Pulled the trigger on my purchase of a 4" stroker kit. Went ahead and got all the usual accessories while I was at it. ( oil pump, valve covers, gaskets, etc.. ) Ken is an amazing guy, very helpful, and the amount of effort he put into packaging everything up was outstanding. Nothing broken or bent up, and I think half the shipping weight was in newspaper.

Next engine build I do will be with PPR parts. No doubt.

Thanks Ken!

Britt

I purchased a cam and balancer from PPR; great experience overall. I will definitely buy from them again. Thanks Ken

I've bought parts and had engines machined through PPR for a few years now- Ace is always friendly, informative, and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to engine building.

I was shocked to hear that Ace no longer offers engine building services, but he will still continue to sell just about everything you'll need to put together a high performance Pontiac V-8, and be an excellent source of information when it comes to building pontiacs.

Ken is a one man band with some help from his Mom on the phones. His business has grown and he appreciates the support provided by the Pontiac hobby. With his parts business flourishing he has pulled back on production work. He greatly enjoys specialized builds and has decided to manage but a few of these types of builds per year while at the same time working to expand his product lines for all of us Pontiyakers.

Thanx for all the praise guys. By choice I have basicaly stopped accepting anymore jobs. I have a couple of things I am working on. :-)
I will accept select motors. But not many.

Great guy and excellent customer service! Always returned my calls and did what it took to fix a problem that was not really his fault.
Great to have for our Pontiac community!

FWIW, I called a few times and left a message asking for him to call me back he never returned my calls. I ended up buying from SD or Butler.
