How To Rebuild Big-Block Mopar Engines by Don Taylor is a very informative book. It covers everything from inspection of your old engine, removal from vehicle to disassembly and reassembly. Also includes proper cleaning techniques as well as machining recommendations. This detailed book includes casting numbers for blocks, cranks, rods, cylinder heads, intake manifolds and water pump housings for those who want an accurate restoration or those needing help with identification of parts. This book is more detailed about B/RB disassembly/reassembly and problem areas and tips to make the job easier than other general engine rebuilding books. Don gives step by step instructions on reassembly with plenty of pictures to help. This book will help the novice or experienced engine builder do a better job on his Mopar.

I have not worked on cars for 20 years but then I bought a 76 Dodge Pickup that needed engine work. I knew that I would be over my head when I removed the valve covers. That is when I decided to get a book on Mopar engines. When I received the book I started reading expecting a book for mechanics, but what I found was a how-to rebuild a big block Mopar. It is written as if the author was telling you step by step just exactly how to remove, disassemble and repair the engine. He told what to look for and how to fix it. Then step by step how to re-assemble the engine and put it back in the vehicle. All of the while passing informative tips and a few tricks. The book helped me avoid several costly mistakes. It is a must have for anyone considering rebuilding a big block Chrysler.

HOW TO REBUILD BIG - BLOCK MOPAR ENGINES BY DON TAYLOR IS BY FAR THE BEST BOOK OF IT'S KIND I HAVE FOUND. DON MAKES IT FUN TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY. ANYONE CAN BUILD A "GOOD" MOTOR USING THIS BOOK.IT IS FUN AND VERY EASY TO FOLLOW. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY GEARHEAD. KEITH.

This book actually makes doing work fun and easy. This book is a MUST for any person who wants to rebuild a BB Mopar and build it right.

Way better than Titanic. Makes it look like a bedtime story!! It's in a league of it's own.

This book was excellent. I read it cover to cover 3 times and it just got better each time. "Big blocks, big blocks, big blocks!!" Includes pictures of every step and engine part and is very easy to understand. Has a complete listing of casting numbers, specs on parts, etc. Great for the beginner or someone who has done it before. You always forget something, and this book reminds you to do it. My favorite part is when you put the distributor back in- you know you'll have tons of torque in no time and the suspense is exillerating! I also like all the grease and oil- I love being dirty under the hood (if you know what I mean).

Feel free to email with questions about it. Isn't this such a generic review??

This is by far the best book on rebuilding big block mopars for novices out there. Step my step instructions tons of pictures and information. If you have never rebuilt an engine before i recomend this book

At 69 years and after many years away from rebuilding engines, I now have the time and some fourteen autos that need rebuilding in one way or another. This book, is detailed enough to help me remember when I rebuilt a 383CI, and the 440CI. I will purchase informational books for the Chevrolet V-8's, and 318CI and slant 6 Mopar engines. This book and it's author are OK in my opinion and will continue to purchase their publications as needed.

This book is filled with all the handy tips and tricks for any level of engine builder.I'm a beginner but, it would also serve well as a refresher for a more experienced builder. It's definitely helped guide me in the right direction.I'm really learning a lot. A "must read" for any big block Mopar owner.

This is a well written book that takes you step by step through the engine rebuild process. Whether you`re a novice or experienced with rebuilding big block Mopars there`s something here for you. I would highly recommend this book.

easy to understand format. a great guide for a basic rebuild to high performance for race application. you may wanna buy two copies because you will be turning pages alot. highly recommend this manual, especially for someone starting their first rebuild.
