Anyone have any dealings with blueprint engines dot com?
My son bought a crate engine for his 75 vette. Been having problem after problem, now they won`t replace engine and say they won`t pay mechanic to do the "repairs" the authorized.
Thanks

A quick google search revealed mostly positive and a few negative reviews.
Yep
He said they been "helpful" to a degree, but they have had them tear down engine 2 times so far to "fix" the problem. Not fixed..... Today he got another guy there on phone who said they won`t pay mechanic now. I told him to get a replacement engine before the 2nd tear down.. He got this done a short while ago so he could have it for summer/show season and it looks like it`ll be laid up all summer.
I`m about ready to do to them what I did to $VW$ (my audi s5 cab) when they pulled the same crap.

Really sorry to hear. I hope they make it right. I can`t imagine having to deal with that after buying a NEW motor.

May I ask what the problem happens to be? Small block Chevy doesn`t take a scientist to build or blueprint.
A society willing to trade liberty for temporary security deserves neither and will lose both

A knock in a new motor, and having to tear it down twice? That`s not right. How far did they have to tear it down? Are the heads off of it yet? Is the oil pan off of it? Could be a bearing cap somewhere in the rotating assy didn`t get torqued or something along those lines. If that`s the case and a rod or main journal is now out of shape, that knock isnt going anywhere.

They keep saying maybe it`s this, so do this.
Ok, that didn`t work try this........... on and on
well we can send ya parts, replace those and see if it works.
or tear out the engine, send it to us, we`ll rebuild it, and send it back, then put it back in car again. oh yeah too bad ya can`t use the car till it gets back, oh yeah, gotta go thru breaking in engine etc
more time
more $$$
more headache

Not fun. Hopefully it gets resolved. Might be at a cut your losses point, take the motor to a machine shop, have it gone through and just have whatever is wrong fixed. Does this place warranty the motors at all? Who actually builds their motors? For the new motors do you get to pick and choose your parts? Like, I want a Dart Little M block decked at this height, with these pistons, rods, crank etc... Or are they sold pre-built?
Not really sure, but their reviews are very hit and miss (sorta like their engines I guess) but I am giving them the chance to make it right. If it doesn`t get resolved VERY soon, it`ll make my audi blitz seem like minor league.
Some of the older members should remember my $VW$
This is my kid they are screwing with I got lots of time to return the favor.
