BluePrint BP350CTF 350 Cruiser Crate Engine, Base Dressed, EFI

This engine swaps carburetion for fuel injection on BluePrint's cruiser 350, keeping the same mild cam tuned for strong vacuum and easy idle along with the 341-hp, 371-lb-ft rating. An EFI system takes the place of the carburetor used on the carbureted version of this build.

Built for the street, not the strip

Idle vacuum is strong on this tune, which is kind to power brakes, and the engine does not ask for anything beyond 87 octane fuel to run right. An aluminum intake and HEI distributor ship installed along with the EFI system, valve covers, oil pan, and timing cover.

Inside the long block

Hypereutectic pistons and 5.700-inch forged rods work a 3.480-inch stroke for 9.2:1 compression, inside a new cast iron block machined in the USA, 4.000 inches of bore with a one-piece rear main seal. BluePrint's aluminum heads are timed to 32 degrees at 3,500 rpm, under warranty protection lasting 30 months or 50,000 miles.

Q: Is a carburetor included as a backup? Confirm with us before ordering; this engine is dressed as an EFI combination.

This tier suits a builder moving a cruiser combination away from a carburetor without wanting the front accessory drive, perhaps because the donor vehicle's own alternator and power steering pump are already in good shape and worth reusing exactly as they sit.
