One High-Performance Crate Engine at a Time

BluePrint Engines was started 40 years ago in a small garage in central Nebraska. What started as a passion for speed turned into a hobby, then a job, and finally a career.

Our founder, Norris Marshall, built one engine at a time for his friends and neighbors, and bit by bit his business and reputation grew. Drag racers, circle track racers, and street rodders all got some of the first engines produced by BluePrint Engines.

Most of us can relate to what happened next. Every day cars, or “grocery-getters,” were easier to sell to a LOT more people as babies, mortgages, and a need for financial security changed the way people shop. This shift pushed Norris into the mainstream and his success in that endeavor is legendary.
