Blueprint Engines 408ci Mopar Motor
The real advantage of buying a crate motor is time. You don't have to spend the time to gather all the parts, assemble and machine, clean and clearance every thing. It's a real time saver even if you take it apart and check everything.
I bought a MP crate short block for my car because I had one week to get it back running before the last two points races of the season. I was in second place then so I couldn't waste time waiting for parts to arrive and then the machine shop time which would have surely been at least a month. Yes I took it apart, I needed to cut the valve reliefs anyway, so I added Milidon rod bolts, ARP main studs and balanced everything while it was apart. It's been in my car for over 6 years now with out a problem. I ordered it on Monday, got it on Tuesday, did what I needed to do and had it back in the car running by 4PM the next Saturday ready to go racing that night, then it rained. lol
