My Blueprint crate engine story - May 2018

I just checked out the blueprint engines site.

I'm sorry maybe it's just me but... they seem damn expensive for the hp you get. Every one is almost a grand or more than what it would cost me to do it myself and in the end I'll have more power, but not everyone is me.

Imo Those are for "parts changer" "weekend warrior" and retirees rekindling their "glory days". I recommend to those types as soon as you get that crate to your house... pull the heads and send them out for porting. And then after you have the numbers ...talk to a cam grinder. Now if you just built it yourself you would have done all those things to start with you wouldn't be tearing it back apart and it wouldn't cost you an extra 2 grand... because the same guy doing the valve job would be porting them hence "you would get a better deal".
oh well to each his own.
