I searched but could not find any reference to "Prestige" on this forum.

They sell a complete 572 that seems like an appropriate engine for my fake super bee.

Anyone here have experience dealing with them?

Thanks
Craig

Never heard of them. I have heard of Ray Barton. He has done one of those before.

Never heard of them either........ not that that means anything.

They’re certainly located in an area where there should be plenty of talent.

My question would be....... if they don’t have a block on hand for your build....... where are they going to get one?

No, but here is a bump to the top.

They did come up in research a couple times when I started mine.

If it is the company I am thinking of, they have a really smooth running one on youtube that would probably appeal to those into milder engines.

I think that one had an aluminum block but can't recall...

I suspect they won't honor the 3 year warranty if I take the entire engine apart to inspect it. The car is just a driver, not a real race car.

Since nobody here has any first hand experience with them, I think I will probably hold off for another year. The car needs a dana and rear springs moved in, so I guess I will do that this year instead.

IMOP your so much better off getting a block when you can find one,even a used block as your a streeter,There are many choices for cylinder heads available as is rocker gear.There is also a large selection of internal parts to choose from that YOU could choose.
Do you have a GOOD machine shop near you that is capable of blueprinting your project? I think you could accomplish your desire for less then a Barton crate!
