Guest Looking for apt in Alb Ny Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I wanted to make purchase on some V8 and transmission books. What 3 books would you recommend besides JTR that would give me some input for maybe a v8 conversion down the road. They can be relating from techincal to rebuilding.

RPMS Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I think Grumpy has recommended Smokey Yunick's book "Smokey Yunick's power secrets", and I enjoyed reading "John Lingenfelter on Modifying Small-Block Chevy Engines" It's a bit biased towards his own equipment (big surprise), but it does cover all the bases. I've also read "How to Build Max Performance Chevy Small Blocks on a Budget" and "How to Rebuild your Small Block Chevy", both by David Vizard. To my surprise, the dyno testing that each book does yields very similar results. I think small block performance has been honed over the years to the point where it's a fairly exact science instead of the secret art it used to be. Any of the books is an entertaining read, and all of them are quite functional as spooge-mag replacements for gearheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
