What clients say about ARC Race Engines in Rockaway Township (NJ)
I only gave 5 stars because it would not allow me to go up to ten. There are two important things, when working with ARC Race Engines and Bruce's Speed Shop. First off, you are going to getting a wealth of knowledge that is literally not matched by anyone in the area. When you have a vehicle that is important to you, you want to be it someone's hands you trust. like Alan Prusiensky. If the best mechanic is ranked at 100, Alan is ranked at 120.
The second thing that is even more important, is working with someone that does not have an attitude. If your vehicle has a mechanical issue, it is like having a child that is sick. You want to have the vehicle right and the last thing you need is a mechanic with an bad attitude. So, working with Alan gives you the best mechanic, with the most knowledge, without the bad attitude. Why would you take your car any place else?
I recently met Alan and he did the heads on my 2018 Honda Accord 2.0t. I enjoy talking to him and ARC Race Engine did a excellent job with my car. Thank you so much Alan. If I need any work done to my car I will call you first.
Alan’s done head work for me, short blocks and most recently my personal 3 valve 4.6 ford modular engine this guy knows how to build a motor. Best part now he has a chassis Dyno too, and he’s great with tuning! I’ve been burned by other machine shops and I’m glad I met ARC and Alan!
Great service, helped me through my whole build process. Additionally, they did an amazing job with communication and being up front about what was getting done. No corners cut and overall a great experience, will absolutely be returning to give them my business!
Great group of guys over here all around. I'm running a 383 dart SHP with AFR 195's and an F1A Procharger. The motor was built for serious power. I took the car to a different tuner prior to this and the result wasn't where I wanted it.
After speaking with Alan about the issues, he offered to put a different tune. Wow! What a difference. In about 2 hours there was a 100hp power gain on the wheels. The car runs so much more efficiently! I'm very happy with the knowledge and honesty of Alan and his crew! I had the most fun making my own pulls on the Dino. Thank you so much!
It's pretty obvious that Alan and his team are passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make sure that the short block they assembled for me both met their own in house standards and exceeded my expectations. They have all the equipment to do precision machine work in house. I wouldn't hesitate to go back
These guys kick ass. I dropped off My Import Ford Barra feeling hesitant at first by my lousy experience with other engine shops but after talking with Alan for a few minutes, all that went away. The Engine and head look beautiful, so happy with the final result. Dropped everything off Jan 21, picked everything up March 6, and about a week and a half of that was waiting on parts to ship. Will be bringing other more shop work to these guys for sure!
Thanks Alan, Neil, and Chris ??
Alan did a great job repairing my cracked oil cooler, and even asked me if it leaked once I got home to install it. He was also able to repair it the same day which would not be posible at any other shop on a Saturday. 10 out of 10 customer service and workmanship
Alen and his team really hit the ball out of the park. The engine build he did is amazing. My car is crazy fast. I can't wait to get on the track and see the 1/4 mile time. What an extreme difference from what it was. It's a totally new kind of animal. Thanks guy's.

ARC Race Engines are the BEST! They solved a factory defect known as a "Hemi Tick" for half as much as the dealer wanted and then offered to make my 2015 Dodge Charger R/T 345 5.7L a 392+ 6.1 cammed, stroked and all reinforced with better than Hellcat internals! we are so happy with our new car just from the new engine work put in by Alan and his team!
I brought in junk yard heads from a 2005 Volvo 2.5T B5254T2 . ACR Race Engines rebuild the heads. They performed a vacuum test on each valve to verify they could hold 28-30 inches of vacuum while I was there. This validated perfect sealing.The job was done quickly and competitively . They did an excellent job.
Alan, Richie and the rest of the staff are awesome. Did an excellent job on my motor and in the process became friends. Would highly recommend his service.
Wow what a great experience! Found ARC ENGINES online after getting quotes from others. Gave the best price and the best customer service. Would 100% use again and will refer!
Alan certainly doesn't need my review for the engine building community to know of his expertise, but I will say he went above and beyond to help me with my LA360 engine build. Would highly recommend if you want an engine built correctly.

A week after getting my new (to me) car, I broke down and was told by my mechanic I needed to replace my engine. It is a honda with only 100k miles. So I did some research and found Allan and ARC. Instead of paying what I just paid for the whole car, Allan fixed and replaced everything in the engine and recommended me to a mechanic that would fix it instead of just replacing in. He was great but hopefully I never have to use his services again... unless I decide to get into racing.
Alan and his team is fantastic at what they do. During the pandemic I decided to restore my 93 LT1 that I've had since I was 18. I wanted to do it right, so I called him to see if he could help me deck my block and heads as I feared I had some symptoms of warping. He not only helped me diagnose my blowby, but also went further into every part of the rotating assembly to show me signs of wear that could have caused catastrophic failure down the road... Given how much this car means to me, it was important to address every problem now. He offered to do the entire engine rebuild for me, and knowing my limited budget, worked to find alternatives to just replacing my pistons and heads and charged me a very fair price for it all. This didn't affect his attention on it though, I was allowed to come by and see the progress when I asked and could see everything was meticulously re-finished and assembled, and he even painted the block which I told him I would do myself. All in all, I think he turned it around in a few weeks, considering my job was not very lucrative for him, it shows his passion for what he does by putting it so high on his priority list. I worked to continue restoring the body and drivetrain of the car over the next year and a half and when I finally went to start it a few weeks ago, there was an issue with the timing due to my opti-spark (common problem with the electronics, not his doing). Regardless of it not being his fault, he went out of his way to come to my house after hours and on weekends to help me figure it out until the engine started and ran (better than it ever has). Alan, I can't thank you enough for all you did for me. This restoration project is the achievement of my lifetime and it wouldn't have been possible without you or your team. You can consider me a lifelong customer, and I will recommend your services to everyone I know.
Alan and his wife gave the softball team the racers, that they sponsor an awesome tour and gifts. They are wonderful folks and we had a wonderful time.
