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.

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).

Still, do they make more proven, reliable power than a big aftermarket Chevy, Ford or Hemi ? Is it just another flavor of the same, in the end horsepower ?
Or is there some advantage, cost per HP ?

Check out AJPE he should be somewhere in your area.

The 481X is BBC based, but it is a billet block, billet head combo rated up to 5,000HP. It has become the go-to engine for a lot of racers because of the availability of parts, and price. It is probably the most mass produced billet engine out there.

Thank you very much for that. I wanted to know what it was based on, its origin.
I like to talk engines and would rather ask the fine folks here than just do a internet search.
