Welcome, and thank you for visiting our website. For 40 years, Gaerte Engines has been building high-performance racing engines. From our humble beginnings in 1969, our company’s strength and accomplishments have centered on our personalized service to you, the racer. Professional racers demand engines with the absolute latest available technology, durability and power. Our extensive knowledge and experience, combined with our new facility and state-of-the-art equipment will meet those demands and give you the winning edge over the competition.

We invite you to take advantage of our small town atmosphere and open-door policy. At Gaerte, we feel the racer deserves the opportunity to see his engine at any time, from machining and assembly to being fired up for the first time on one of our four dynamometers. At Gaerte Engines, our winning tradition is based on customer satisfaction…Not empty promises.

We invite you to take a look around and learn more about our products and services. Due to constant changes in our type of business, we encourage you to phone us for technical questions, parts shipments and price quotations on new complete engines, short blocks and components.

Come see for yourself...

When you visit the Gaerte Engines shop in Rochester, IN,you know you are among racing people. Even more, you know there have been many racing people there before you. The walls and halls of Gaerte Engines are adorned with photos of every kind of performance vehicle that uses 8 cylinders. Sprint cars are abundant of course, as are dirt and asphalt Late Models, but you will also see Midgets, Champ Cars (Silver Crown), Modifieds, Dragsters, Pulling Tractors, and Boats.

If you are familiar with Motorsports, you will recognize some race car or driver on our walls. Many photos are autographed with thanks to Earl Gaerte and the rest of the staff. "Thanks for all your help" is repeated many times.

In our shipping area you will find several motors waiting to be bolted into World of Outlaw, All Star Circuit of Champions, USAC Midgets, NASCAR Late Model Stock and IMSA cars. At the back of our facility are three working engine dynos and room for a fourth. Hard working Gaerte engine builders can be seen assembling and testing our motors throughout the facility.

"There is no black magic here", says Earl Gaerte. "Any of our customers are welcome to come in and take a look at how we build their engines."
