408 Stroker Short Block Details: Blueprint Engines

I used to be into Corvettes. When I was stationed in Arkansas in 1987, I restored a 65 Roadster. It had a 350. I went to a local engine rebuilder and looked through a stack of rebuilt 327s. I found a correct year 327 with the correct casting number (3782870). They sold it to me for a reasonable price. While I was there, he told me about their operation. They did mass rebuild engines, but he said their quality was top notch. He said his guys were all highly skilled, and they used state of the art machines. The engine was excellent. If you think about it, new Dodge Challengers are Mass Produced on an assembly line. That doesn't make them bad.
