Need a Small Block Ford Crate Engine? BluePrint Engines Has It

Want a small block Ford crate engine to drop in your Mustang, Bronco, classic Ford truck, or other Blue Oval ride? Get ready to start wrenching—BluePrint Engines has more than 80 versions of small block-compatible Ford engines and Builders Series engine/transmission combos to choose from.

Available in 302, 347, 408, and 427 cubic inch displacements, each long block engine is based on a brand-new BluePrint cast iron block with 4-bolt mains and one-piece rear main seal. They also have a new cast crankshaft and connecting rods; hypereutectic pistons; aluminum cylinder heads; and a hydraulic roller camshaft.

Each BluePrint crate engine comes with a dyno test sheet showing how much power the engine makes (a service some other crate engine builders charge extra for) and are covered by a 30-month/50,000-mile limited warranty.
