custom engines

I have a car with a 4cylinder engine and i would love to put in something with a little bit more power into it but the avalable engines are 4 cylinder, 2 liter engines. Is there someone out there that can biuld custom engines for cars that weren't originaly designed to go more than 5mph?

Re: custom engines

We would need to know the make, model and year of car first, to advise you better.

How much more power would you like? 20%? 30%?

Generally, (but not always) it is easier to mod the engine you have, if a modest power increase is desired.

Otherwise, you can swap in a more powerful engine into most cars, but the specific details vary from one car to another and depend on your spending budget.
