New Engine from BluePrint Engines!

Question: What do you do when your tired old race motor finally gives out?

Answer: You call the good guys at BluePrint Engines for a brand-new mill!

The crew at ReinCarNation Magazine follows our engine swap in our 289 USRRC Replica. The article goes through the engine swap/installation, tech bits on the costs, and how-to. BluePrint Engines has become a trusted source for Factory Five customers looking for a convenient and affordable engine/transmission package for their builds.


We used the economical Ford 306 c.i. carbureted engine producing 390 HP and 370 ft.-lb. torque from BluePrint Engines. This is a perfect horsepower match for the light 289 car.
