Jim’s ‘64 Galaxie

Presenting our exceptional 1964 Ford Galaxy, a dream project brought to life for John Sigmon. This classic beauty had been a familiar sight on his daily commute, sitting in a front yard for years, but John envisioned transforming it into a pro-touring race car with an elegant flair. We dedicated countless hours to meticulous metalwork, repairing the body, tucking the bumpers, and refining the body lines for a sleek finish. The Galaxy is built on a Roadster Shop chassis, equipped with 14-inch Baer brakes, a robust 9-inch rear end, and top-tier suspension for superior handling. Staying true to its roots, we retained an FE engine, but pushed the limits with 665 hp, thanks to an all-aluminum block from Bear Block Motors, complete with custom cylinder heads, a solid roller camshaft, and a converted tunnel port intake for multi-point fuel injection. This dry sump engine is paired with a six-speed Tremec transmission, blending performance with sophistication. Inside, the elegant red velvet-style interior showcases handmade billet accents and a waterfall-style console, with bucket seats in both the front and rear. This build is a testament to craftsmanship and passion, showcasing the perfect balance of race-inspired power and classic elegance.

Having approached a few local builders I quickly learned that nobody I approached offered warranty of any significance on rebuilt performance engines, but every single builder would do the work had I proceeded for a significant cost to me, all the risk being mine.

In 2011 I was looking for a local engine builder down here in Australia to rebuild my old modified 302 cu in engine. What I wanted was my original Windsor block rebuilt with all new rotating parts and the heads either changed out for Alloy or modified to seek more power. I also wanted to understand the warranty such engine builders would offer. I also wanted good horsepower and torque.

I was looking for a Ford 351W engine to fit in a GT40 replica and came across Prestige Motor Sports on the internet. After reviewing other engine builders in the UK and overseas it was apparent that Prestige gave better value for money and had a reputation for quality. Doug Aitken was extremely helpful and always responded quickly to my emails and requests for information. I got what I wanted, on time, on budget and with no surprises. After my engine arrived Doug was helpful as ever when I was looking for compatible, parts, oils, etc. in the UK. My only regret is that I shipped the engine myself and it took forever; despite Doug's efforts to deal with my shipper. I should have let Prestige handle that too. I can thoroughly recommend Prestige Motorsports.

Prestige Motorsports did a GREAT job on my 1932 Ford Truck. From the custom paint job to the extras that make the truck stand-out...expert and custom work all around. They stayed true to the price estimates that I was given and continued to be professional throughout my experience. I would highly recommend them for all of your custom car/truck needs.

These guys are great very friendly. They built a big block chevy for me and it runs great. They helped me any time I called them with questions on the installation of the engine. They are always willing to take as much time as needed to help you get through any problems you may have. I will definitely purchase my next engine from them.
