How to Build & Modify Chevrolet Big Block V-8 Engines (Motorbooks Powertech Series)

Rating:
Summary: Maybe not that good...
Review: I'll offer a dissenting opinion. I didn't find the information in the book to be all that informative. There's little if anything different from what the manufacturers claim in their literature. Some of the sections seemed to be direct quotes from the manufacturers. Too brief, too many short blurbs. For me, it didn't help to distinguish between the wheat and the chaff in the aftermarket.

Summary: Lot of Tips
Review: This book contains lot of recommendations during engine building. Only somebody with enough experience could write it. Don't miss it!

Summary: Excellent book with good mix of detail and media
Review: Tom Currao put together an excellent book! I found each page to be exciting and filled with relevant detail. I was also able to identify with Tom's book because I also use the Mr. Gasket Desktop Dyno application for "figuring" out engine combinations. A handy list of suppliers is provided as is also an index. I feel that Tom's book has the best opportunity to become the defacto standard for replacing the now dated How to HOTROD Big-block CHEVYS book. I think that the book will be of special appeal to "grassroots" racers like me who need to be budget conscious while trying to go as fast as possible.
