Blueprint Engines

[flstang65]

Does anyone have experience with them or, their products? I am looking into getting the 65 up and running again this spring or next and was weighing my engine options. I am going to save the original 289 and put it away and replace it with something more modern. Long story short, it will be a driver, I don't want to race it and, eventually it will go to my daughter (which is a ways away) I can do the engine myself but, for close to the same price as me building it, I can order the 306 crate motor with more than a enough power for a weekend cruiser AND it comes with a 30 month 50,000 mile warranty. Seems kind of like a no brainer, not to mention, I will save a lot of time. Just looking for you guy's thoughts on that company.

Various magazines have said good things about them and/or used their engines as the basis for something else.

The last (and only) crate engine I bought was a Recon Tough One Xtreme back in 2005. It dynoed right where they said it would, and is still running in the fox I dropped it in (I've kept track of that car over the years).

Blueprint does offer a good warranty, decent pricing, and is carried by Summit and Jegs both, don't see any reason not to use one for a project.

The plan is to dress it like the 289, AJE tubular front set up and rear set up. 8.8 rear end and an AOD for the tranny.

Bought a 408 from them! Great product, customer service is good. Great power, more than expected!
