Thread: Need help getting a new engine

Tweet

The 2 engines are pretty much a toss up as far as specs go. You will have so much more power with either one that I doubt you could tell the difference. The cam in the ATK will probably have a slightly broader power band due to the wider lobe seperation, but there again, it's really not going to matter that much. I like the higher compression on the Blueprint engine.

If the warranties are close, I would go with the most complete engine. On ATK's website, they go into a little better detail about what is actually used to build the engine.

The ATK will save you from having to source the correct parts to complete the install and will help eliminate hassles if something goes wrong. For instance, if the intake leaks, it's on ATK. They can't say you installed it wrong. Same with the distributor.

Both companies are "name brands", but that just means they advertise. Doesn't mean anything about quality. I personally have never had any dealings with either one.

Denny pretty much answered your question. I actually had this reply typed up earlier, but forgot to post it until I came in for lunch.
