I wondered how Blueprint dyno tests a long block? Do they bolt parts on, run it in/test it, then take the parts off? It has to be that way, right?

I forgot about asking this, ended up building a 360 myself. Thanks.

Uncle Bob, I'm really sorry that I missed this question. I wasn't tagged, and don't instantly get a notification on the BluePrint forum, so I missed the opportunity. Really sorry. To answer your question YES we literally dyno every engine that leaves with heads and an oil pan. We simply bolt on an o-ringed manifold, and run it with a dyno carb. Very easy process. If you buy a longblock, it was just ran with the dyno carb/intake/distributor. Then that equipment is removed before crating.

I think they make a batch of identical engines and dyno test 1 out of let’s say every 100 or so. They certainly don’t test everyone. @Johnny Mac

Old Kimmer, I simply missed the post. And we "Certainly do" 100% dyno test all engines. You describe our competitors well, but that's not how we do it. This video is 2 years old. We actually have 10 dyno's now. You are welcome to come take a plant tour any time.

That's great info. I'd be leary about 1 out 100, or even 1 out of 10. Theres no such thing as identical engines. I appreciate the fact that they're all dyno'd before out the door.
 
You Dyno test every long block , or every dressed engine ?

Hey guys, Every single longblock and/or complete engine. If it leaves the building with heads and an oil pan, it's been dyno'd. This is 99% of everything we build.

Longblocks (engines sold without intakes) which seem to be the main wonderment of this thread, are ran with a dyno intake/carb, and it's simply removed before shipping. We have some dedicated dyno carb/intake assemblies for the long blocks.

If a customer orders an engine with a carb/intake/distributor, it ships with THAT same intake/carb/efi/distributor it was dyno'd with.

We have plenty of videos on TV, YouTube, etc, of our dyno process, the fact we build 100 ish engines a day, dyno the longblocks, dyno the complete engines.

Hope this puts some minds at ease.

Or anyone still wondering, shoot me a message!
