Anybody running a Schwanke engine? Wondering how they held up under spraying them and quality and reliability, customer service and so on? In the market on a budget and was thinking of them since they have good prices.

I bought some 317 heads from them. They are a great bunch of guys and are very helpful. They can offer different parts/ brands for each block or rotating assembly. Give them a call they will be more than willing to help you out.

I had them dyno tune my car. They are very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Thats where my next shortblock will be coming from. Give 'em a call they know their stuff, they do alot with sprint cars and have had good luck a street motor shouldn't be a problem.

My car is loud as F#$%. you would definitly be able to tell it apart from others. There is an older woman with a stock SS that looks just like mine in the area.

I have a schwanke 415 iron block in my Firehawk. It has AFR 225 heads and a TREX cam. I haven't sprayed it yet but it has trapped 124 mph in the 1/4 pushing the 3730# Hawk. I can't answer your question for the spray but it is a monster on just motor and hasn't skipped a beat. I have about 3000K miles on it and the oil looks new.
