ATK 5.9 Magnum crate motor horse power

Blueprint does offer a flat tappet iron head motor already as the entry level. I think they would say the cost difference between a stock 360 stroke (3.58") and the 408 stroker crank (4") is quite small now days, so why not take the cubes? It doesn't cost that much and most people would happily pay the small difference for 13% more displacement.
Thats pretty spot on. we aren't a reman company, we're a performance engine manufacturer. So we don't reman cranks, other than on a few low end fords and 350's. There's always a way to do something cheaper. Way of the world is we have to sell more of the current offerings to show the viability of exploring others. And engine combo's that are more labor intensive, with less profit margin, doesn't help me move that needle.
