"I'm very excited for this engine! My extensive research on crate/performance engines lead me to Prestige and I'm confident I won't be disappointed." - Kelly K.

There is still a huge following for the Ford FE engines and we're happy to continue to build them here today and keep the legacy going. When Michael B, the owner of Stellar Rod & Custom up in Michigan, was looking for a new FE build for a '73 F100 for his client, Ray...we're glad he was able to find us. I think he is as well...

If you’re a Mustang guy or gal and on Instagram, chances are you have seen this incredible ’65 Pro Touring 'Stang owned by Roy Adams, AKA Steady Dipped. He does a great job on social media and we just kept seeing this car over and over so much that we just had to reach out to him about doing a little Customer Spotlight on his build. Hope you like it as much as we do…

Melvin is California dreamin’ on the west coast right now with his ’68 Mustang Convertible newly powered by our 567HP 363ci Stroker Ford! It has been great to follow along with his build via Instagram. Tons of pride and passion from him to get his dream car rolling the way he always wanted it to.

One of the best parts of doing what we do here is getting to meet our customers, learning their stories…and of course, seeing and hearing their rides! Chris’ 1967 Mustang Fastback Shelby GT500 Clone build is definitely right up there at the top. “I’ve dreamed about building this car for 20 years and there is no expense being spared on it,” explained Chris. “I proudly tell people that Prestige Motorsports built the engine.” We certainly appreciate that, Chris!

We love Fox Bodies! We also love when Fox Body Mustang’s choose Prestige for the power. Daidrian has been just a great customer to deal with and is really making things happen getting our 554HP 363ci small block Ford installed into his ’86 Fox.

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.

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.
