I assemble my own engines but it's the parts and machine work that are now taking the time. We have a current engine that's been at the shop since March last year, still not done. I was pushing the restorations out 6 months or more because it was taking me 7-8 months just to get simple things like fenders and quarter panels. So the cars just sat waiting.
In fact last weekend at Barrett Jackson I found it to be a better idea to just buy a crate engine from Blueprint. Not only because they had 10 percent off, but they had one done and ready fresh off the dyno. A 598 that made 786hp and 772 TQ, for $10,800 I can't build it for that. I said I'll take it. Done, no wait time and came with a warranty

Went to Blueprints website is it the 598 BB? I see they are very vague on description of components used? Forged, steel, blueprint heads no flow numbers any idea what heads are on it? Definitely a good price for that much HP.
