What’s the Going Rate for Blueprint 3.6 4 Cylinder Engines?

I’m diving into the world of high-performance crate engines and keep coming across the Blueprint 3.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. It sounds like a solid option for my project car, but I’m running into a wall when it comes to pricing and potential setups.

A Few Questions:

  • What’s the typical price range for a Blueprint 3.6 engine?
  • Does anyone have experience with its installation? Are there specific components I should look out for?
  • Performance-wise, how does it stack up against similar engines in the market?

I’d love any insights or links to threads that might help clarify this. Thanks in advance!

The price of a Blueprint 3.6 4 cylinder engine can vary significantly based on factors like condition, mileage, and demand. Typically, you might see prices ranging from $3,000 to $5,000. It’s also worth considering current market trends which can affect pricing.

I totally agree! Factors like location can also impact prices. In urban areas, the demand might drive the cost higher compared to rural locations.

Aside from condition, don’t forget about availability. If you’re looking for specific parts or features, prices can spike! It’s always good to shop around and compare with similar engines in the market.

Exactly! I recently noticed that some sellers are pricing their engines based on recent sales, which can inflate costs. Always do your homework!

I’m curious about how the demand for these engines has shifted lately. Has anyone noticed if there’s been a trend towards more affordable alternatives?

The competition among sellers can result in fluctuating prices too. Some might try to undercut prices to gain market share, which could be beneficial for buyers!

True! However, don’t forget about quality. A cheap engine could lead to expensive repairs down the line, which is often not worth it.

I recently helped a friend buy a similar engine, and we found one for $4,200 that had very low mileage. It’s all about timing and finding a good deal when prices are down.

Can you believe some listings are asking for over $5,500? It’s almost like they think we’re made of money! But I guess condition and extras justify some of those high prices.

Haha, right? It makes you wonder if they’ll budge on those prices, or if they’re just testing the waters for potential buyers!

Every time I look at those high prices, I can’t help but chuckle. Makes me think of how we sometimes overvalue things. But if it’s a top-notch engine, then maybe it’s justified?

In the grand scheme of things, investing in a good engine can really pay off, especially if you plan to keep your vehicle for a long time. Just be patient and compare all your options!

I’ve seen prices for used Blueprint 3.6 4 cylinder engines range between $2500 to $4000 depending on condition. It’s worth checking out local dealerships first!

That’s a solid range! I found a great deal online for $2300 but the shipping was high. Has anyone had success finding local sellers?

I suggest checking out second-hand parts shops. I got mine for $3000 with a warranty, plus installation was pretty reasonable too!

That’s helpful! Were there specific shops you recommend, or are they more general places?

I used a site called AutoTrader that had listings specifically for Blueprint engines. Some sellers even offered delivery options. Definitely worth looking into!

Wow, I never thought about checking AutoTrader for engines! I’ll give that a shot. Do many places offer warranties on used engines?

Most reputable sellers do offer warranties, especially if you buy from a dealership. It’s always good to ask what kind of coverage is included.
