Opinions on Blueprint Crate R/B 493/440

I like the idea of BPE but in your case I don't see where it makes alot of sense. You already have a complete and running RB setup. The warranty is nice but most people will never see half those miles on an engine like that. But if the warranty deal works for you then it is worth looking at but I would find out the details and make sure you understand the fine print. Johnny Mac appears to be a good guy so I would be comfortable dealing with him...

So if it were me I would be making 2 phone calls. Dwayne Porter would be the first since he is probably one of the most standup people I have met in a while and Carolina Machine Engines. Your "race" engine can easily be turned into a fire breather for the street on 93 octane for considerably less than the BPE price.

Whatever you decide just make sure they can be held accountable for the work/product and be firm and realistic on delivery dates. Now is a good time to make it happen before winter sets in and everyone gets swamped with work....
