reputation for building top-notch high performance engines.
Today, as always, customers are the key to BES's success. Our engines power a whole lot
of race cars, trucks, pulling tractors, and boats to the Winner's Circle. With 8 full-time
employees, BES will soon be moving to a new 12,000 square foot building in St. Leon,
Indiana (10 minutes from West Harrison). Please come check it out. We hope to see you
there.
