    Engine is shipping!

    Got my shipment notification from Blueprint Engines today, as well as my dyno report. Seems to be an extremely flat curve for both the torque and HP.

    494.6HP @ 5800
    490.3TQ @ 4700

    Wish I didn't have this whole project in front of me because that's a lot of work before I get to enjoy this beast!

    I have heard it said that men are destination oriented and women are journey oriented. My experience was that the build was just as satisfying as the completion. Take your time and enjoy the journey, you will look back on it with pride.

    Congrats!!

    My Blueprint 427 is in and will likely be first start tomorrow morning.

    I went carb and have about the same numbers. 501 hp and 493 lb-ft of torque.

    It's a beautiful engine and when you pop the top off that crate the smile will be ear to ear!

    You will be a happy guy. Blueprint gives great service after the sale. I got the Holley Sniper EFI and had several questions and they were right there.

    Congratulations on the great dyno numbers; I think you will be buying lots of rear tires!

    I will add my voice to the BluePrint is awesome chorus. Great products, great service, and super people to help you!

    Good luck as you move forward, and enjoy the process. I think you will find it rewarding and satisfying!

    Regards,

    Steve
