The closer winter gets, the more you realize that the seasonal project is bigger than you thought. Between the body, paint, electrical, and plumbing, you’ve got enough items on your checklist to keep you busy for the next decade, nevermind the next few months. Classic Ford nuts don’t have to let the powertrain be a part of the problem, though. BluePrint Engines just launched a 408 Stroker that’ll quickly check off the biggest “to-do” item for any old-school Blue Oval.

BluePrint Engines just dropped its all-new 351-based 408 stroker. It’ll bolt right in place of your tired old Windsor, making it the perfect fit for pretty much any classic Ford project in any garage. Best of all, it’s available in a variety of configurations to let builders tweak the formula to their heart’s content.

As part of the builder series, you can order this mill in a long block or turn-key-ready package, and anything in between. That means you can set it up with the top end configuration of your choosing or let BluePrint sort the details out for you. Should you go with the latter, you will have the choice between EFI to eliminate tuning woes, or carburation to keep things simple and dead reliable. In either case, the most complete options will also come with all your accessories, making it a no-brainer for wrenchers looking to keep things simple.

Yes. These are completely street-friendly engines with a dialed 10:1 compression. As for internal hardware, you’re looking at a cast crank paired with forged pistons and rods. The cast-iron block is mated to aluminum heads, and a roller valvetrain serves as the brains of the operation.

450 Horsepower And A Warranty

Power output and price of BluePrint’s new Ford 408 package will vary depending on the configuration you opt to go with, but 450 horsepower is the rating slapped on the more complete options. That’s just right for a seriously mean street machine and even a killer truck. Best of all, these are backed by a killer warranty, cementing their place as the premier choice for many builders.
