Blue Print Engines 408 Windsor Longblock 450 HP Crate Engine

From Blue Print Engines comes the 408W Longblock Crate Engine for your swapped project or replacement for front sumped late model Ford. Setup with a new 4 bolt main engine block that is stronger than the factory 2 bolt main block. Forged rods and pistons, 10:1 compression and a mild street friendly camshaft complete this package. This engine is an ideal candidate for some performance upgrades or can be left alone for a street cruiser. This engine is setup for a front sump oiling system which came in some early model Ford vehicles, however for Fox Body swaps or other late model Fords you can easily swap to a rear sump oiling system, see kit part number below.
