Blue Print Engines???

Never heard anything good about them,as for buying a crate(crap)engine and tearing it down kind of defeats the purpose most have for buying them..just save your time and money find a shop you can trust to build it right,instead of buying something who knows who built...

Maybe so, but if I ever get an engine put together by someone else, I always tear it apart for myself. Defeats the purpose or not, I do it. Because "I" know "I" know how to build an engine. I don't know what somebody else knows. Most it's gonna cost is another gasket set. That's a small price to pay for the piece of mind the job's done RIGHT. Gotta guy bringing me a chubby 305 to build today. First one I've done in a little bit. With all this medical I got goin on it's the first one I've felt like doin. It does seem these blueprint engines have their issues though, doesn't it? Engine assembly is something so simple to do, every single hot rodder out there needs to learn how to do it correctly.....if for no other reason than for their own protection against idiots that don't.
