Default PAR Race engines

I see mention of Sonny's engines and a few others here. Anyone have feedback on Par? http://parraceengines.com/engines/

They're up the street from me so I talked to them the other day about doing the block work on the 440.
Probably take them a few months to work it in but not in a real great hurry, just need it done and local vendors are sometimes easier to work with.
I've seen a few Pontiac engines there so it's not like they don't do them.

They had an assembled 700+ Cu In on the stand when I went in, basically like the 5" Brodix picture in the link, awesome looking piece of machinery in person.

Appears to me they don't fool with anything under 500"...

I've had a couple of blocks machined and heads freshened by them, no issues except for one time Butch assembled a couple of my rods/pistions backwards. I think he was late for his tee time.

I had another shop in Greer do that, he got all mine wrong, typical BBC guy oversight.
