Not where I was going either. What do they have to offer that is any better than Chevy,Ford or Mopar ?
There has to be some reason/advantage to buying one or they would not be in business.
By "place" I mean where they fit in the racing world?
Myself, I would not even think about buying one if I had that kind of coin. Who cares about "Proline" really. They don't make cars so its sort of like a version of a industrial engine but for racing, I think.

You really should use google before you make a post like this. That is how us keyboard racers would have done it if I didn't already know.

Check out AJPE he should be somewhere in your area.

Then I guess you should think about what you are typing before you post.
You said where is their place--- not where is their place in the race engine market.

It's pretty simple- they offer a race ready proven crate engine. They also do allot of high end Ferrari and Lambo engines as well.


And when you say who cares-- their end user cold say who cares about "XYZ"-- (insert your favorite Pontiac engine builder there).

Being loyal to a brand is one thing, being willfully blind to the advantages and place of other offerings is another. (You can insert ProLine, CV1, etc. here)

You wanted a race and Paul K was willing to drive close to half way to race you on the street, for a nice chunk of change. You made all kinds of excuses why you wouldn't/couldn't do it. Now you THINK he runs 10.90's and want to jump all over this race, for a price you balked on earlier?

Stupidity is sometimes painful.

I have no problem with 481x's or LS or any other engine? But I do have a problem with them when they are sitting in a Pontiac!
