tux Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Probably won't be economical, but this would be a cool motor swap if they release it https://www.autoblog.com/2022/12/20/blueprint-engines-performance-racing-inndustry-show/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB94 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Or drop a 2.3 eco boost for 1/6 the price. That was my first engine Choice but the 5.0 sound won over sticking 4cyl turbo. Simple tune and 400hp 450tq. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860QuestTuner Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I saw the Hotrod article about it with the LS head , seems pretty cool with the iron block and all the potential with the different LS head options. With turbos and different stroke options this could be a great swap for cars and trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCuda Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Its interesting, Blueprint is a solid company and I am sure they would run great. I am curious what it will cost, it sounds like it is made from existing items they offer so it may not be as bad as you would think. Personally if I were to swap one of these cars it would be with a LS or Gen III Hemi. Ideally a Gen III but I think the LS would be easier and I am not a GM guy at all but they are good motors as much as I hate to say it lol.

tux Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 i don't have the skills, time, or money for a swap of any sort. But if it comes out, it's a cool option for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsolete Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 3.6L 4-cylinder with no balance shafts? That'll be a low-revving paint-shaker. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing after seeing 350hp/500tq numbers. Once they do some forced induction dyno runs I'll be watching. Maybe we will be surprised. It would be a nice option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCuda Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 David Freiburger who does Engine Masters on Motor Trend has already asked blueprint if they can dyno one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Cary Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 Just get a 3.6 V6 from a Camaro. Easy swap. Light weight and makes about 300-350hp out of the box. Plus more room to work on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCuda Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 This engine will be much easier to run from an engine management point. This 3.6 could be run from a carb, throttle body, or port injection. I see your point though. The 3.6L Chrysler Pentastar crossed my mind for a swap before. My Wife's 2015 Grand Cherokee with this engine ran a 15.75(4900lbs) a few weeks back when I made her take it down the track lol. That engine is probably no heavier than the G54B and you can mate them to a manual trans using stuff from a wrangler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
