I had seen the BluePrint Engines building from the road before and knew it looked like a pretty big place...but once you get inside you really see how huge the place actually is. They manufacture dyno tested crate engines all the way from a factory replacement small block to an 800+ hp tall deck 632ci big block chevy! This particular video is just the factory floor and engine building process itself. There will be several more videos to come from the time I spent here including one just on the Engineering / R&D department. The amount of technology and OEM quality testing conducted within this facility is far beyond anything I had anticipated before coming here. It really blew my mind just about everywhere we went inside the building!

If you got a 302 engine out of a Lincoln LSC. You got a engine that was in the middle of all the engineering specifications. It also was a mature engine. The MKVIII engine was not that good. The 302 also would run for over 200,000 miles. Not so sure about the MKIII. The only really good thing about the current CARB specs is that engines need closer quality control to pass emissions.

Knowledgeable, competent man who actually understands everything he's describing, refreshing and rare in a world that mostly operates with smoke and mirrors! Fantastic and thorough documentary.Thank you for caring about what your doing, a culture nearly lost in this country. The fact that it's taking place in "this" country is extraordinary. American creativity, engineering and hard work are what made us great in the past, and thankfully, as demonstrated here, still exists today. This company could easily lose sight of what's important, as most others have, supporting the American worker, producing a quality product, and simply set up out of country and pay a slave labor wage, but they haven't! Awsome passion and integrity. Keep up the good work.

Sorry I know this is a older video but wanted to say how really nice it was that BluePrint Engines opened there doors to you, treated you like a VIP. You were alone, not in a huge group of people doing a factory tour. That just impresses me when a company appreciates it's customers to take time our of there day to treat everyone like this. From what I can tell, it also looks like a fantastic place to work, obviously this is just a first impression from one video, but the autonomy they give some employees means a lot.

As a machinist who spent 6 years in high volume production manufacturing I gotta say this company is next level. The thought that has gone into flow, process control and over all quality is impressive. I also like how they have a human touch where needed but also automate the processes that no one would want to do day in and day out because it would cause so much repetitive wear on our bodies. I had never heard of this company before but I will definitely be doing more research on them.

@@Stapleton42 Got it in, got 500 break-in miles on it and it's a beast. Considering the unoriginal 350 in it was 155 hp and wouldn't pull a sick whore off a toilet seat, 395hp is a no-brainer. 395hp, 424tq, with a dyno sheet and 16 weeks lead time, to my shop door for 4k. Couldn't rebuild the old pig for that much and no aluminum heads or roller cam. Your video is the exact reason I bought it. Had to use the factory intake, carb and exhaust for an original appearance, but it's still gotta be around 350 hp. For any restorations which don't require a numbers matching engine, I'll use them every time. Keep up the awesome videos. Thanks for keeping the Sr. vibe alive...we can't let his memory fade away.

Hell, how things have changed. Many years ago back in the early seventies I used to blue print mini and Mini Cooper engines. My treasured tools were my torque wrench’s and micrometers, honing bits and bearing scrapers, feeler gauges and engineering blue. I used to fit them hepolite racing pistons and two duplex Timing chains, high lift 374 cam shafts skimmed cylinder heads fitted with inlet and exhaust valves from a 350 small block head. High pressure oil pumps and a crank shaft that was treated with liquid nitrogen after heating, and Webber carburettors. My, how things have changed over the news.

@@se7845 If businesses move to china to make a better profit & bring a cheaper product to market, the customer has a choice between local/import at different price points. The problem starts when everyone decides to buy the cheap version. Anybody who 'knows quality' is happy to pay for USA built. Timken Bearings are a great example. They have opened 6 operations in China & closed as many in the USA. I recently found Timken IRS wheel bearings which were made in China but had 'designed in usa' printed on the packaging. The price was double that of the Japan made NTN Bearings I ended up buying for $50 USD. Sad times indeed.

It’s so interesting b/c he explains how years ago men had to know how to build an entire engine. They were highly skilled and knowledgeable. Employees like that r expensive and difficult to replace. Nowadays “breaking it up” as he describes mean all they have to do is train a person off the street a few steps in the process. Much cheaper and much more easily replaceable employee.

I saw how long the video was and thought, no way I'm gonna last through it all the way. Boy was I wrong! Great job to all parties involved super informative, well curated and I enjoyed watching all of it. It also makes me regret my current engine dilemma that I'm in for my boat. Blueprint makes a 632ci marine engine that would work perfectly for my current application as I have two 540ci motors that are in the process of repowering from 650hp up to 820hp each and the process has been slow with the engine builder when I could have just put these motors to the side and purchased two brand new 632s to take the place. Definitely something I'm going to look at in the future! Great video, great production totally subscribing now thanks!

I own a chassis dyno shop Where all the work we do is custom,I have been building motors for 45 yrs I cant begin to tell you how many times I have had machine work done incorrectly and/or defective or incorrect parts delivered causing delays WE have to triple check everything outsourced with no exceptions the amount of time and money lost having to all this to maintain the qaulity of work we are known for I never really thought much about using someones crate motors until i saw this video ,I will be contacting them this week to power our next build I am truly impressed Thank you for posting this

First things first. To me it sounded like y'all were walking into the foundry for 'Terminator'. The hydraulics, the pneumatics, compressors, engines, jacks, drills, honing squeals, clinking and clanking. I thought Ninja better look out for the Terminator. That was an incredible tour!! What a great operation. That owner, floor manager, supervisor was a great guy with a lot of good knowledge. I am going to go back and watch it again, a few times!!

Had a buddy...gone now for some years...who had a Blue Print engine in his Ford pickup with a stick on the floor. I borrowed it a few times and it was one sweet machine. The truck itself was nothing special..dull paint, etc...but that power train was awesome. Always wondered how/what Blue Print was about...thanks for this video.

All's I can say is WOW! I build large engines for a major manufacturing company but they aren't daily drivers. I could only dream about 800+hp. I did kinda want to see a little bit more time spent on valve lash and how technicians set their valve lash. Is it a manual process using a go-no-go on every head? Every engine?

This video popped up in my recommendations, so I got curious. This is one heck of a manufacturing business, a real eye opener. I am in no way a petrol head, but this place is impressive in the way that they are sensibly integrating the best technologies to improve the production process for quality assurance while at the same time making things as simple and easy as possible for their people. They have an enthusiastic knowledgeable staff and that is very important for management and workers work satisfaction. Mark from Melbourne Australia

I wonder, are these engines built under license to the three major American auto companies? This could be a potential lawsuit. Ford sued a KZbinr for building a replica of an early Mustang, that's ridiculous and Ford caught a lot of flack as a result. At the same time, this is a WHOLE engine, they must have a license. I guess it helps sales of original vehicles if there is an aftermarket. Great video!
