Over the course of the last 15 years building engines here at Prestige, we’ve learned that there is a large Ford contingent over in Australia. Dee purchased a semi restored ’66 Ford Fairlane 500 a few years back…what he called a “poverty pack.” The car had 4-wheel drum brakes, manual steering, no power brakes or A/C and a 289 under the hood.

Prestige Motorsports is proud to announce our in-house CNC block machining options for customers! With our Centroid A560 CNC machine and our new Rottler HX85AX hone, not only do we machine our blocks to our high specifications, but we also offer the same high quality machine work to you for your block machining needs. From boring, decking, line honing, rod clearance, ½” studs for LS platforms, correcting lifter bore locations, Flame hooping blocks, and Torque plate honing, we can do it. Please feel free to reach out to our CNC department for any questions.

Thursday morning, October 13, 2022, started out like any other day at Prestige Motorsports, the North Carolina weather was perfect(mid-70’s), we started building custom engines, but by 12—noon, we had over 60 Fox-Body Mustangs lined up in the parking lot for shop tours, engine dyno and hub dyno demos and food for all! At Prestige Motorsports, we love to meet the people who support us and Foxtoberfest 2022 was the perfect occasion. 

At Prestige Motorsports, we pride ourselves on not only building some of the best performing and most reliable engines on the market but providing after the sale service for our amazing customers! If you’re running a Prestige Motorsports engine package and you run a consistent race program with your car, truck, or boat, please keep us updated on your schedule, accomplishments, and standings in your class. We would love to brag to the world about you! We build it all and we support all forms of competition.

As an engine builder, we try to attend multiple events each year to get out and meet the people we sell our engine packages to and spread the word about our company and services. Holley’s LS Fest and Ford Fest did not disappoint! This year we got to meet a lot of great people! The racing, drifting, car show and off-road events did not disappoint. If you are into the smell of burning rubber, race gas and watching some of the best drivers around, sliding their whips sideways around an oval track, drag racing and off-road bashing, these events are for you!

HUGE NEWS! Along with the incredible group at Holley, we are GIVING AWAY a 700+HP 427ci LT1 Chevy engine!

The Chevy Big Block engine is known for producing big power since the 1960’s and Prestige Motorsports - 632ci Air Boat Engine Package holds up to that tradition!

The owner of TorqStorm Superchargers - Chris Brooker contacted Prestige Motorsports owner - Doug Aitken to build a new motor for his 1969 Camaro RS Drag Car. Doug was asked to build a boosted 388ci LS Small Block using the Torq Storm - Billet Supercharger system. This engine was built using an aftermarket RHS block, DSS Racing pistons, Boostline Connecting rods, K1 Technologies crankshaft and Prestige Motorsports Aluminum CNC heads. The engine was then fitted with a single Torq Storm Supercharger and dyno tested and tuned.

HUGE NEWS! Along with the incredible group at Holley, we are GIVING AWAY a 1000+HP 632ci Big Block Chevy! 

Thank you so much to all of our great partners on this build. World Products is supplying the Merlin IV block while AFR is handling the intake, 457cc Magnum 18 degree heads and valve covers. SCAT crank and rods, T&D Machine Products lifters, RaceTec Pistons, COMP Cams custom camshaft, Stef's Fabrication Specialties oil pan, Innovators West, Inc. balancer and hardware from ARP! Of course, Holley is handling all of the EFI and an array of other great products. GOOD LUCK!

There's nothing better than a naturally aspirated, E85 burning big block screaming at wide-open throttle, and now you have the chance to drop one into your ride! We're not talking about grandpa's 454 here either - we're giving away 1000+ Horsepower in this 632 cubic inch fire-breathing monster built by Prestige Motorsports with an array of Holley products. This combination is capable of power figures most engines would need a power adder to produce and with throttle response that they could only dream of.

We have a number of pre-set long block combinations for small block Fords with power levels proven for over 15 years here at Prestige. We have tested just about every intake you can imagine for Fox Body's including the best options in our opinion from Holley and Trick Flow. Watch this short video as Doug explains some of the different options we offer and how we communicate with the customer on how that intake will perform in your car.
