Performance Engine builders
Looking for feedback on engine builders. Found a group called Pro-Formance Unlimited out of Ocean, New Jersey. Has anyone bought from this group or have knowledge of their reputation. They advertise a 502-600HP that would work great in my current vet project. Any first hand experience with this company may answer some of my questions. And yes, I know about the big block for sale on this forum. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't buy a crate motor off the internet, if you want a 502 get it from GM at least you know the parts they say are in the motor are there

You are correct on that observation. I will be under a big block hood and necessary modifications do not bother me on this project. The only thing half way original will be the corrosion inside my frame. For the kind of money these people get for a performance engine, I will certainly be present for the dyno run and tune. For that reason, I was looking for a reputable builder within reasonable driving distance of Virginia. A days drive would be a small price to pay for peace of mind plus no shipping charges.
Thanks

The 548 is reduced to $8500. But if you go that route you will have to spend the $4000 you save on a Tom's Differential.

Don't think I want to put that much in a motor with iron heads and has been setting around for over two years (according to date on dyno sheet) plus no warranty.
