I found this via a google search on "balanced and blueprinted". Click link below."So, the next time someone says, “I have a balanced and blueprinted engine”, smile and say, “So do I. From the factory.”."
Follow Ups:
Manufacturing tolerances today are very, very close. Back in the "day" they weren't and "blueprinting" involved completely disassembling an engine, balancing it and bringing all tolerances up to spec.

...so now we can push the tolerances more, which would be better, I suppose.
You could say all engines are “balanced” and “blueprinted” but to an auto enthusiast it refers to an engine that is built well beyond your typical grocery getter engine (factory standards).If I was to equate “blueprinted” to audio it would mean that all the components used would have very close tolerances and matched where required. But in high end audio this should be a given. JMO
