408 Stroker Short Block Details: Blueprint Engines

I remember when a friend opted to order a long block kit from Scott Shafiroff racing engines. Oh did he get the dirty business from the local guys..... I put it together and it came with all machine work done and ready for assembly. It went together easily and all the machine work was fine. The end result was the car ran about a 10.0 in the quarter. When the season was through he was thoroughly convinced that a local and well respected builder would get the freshen up to show everyone how it was done. More compression, porting, and the list goes on.... All the drool coming out of peoples mouths about his new bad **** motor and the car picked up barely a tenth. I laughed at all of them and said good luck in life.... So how does that story pertain to this thread? Same deal, just a different business and names....

If you want a comp motor don't go to BP... If you have the ways and means to not go to BP and get an engine done that meets your expectations alot of people are probably envious lol.... But if everything makes sense in terms of price, time, and quality for what your expectations are you probably won't go wrong getting a mail order piece like this.... In today's world something like engine rebuilding has become a task for the average person and sometimes it worth making a phone call and solving the problem....
