4200 Swap The World

Born out of a passion, and created to fill a need, Atlas Industries LLC. designs and builds top notch components for the GM Atlas engine family, including the infamous Vortec 4200. We want you to go fast without breaking the bank. The 4200 isn't a 2JZ, and we don't overprice our parts like it either.

(Hey, that's me!) I started Atlas Industries to help fuel a passion for the Vortec 4200 and it's siblings. Initially just parts for myself and friends, other people seemed to like my work, so I decided to start expanding. I built my first Vortec 4200 engine swap in 2015, and never looked back!

Back in 2011, after getting a BS. in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Kettering Univeristy, I spent over 10 years working here in Metro Detroit for Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs. I was blessed to be involved with several high profile engine programs and prototype work for Bearings, Pistons, Rings and more. However, I became disheartened with the bureaucracy that is "The Auto Industry"; It's endless cost cutting and bean counting over innovation and quality. I was already racing and building cars every weekend; why not make that a career? Skilled in welding and machining, and armed with my experience in engine design, I decided it was time to start a company and run it the way I wanted; Putting Quality over penny pinching, putting Customer Service at the forefront of everything, and designing and producing the best darn parts you can get! All at a price an "Average Joe" like you and I can afford.

Thanks for stopping by! What Atlas project will you build today?
