4 out of 5 stars Good source   October 23, 2007

My husband wanted this book because he is modify an engine for his 66 Chevy II. Upon receipt, he read the book from cover to cover and found it very useful.


2 out of 5 stars An interesting historical study, but little relevance today   August 6, 2005

If you're interested in the history of hot-rodding or the small block Chevy V8, then you might find a few interesting things in here. However since this book was written over 30 years ago, it predates the development of much of the performance aftermarket for the SBC. Much of the focus of the book is on modifying stock parts to make them suitable for performance use, when today the same or better results could be obtained more easily or in many cases more cheaply with new-technology aftermarket parts.


3 out of 5 stars One of the classic great books on the small block chevy   May 31, 1999

Covers all the building blocks of performance Small Block engine building. This book was written before all the electronic fuel injection and aluminum heads of the eighties were introduced. So it's really aimed at non fuel injected cars. This is 70's technology, very well written with good photos. A Classic reference book I keep in my toolbox. (I'd rate it five stars if it were newer info.)
