I am getting my 355ct 390HP 410TQ blueprint engine delivered tomorrow. Very excited to get it installed. Should be complete in the next 2 weeks. These videos have me even more excited!

Wasn't to happy with my ATK reman








Still gotta find time and tear into it more and measure/check stuff before mods and reassemble But I got plenty of other junk to keep me biz. Better engines to assemble IE a Blueprint forged shortblock and fresh northern kit 355 shortlbock I picked up, so not sure when I'll get to it.

I have a Blue Print 383 Stroker in my 55 Bel Air. BP is awesome! Their customer service is 2nd to none. Installed 2 years ago and no problems

I have a BP 355/310/365ftlb in my 82...Holley 600, MSD, Headman headers/long tube with a rebuilt heavy 700R4, I still need to do the rear. Make sure you use a bypass regulator and the existing return line for fuel. I've called them a couple times and they were awesome to work with....

no joke i misunderstood the answer i thought being a bigger block . which i thought might give me less space to work with in the tunnel when i fit my t56 magnum which as very little room in the vette tunnel anyway . i am just a bloke not an expert on this type of stuff . but if this as made you chuckle then i am happy
