Opinions on Blueprint Crate R/B 493/440

Johnny Mac said

BluePrint engines are all very streetable combinations. The 493 is very popular for us. I'm honestly surprised we haven't run the country into a RB core shortage with as many as we move. Great cruiser engine with plenty of grunt. Would love to answer any questions you have. Feel free to PM me any time

In the past, I spent 1 year reading dozens upon dozens of articles regarding previous management and the problems people were having with the small block Mopar engines and warranty denials. People posted their email correspondence so on and so forth. I was able to find a NOS crate engine and ultimately turned away from Blueprint given what I read and witnessed.

That said, it seems to me things have turned around. How about posting some Youtube videos of the small block Mopar engines you are building or dyno videos of completed engines. All I ever heard was Blueprint was awesome for Chevy engines and not so much for Mopars. Its hard to unhear or unsee people who say they found BPE with shavings, wiped out cams, bearing material in the pan as well as other issues. Several people wrote their claims and there motors were denied warranty due to "operator error" every single time.

Seeing is believing. Do you want a Mopar crowd? Post some videos and follow up them after installation to report the satisfaction of the build and reliability. I do not need a motor yet, but need some convincing for myself to buy one in the future.
