I’m Nick Arias, Jr., and I’ve spent decades pursuing my passion for building top-of-the-line high-performance engines, pistons and other components for nearly every kind of racing purpose. If this is your passion, you’re in the right place.

Even if you don’t know me, you know my work, which I’m proud to say brought me the 2000 California Hot Rod Reunion Lifetime Achievement for Manufacturing Award. Racing fans around the world know my world-class pioneering piston manufacturing achievements, thanks to Arias Pistons, the company I founded in 1969.

But along the way, I also introduced some major developments and innovations in racing engines. My state-of-the-art big-block Chevy Hemi-head conversion, which debuted in 1972, changed the racing world forever. And my 10-Liter Top Fuel design, which introduced in 1975, and the Arias 8.3L engine, have carved out their own special places in racing history, along with many other accomplishments.

And I’m still hard at work, applying all this hard-won knowledge and hands-on practical experience to developing and building performance engines, now available along with lots of other great racing components right here at Nick Arias, Jr. Racing Components.
