Pretty cool you guys are making your own blocks and heads...

I assume all final machining and assembly are done in house here in the States? Quality control/build sheets completed in house?

I am just curious... I have lots of people always asking me to recommend crate engine providers so I like to stay informed.
Our engineering team has worked relentlessly on our cylinder heads and blocks, as well as other projects. We are very excited as well. Yes, all machining and assembly are completed at our Production facility, as well as the Quality control and build specs. Thank you again for the interest! We enjoy the feedback! Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with.

Default Blueprint crate engine

I put a 383 with 422 HP and 450 lb/ft in my 73 over the winter. Really enjoying the car now, did a custom exhaust and stuck MSD Atomic EFI on it. The car really came alive and you don't really drive it anymore, you hold on for dear life! the torque curve is so perfect for the car you don't feel any let up at 80 mph. If you want to pass someone, you just goose it a little more and your by them,...that's the way Duntov intended them!
