Subscribed. I am in the process of looking at this engine, but now I'm not so sure. Have been considering BP3833CTC1, which is the 383 fully dressed version with roller cam.

It was running fine when I last saw the truck.

This Is Not the 1st time I heard this story . Neighbor bought a 383 from them , I visited just after he fired it the 1st time . Then the oil got milky overnight .

Pulled it back out and had the same argument , Finally shipped it back and they sent another . Same thing . Hauled the 2cd to the plant from Kansas City . They refused a cash refund . He left Nebraska with a 3rd engine which went on craigslist with zero warranty .Truck was sold shortly after that . Poor guy had all he could stand .

I cringe every time I hear some one say Blueprint Engines , Then tell about them Shaun's ordeal

I build my own engines. I had a rebuild from a local reputable guy that was also known at the drag strip for having real fast rides. He built engines for all the fast guys in town. Fired up my "new" engine and it had no oil pressure. Long story but it had no oil pump drive. Thought I just got lucky stabbing the distributor. I went to the shop to tell him what happened and as he was building an engine in front of me I told him to look down as he was arguing with me and he did it again on the engine right in front of me.

Maybe BluePrint engines has changed there policy since your bad experience. I had an issue with a motor and they immediately send me a new motor even though I was the 2nd owner of the motor. They stood behind the warranty and sent me a new engine and added additional parts at no cost. Very happy.
