About this product

Product Information

George McNicholl. Hot rodders and street rodders who love vintage engines will appreciate this book's step-by-step coverage of the complete build-ups of 10 different vintage engines. Engines covered include the 354 Chrysler Hemi (naturally aspirated [NA] and blown), the 392 Chrysler (NA and blown), the 500 Cadillac, and the most popular engines of all: Three Chevy big-blocks (NA and blown) and two of the all-time favorite Chevy small-blocks. These are pre-electronic fuel injection (EFI) engines that can be built to deliver stunning horsepower, so they're extremely popular among hot rodders. This book describes in detail how to build each of these street-going engines properly so they deliver peak performance and reliability.

Okay book
I bought this book strictly for the info in the Hemi build chapters. The engine builds are for two normally aspirated Hemis and two blown . Prices are listed for some parts costs but not others. One example is the Hemi roller rockers which are not priced . The info only really seems to apply if you want to copy these particular builds.One statement I found contradictory was not to go to .060 inch over pistons on a street build then in the next paragraph it states it is okay. The unblown 354 Hemi build uses 9:1 compression and I don't beleive will acheive the horsepower ratings written about in the book. However there is so little info on so called vintage engine builds in general that it is still a worthwhile read.The info is presented in a slightly disorganized way. I would recommend it for anyone interested in building an unusual engine but after reading it and taking a few notes you may want to sell it on eBay rather then treasure it as a valuable resource book.I still give it a good rating despite the few shortfalls it has due to the fact that it has no other type books to compare to and any vintage engine build info is good info whether it applies to the build you have planned for your personal engine build. Contains good list of parts sources mentioned in the chapters.Read full review

Very detailed and thorough book for general and performance engine building
This is a very thorough book on building engines, (in general), and also details building several specific engines such as the first generation hemi's, 354, & 392 and covers blown engines and normally aspirated engines. The book covers work on every specific engine part, and give details on how to make the parts better for more performance. A few parts could have been written a little better, but most all other sections of the book are great. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to rebuild these engines, and anyone looking to modify these engines for more horsepower and torque.
