Blueprint brand Engines
I was looking around Jeg's website today and noticed they had some new crate engines on their website. They are called Blueprint Engines and have a 2 year warranty. One of them claims 405 HP and comes with everything even the intake manifold; only $2899.99. They even say their dyno'd and come with the dyno sheets. Maybe I misread something, but that sounds like a deal.
Here's a link to the page. Just look under Blueprint Engines.

the two 355's listed above the 383 were $4k and $5K.. I think it may have been a typo, seemed too good to be true.

I don't think it's a typo. The more expensive motors are roller engines and they have forged parts as well.
The 385 HP one sounds like the one I might go with. I'm gonna give Jegs a call and see if when they say dyno if that means that engine has been dynoed and broken in or if an engine just like that one was dynoed and made xxx amount of HP.

Blueprint Engines have been around for a while. I remember about 5 years ago I saw an advertisement for them on like the speed channal or something and looked on their website. I was amazed at the low prices of their engines but never really thought about them again until I saw them on Jegs.

I saw their poster while I was at Napa yesterday. I am still impressed with their price after reading what goes into them.
