Picking the correct parts for your next high horsepower LS build.
My engine experience has only been with SBC and now I am finally wanting to learn about the LS generation of engines. I have been reading a little each morning before I head out to work and this book has given me the information on how to spot Gen III from Gen IV also what aftermarket manufacturers have to offer and when to upgrade from OEM parts for higher quality aftermarket parts and fasteners. Not done reading this book but so far I like it nice clear photos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Information for beginners and the experienced LS engine builders.
A straight forward book of great information to build LS engines for performance and to build them to last. Being a first generation SBC builder since the 1960s, I knew little about the LS engines. I've learned a lot from this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
