Visiting Our Friends at BluePrint Engines! The Factory Has Changed A LOT SINCE 2021! 

Thank you Benny!

im sad because the transmission mine is hooked up to cracked

Have you seen the Rottler video on the main channel yet?

thats epic lol

NFN but isn't that what Stanley said about the steam engines. There are not many Jay Lenos collecting steam cars. Never say never.

Thanks for watching!

I can't wait! 😋

thanks man!

awesome!!

Awesome thank you!

If You search a little, You will locate some basic information, as appeared for me too. a. Blue Print produces this 3.6 L 4 cylinder engine for industrial applications via their Origin Division b. B.P. also claims they have GM/LS, Ford heads compatible with this engine c. cast iron block - rather large, with high power/torque -> 3.6 L = 219.685 c.i. -> perhaps 220 c.i. actually -> typical in larger V-6 engines, some smaller V-8 engines d. Origin emanates from Mercruiser, thus also marine applications are seemingly among the uses, perhaps currently. e. no mention of others or other improvements as OHC, Hemi, smaller sizes, aluminum blocks

I was talking about their version of the Ford engine and transmission setup.

Yes it would for sure

They are keeping prices down just doing what they have to do to stay afloat in this economy.

Do You promote ethanol, methanol, hydrogen fuel use with internal combustion too ?

@@newtonfirefly3584 combust it all

I used to drive by the facility in Kearney every day.

thanks man!

Another foundry. Like most companies who don’t own their own foundry. Edelbrock and Brodix have their own and that’s all I know of

I believe that is coming. You can now buy bare blocks from them in some cases

It can be ordered if you call them but its not on the website

yes sir! worldwide

thank you sir! the 632 is a worthy replacement lol

@@stapleton42extra not sure how it would do with the stock allison. But nice thought.

I think different ones come from different foundries

@@stapleton42extra Exactly Mitchell & Logan. @matthewnosal; @matthewnosal6893; That is what Josh Saldivar actually answered with to Mitchell & Logan, knowing he is recorded and will be posted on their channel again. A. There are several foundries in which the engine blocks they purchase, perhaps have contracts with to manufacture, produce for the Blue Print brand engines. B. Josh also stated within his response not all of their engine blocks are cast, manufactured, produced within the USA - apparently at least one foundry is in Mexico C. The point which Matthew stated is about the hesitation within the response, reply, answer from Josh; Thus => 1. why ? what reason, basis, etc. 2. clearly. obviously, explicitly from the information stated, Blue Print uses engine blocks cast, manufactured, produced from foundries within the USA and outside 3. The hesitation in the response indicates he is aware the answer is not completely acceptable, desirable for, with all of their current and potential customers 4. Also the 'supply chain' reply, which is a revealed common falsehood, was used within that response; probably directed by management 5. It appears from the reply, Blue Print is involved in developing other means to cast, manufacture, produce engine blocks, perhaps components, maybe such all foundries they contract or purchase from are within the USA too. 6. Please remember that his man is an employee with specific managerial position, function within the production, assembly team, floor operation; a. he also has access to and knows more information than he states b. is directed what he is permitted to state to the public along with some limited knowledge too c. certainly the corporate executives, managers and others do not share all of the information, nor is all available to everyone either. d. also other departments including the purchasing department which certainly have explicit information of the foundries and details have restrictions, limitation with conveying some information too. e. hopefully, if a customer or potential customer requests this specific information this will be told and not just in these general terms -1. example: personally contacted the CS and techinical with some details about the locations of the manufacture of their electronics; initially the person replied with a general statement of several countries; further questions, requests with specific components revealed which are manufactured in which country -2. this availability of information is not always conveyed, allowed, or available either. -3. often through person searching have located the suppliers, partners, corporations which parts, components, etc. are purchased and their various manufacturing facilities, locations of each. -4. many may not be aware, but all US MIL-STD requires every part, component, detail, aspect be manufactured, developed including all physical pieces, electronics, S/W, F/W, within the USA along with sustainability, security, continued production the many other requirements within the MIL-STD -5. The US Military contracts also required these manufactures to abide to, with the US Gov't with no producing, selling their MIL-STD parts, components, etc. to any country, manufacture except within the MIL-STD and when permitted, to specified allies as within NATO and those which the equipment are sold, but limited to the specifics, replacements of those which the USA Gov't sold -6. As with the F-14,-15,-16, -35 [not a F-22 and others], the specific versions sold are not exactly the same, especially the electronics, control systems updates, somethime specific engines too. -7. this is how the USA managed to stop the Israeli Lavi development, primarily production [a successful 'prototype' aircraft was developed, exists (Israeli development, engineers, scientists are extensive, but industrial manufacturing, production has not developed - they continue to developed advanced technology, ideas, devices, components, S/W, F/W - their developments are then produced within other countries - they developed the first 'drone' for necessity during the 1973 War to trigger the Russian SAM in Syria&Lebanon to fire, empty, then during reload successfully bombed, destroyed them; eventually developing smaller, remote flying 'drones' also in cooperation with the US Military - apparently still ongoing], though initially allowed them to have access to the companies, corporations, manufactures -8. as an opposite, when the first MIG fighter and second, fully operational were attained by the US Military in the mid-1980's, at least much of the electronics communications, control, weapons systems contained common MIL-STD [radiation hardened -(opposite to the false premise in JB-"Goldeneye")] electronics (no custom electronics mentioned) -a. how were these MID-STD electronics devices, components sold, distributed, arrive in Soviet-Russia and with enough quantity to be within every MIG fighter ?! -b. how and why was this information conveyed, 'leaked' by the US Gov't Military, Intelligence ?! -c. my personal awareness came through, within the US Gov't contractor which employed me during that period; no 'classified' information channels -d. the company, corporation, contractor which employed me, did not develop such electronics for US Military, then, though was involved in the B-2 communications, Radar 'stealth', control S/W, F/W ( not me personally, but some co-workers; specific department of my employment 1988-9(post major layoffs, project cancellation spring 1988), shifted in 1990 to a department more appropriate for my expertise, experience) -e, there is much more non-classified, public information most to the vast majority are unaware, ignorant of and ignore too. All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest(s), Health, Happiness and Well Being 😊, Sincerely ☺

Ask them not me lol

@@stapleton42extra didn’t mean u sorry I was asking in general if anyone knew why

So You must have located these 3.6 L, 4 cylinder engines are produced within B.P.-Origin Division for industrial applications ->also Origin emanates from Mercruiser ->thus seemingly marine applications -> also B.P, has both GM/LS & Ford heads mated with this engine -> any other details You have located about the single turbo, other modifications as EFI, OHC, aluminum block, Hemi Heads, 16 V [4 V/cyl], VVT, smaller displacements, size ? ->smaller size/displacements, EFI, VVT, OHC, 16 V, Hemi, aluminum block these become excellent for many racing applications, engine swaps, custom vehicle builds, etc., along with Flex-fuel, ethanol, methanol, hydrogen uses. Sincerely

its a long ways off still

They have a mild but powerful 350 they market as the cruiser engine i love it!

They do production in batches

@@stapleton42extra So are u saying the 400 block is available by it self ??

I just had an LS engine built from a used block by a local place. Supplying my own parts it cost $6100 just for machining and assembly. BluePrint is a heck of a good value

not this time!

The industrial side has more volume than the performance aftermarket

Plus if I'm not mistaken didn't you touch on how they originally got started in the first video

they are extremely diligent about this

@@stapleton42extra you have too , otherwise everything washes down the pipeline

Be nice if all the manufacturers kept it 🇺🇸

If we had DJT still in office we might still have foundries here in 🇺🇸

I know trumbull foundry in ohio casts blocks. I suspect Dakota foundry in south dakota can as well. I think there is a CGI casting facility in Columbus Indiana. So still a few places that can do the work. I suspect they just need a long term commitment to be able to invest and add a bunch of production to make it happen. I would love to see it. 🙂

Pretty sure the 632 blocks came from indiana. Problem is being able to get the supply they need when they need it. The recent years have really screwed up a lot of remaining stateside foundries

@@philipmazzuca2269 Phillip Mazzuca, clearly You have incorrect, distorted, false based claims, ideas, views from all of the false media 'politics', 'politicians', political parties' -> clearly the SAD state with people, humans, individuals within the USA and nearly every land, country worldwide A. The US President has NO affect, influence, power, authority, jurisdiction within any business in the USA or any other land, country worldwide 1. unless the US President, VP are directly violating the Laws of the US Constitution, or involved in illegal, unlawful, invalid business dealings including within his family as the evidence shows JRB,Jr & Family have been involved with in Ukraine [Burisma], CCP-China, etc. 2. Also the government within US Federal, State, County, City, Local have NO Authority, Power, Jurisdiction, direction,, dictation, control over any private business, manufacturing, etc. 3. business exists, depends upon, for the purpose of, with profit via providing products, services for the needs of others. B. In a land, country which has a very extreme Authoritarian Government, single authoritarian leader, head as in "Communist/ISM", sometimes within "Socialist/ISM". "Fascist/ISM" [as in Italy with Mussolini, in Spain then too], the Head may direct, dictate, possibly control the development, manufacturing with Gov't owned operations and within "Fascist/ISM" also the privately owned per the country needs. C. When the government mettles, gets involved with, directing, dictating, controlling, providing incentives, benefits, etc. for, with, within business, manufacturing, development, etc. this always leads to significant issues, problems, disaster, as with monetary, financial, food, beverages, air, water, land, housing, building, education, medical, health, media, communication, transportation, environment, society, people, energy, every aspect within life, existence in this physical world. D. How does it make any financial, monetary sense [cents & dollars] for a metal foundry, cating to exist within another land, country which still has to get its raw materials including iron, steel, aluminum as the USA, transport the raw materials, produce the casts, then transport them back ? 1. Clearly there is is some other purpose, intents, direction, dictation, control, perhaps subsidy, finances from others which results in this 2. the mention by this manager of a recent common 'supply chain' is clearly some false claim by those directing, just as all of these claimed 'supply chain' issues 3. GM, Ford, etc. claims about 'microchip' supply issues werre, are completely false. NO single nor combined electronics, IC manufacture worldwide had any materials, supply issues, nor manufacturing reduction, especially SMIC in Taiwan, Samsung in Korea, Intel [worldwide - USA, Israel, etc.] - clearly they stated these false claims for other actual basis, reasons, purpose, intents a. -> note: no single electronics device producer, manufacture, seller with any consumer, industrial, military equipment, devices claimed any such 'supply issue', lacking, difficulty including computers of all types, forms, within communications, tablets, phones, routers, networks, etc. b. -> actually they all continued to increase manufacturing, supply, availability, sales, new 'generations', new devices, etc. c. any, all 'fuel supply' issues and price increases, have always been false claims portrayals, narratives as in 1973, 1978 with reported significant profit increases during those periods, as again 2021-present. All The Best, Sincerely

yeah whatever dude

I'm just going to say this I'm not sure what your experience is but I have three friends who have purchased engines from them for different reasons one as a replacement for the original ls in his wife's car another to replace his blown out 350 in his dump truck over a hundred thousand miles on it and the other used that builder series for a swap in a 76 or 77 six cylinder chevy nova outside of one having a issue with paint peeling off when it was un boxed and a cracked connector in the wiring harness of one they have had no issues but if you can give some proof of your claims I would deeply appreciate any information of the sort as I'm looking at purchasing one to put on my roadster shop spec chassis 2nd camaro project lol this will be my first build since the 80s 😊
