Prestige High Performance Engines
Does anybody here on the forum have any knowledge of the above company out of Phoenix, AZ.
I have a friend who has been looking on e-bay and found there ad, seems to be a pretty decent deal.
Anybody with any pros or cons?
Thank-you

Found 3 posts in a search on the forum. ALL NEGATIVE!!! I would stay far, far away from these guys.
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

I had a poor experience with them as well. Their warranty is absolutely worthless and customer service is a joke. The engine I bought leaked oil due to a cheap timing cover and the coolant passages were blocked with rust at the block drain plugs. They would not stand good for the repair.
Buy a nice GMPP crate motor and you won't be sorry.

Myself and at least 1 other forum members have used MAS in Ellsworth, WI.
http://www.masperformance.com/cratemotors.htm
Mike builds crate motors resonable costs and custom (anything you want)
He's been in business for over 10 years and offers a 2 year warranty on his crate motors.
I'm very happy with mine, it's been breaking the rest of my drive train all summer. (Transmission, u-joints, differential, etc)
