mopar crate engine
I agree parts can fail but if you are building a motor for a magazine that YOU know is doing an article on it wouldn't you think you'd have all you I's dotted and T's crossed? I mean that is a major publication in the Mopar world and they are a shop in it's infancy so they need all the good press they can get. If I was building motors for a living I personally would at least fire up and run or break in a motor before it left my shop to make sure everything was okay...I understand you are gonna have some tuning to do but that's just sloppiness IMO. Anyhoo.....back to the subject at hand......I have seen the ads for Blueprint Engines and I think even Summit and/or Jegs are carrying them now as well and if they offer a warranty like that was stated I don't think you can go wrong there. I usually build my own engines but the way costs are getting I am really thinking of having MRL Performance build my next 318 whether it be a stock stroke nitrous motor or a 390ci 318 stroker......either way i can have a fully professionally built motor for less than what I can do it myself.
