Bought a blueprint at 350 from summit racing put it in the truck within a few miles the rear main seal was leaking called the warranty department they were fantastic to deal with but said that I have to fix it and they would send the parts which they did for the truck apart fix the leaking rear main now we're all good wrong engine developed a squeaking noise that sounds like a bad belt and also vibration at 1700 to 2000 RPM after doing more investigating the noise was coming from the motor called the warranty company again they were fantastic said it's the rocker arms will send you new ones replaced all the rocker arms took away the squeak still have the vibration in the engine was told by blueprint that that is probably the cam not sure if I believe it but I still have a lot of warranty left so I'm going to run the engine and when something happens it happens again dealing with blueprint and the warranty company have been fantastic but I am very disappointed in spending all this money on a new engine and having to rebuild or replace half of the parts with under 200 miles on the engine and no compensation for my time and labor that is why I'm giving them three stars plus I don't feel brand new engine should have a vibration in it but I'm just very disappointed in the way things were handled as far as my time and labor I feel that when you pay this much money for an engine you should not have to do anything just disappointed and not getting compensated for all this extra work that should have not happened who knows maybe the owner of the company may get in touch with me after reading this review

I purchased a Blueprint engine through Summit racing. The cost was less than buying a built motor here in Edmonton, even with the shipping included. The engine was shipped to Canada within a couple of weeks. After I installed and started the engine there was a vibration. Working with one of the techs by phone I performed a number of tests and we determined it was probably the flywheel I had installed. He sent me a FEDEX sticker so I could send the part from Alberta to Nebraska to have it rebalanced. This is the kind of service was excellent, especially since the flywheel was purchased from another vendor. The tech said that it was their motor and they stood behind it. The motor is now running perfectly.

I bought the Blueprint 396 stroker for my 71 Camaro. Came crated nice no issues there. Got it installed and fired right up. The only issue I had was it ran really rich. Changed some jets and power valves and it's good. Tech support at BP was helpful with both install and carb turning. I would recommend BP engines to anyone.

Awesome company that builds great engines! I replaced a Mexico built GM 350 with one of their performance 350s. Sounds good and makes loads of power! Customer service is awesome and helped me take care of a small issue with the motor after walking me through in depth diagnostics. I recommend them to anyone!

Bought a 383 stroker engine from Summit Racing and had the engine professionally installed in my 1970 Nova SS Show car. This engine had been serviced every 2500 miles. I have driven this car to many car shows in the past 26 months. Last month i dove the car down to get it ready for storsge . Got home opened the hood and had massive blow by. Called the shop where i had the engine installed. We have found a piece of the piston was broke off. There warranty on these engines are a joke. This piston broke from a poor casting issue. Found chunks of the piston in the pan and who knows where else it ended up. stay clear of these engines or you will end up having a boat anchor in your garge too.

After researching the best crate engines I decided to go with BluePrint Engines. I had called to ask some questions and ended up talking with Trevor who was very helpful and talked me through the different choices, options, configurations, etc...I was hesitant to pull the trigger on the phone as it was a large purchase. I later went back to the website and was going to purchase online and had referenced talking with Trevor. I didn't complete my purchase(can't remember why) but received a call from Trevor the next day inquiring about my unfinished shopping cart. I thought that was great customer service/follow up. He helped me complete the transaction over the phone. Trevor Pennock was extremely helpful and answered all my follow up questions regarding additional bolt on items that I was planning to add locally. Excited to get the engine in the truck - but so far the customer service from BluePrint Engines has been excellent.

I purchased a BluePrint engine several years ago and I've always had trouble with my 302 for a 1967 For Mustang. The engine has problems maintaining valve pressure. My automotive technician looking at these engine issues says the valves are tight and BluePrint customer service is their to talk but they won't solve the problem that they created. So I'll probably need to buy an entire different engine. Another $4k down the drain.

My 302 (300 hp) engine arrived in a well constructed box, easy access. I did struggle with lift placement so the feet slid into the crate. After installing many of the accessory items (pulleys, sensors, carb filter-etc) it went in the car easily.I did have to reset the timing, which was quite a surprise since the engine was dyno tested and then crated. They do caution you to do so in the instructions.After that it got installed and fired right up. A few adjustments and it idled nice. Looking forward to many enjoyable miles.

The staff at BluePrint Engines are great.By mistake I was shipped the wrong motor. They paid to pick that motor up and expedited the correct motor to me.Fired the motor up last night and runs like a champ. Would differently recommend BluePrint Engines to anyone looking for a quality product at a quality price with great people backing up that product.Excellent job BluePrint. You have earned a life long customer with me!!!

I ordered a 383CI Stroker engine from Trevor last Monday June 20th. Since I'm a Car Guy, but not a Gear Head. I had lot's of questions and I know some where a little weak. But Trevor was extremely patient and answered everyone. I asked Trevor if BluePrint sold Headers. They don't, but he recommended that I call Sanderson for Headers. They were also very nice and I really appreciate his help with that also. I don't know if I've ever bought something for +$6k with someone on the phone that I've never met. I can't imagine how the phone call could have gone better.Trevor was absolutely AWESOME.Steve Weber, Independence, MO

I had a great experience with Blue Print Engines. The service is great in these times with shortage on parts and worker these guys came through. If the service is a reflection of the care these guys have I should never have any trouble with this engine. I will be purchasing another engine from these guys. I will be sharing my good fortune with everyone I know. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. Ron Wombold. ??

I was referred by a friend who had purchased engines from Blueprint in the past. After some research I gave them a call for a little more engine specific information.. I spoke with Trevor Pennock and he was GREAT! He went over some different engine builds, what gas needs to be used, oils, warranties, engine mounts, and more.. The amount of time he took to answer my questions and his knowledge on their engines gave me enough confidence to order the 302 today.1. The price is great as I had a quote from a local builder to rebuild my 351c for over 12k which did not provide me much more than what I could get for around 8k through them! (I chose the 302 as my son will be driving the car and didn’t want that kind of power)2. Then they put in my zip code and they didn’t have to charge sales tax! Almost $500 saving versus ordering through resellers of the SAME ENGINE!!!3. Then because I’m a veteran, they covered the shipping! ANOTHER $200 savings!Try to find another company that does that these days! Trevor went out of his way to save me money and provide me with an exceptional product.Thanks for time an info, and all reviews have said your support and sales are outstanding, and Trevor definitely delivered! I’d recommend them to others as they where recommended to me..

I ordered a 500+ horsepower 400SBC from BluePrint Engines and was having some issues keeping it cool in my street legal 2006 Nascar Stockcar. I spoke with Josh Geiselman on the Blue Print Technical Support Team and he went above and beyond with pointing me in the right direction. He even drew out diagrams on what I needed to do to get everything running and cooling properly. I cant say thank you enough! Blue Print Engines and Customer Service are second to none!
