Overall Assessment

Customers are generally satisfied with the product, citing its completeness and time-saving aspects as top benefits. The Blueprint Engine runs well, with impressive performance and high torque. However, some users noted discrepancies in product details like plug material and color. While it works with most transmissions, some adaptations may be required. Despite minor hiccups, customers would recommend it to others for its overall quality and usability. They especially liked its practicality in restoration projects and new builds.

Engine came 2 day's earlier got a courtesy call which was very pleasant. Blueprint Engine was complete as pictured thing's that wasn't true is Engine was stated with BRASS freeze plugs which I didn't get. Also it's a LT1 block and was told it would mate up to my 350 turbo transmission which needed spacer between bell housing. Overall all else guess you get what ya pay for.

Would Recommend
