Brute, honest horsepower that will leave others in your rear view mirror. Our Blueprint 396 engines are produced from seasoned 350 blocks bored .040" over.

There's only one way to prove horsepower, and make sure our hand-assembled engines are perfect - run them on a performance dyno. We make sure we hit our target horsepower, verify that we have the proper torque and break the new engine in. You’ll get a chart showing these critical specs on each engine we ship. We use a computerized balancer to get our rotating assemblies within 2 grams. That assures silky smooth power over the entire RPM range. That's why our engines sound and run better than those other guys.
