Default 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

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)
