BluePrint Engines Factory Full Tour & Behind The Scenes: How Does a Crate Engine Get Made?

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.

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.

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.

Ditch oil n filter now. Did it to my 2016 xr6 sprint at same miles and i was surprised at the silvery tinge to the oil that came out. No doubt the reminisce of the initial break in of new parts from the factory. Has had regular clean oil changes and no dramas since.

This was great! A great founder, a great plant manager, with great employees making a great product. At the end well what a lucky man he is! 😎

This is fantastic - real engineering, attention to detail, so great to see. As the world moves to electric, classic cars are going to need to be kept running and this is a great service.

Electric Car SUCK ,after 6 months the battery charge much like your cell phone Dosen't have the longevity and power starts to fall , this is what happened to me when we bought a Tesla, just a warning to all out there thinking about getting a Electric car. Good luck !

What a well run shop, wow! One of the absolute best engine building docs I've seen yet. To be able to work there would be a God send.

For real! You can apply on their website lol

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.

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

Very interesting process. Love the ring installation process. I have done rings manually, and always are concerned about breakage.

Excellent to see American manufacturing and see these out in hot rods and other vehicles making some impressive power not braking the bank

@alanphillips4431 3 года назад

The last engine I dynoed was 1.1 GW but wasn’t nearly as exciting as that big block. Usually the most innovative engineering takes place on bar napkins. I miss those days.

Best factory tour I’ve ever seen, a big up to the tour guide he made it very informative 👏👏👏

It is so awesome to see this. I have bought 2 Blueprint engines and they are FANASTIC engines - so happy with them and it was great to see how they were built and the amount of quality and checks that took place before they go to me. Thank you for the video and thank you Blueprint for putting out such quality products in the United States!!

Economy of scale. When building a motor, I get into a Zen-like state. There's a personal connection when building one for yourself. The guys all seem to have a lot of well-deserved pride to build motors for their customers.
