Very informative, great diagrams and impressive photographs. This engine book starts by covering the reliable slant 6 and progresses to cover small blocks, big blocks and the mighty Hemi. Oil systems, block and bore sizes, camshafts,gear valves and crankshafts are also included in this extensive engine book. I highly recommend this book to anyone attempting any...

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed in the lack of detail
I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. How can a 144pg book compare to the detail given in the factory Mopar Performance books when Chrysler spends about 400pgs on each engine family!

If you just want a brief overview of what engines were offered this is fine. For anyone really interested in making some power or hot rodding their Mopar, get the Mopar...

Very informative, great diagrams and impressive photographs. This engine book starts by covering the reliable slant 6 and progresses to cover small blocks, big blocks and the mighty Hemi. Oil systems, block and bore sizes, camshafts,gear valves and crankshafts are also included in this extensive engine book. I highly recommend this book to anyone attempting any Chrysler engine work on their own. This book nicely complements Adkin's previous book "Chrysler Performance Upgrades".

Too bad they don't have a money-back guarantee. Based on the reviews I thought this book would be much better

This review is from: How to Build High Performance Chrysler Engines (S-A Design) (Paperback)
I found this book to be extremely informative and helpful. From Slant Sixes to small blocks, Magnums, big blocks, and Hemis, this book covers it all. Lots of information and photos packed into one book. Engine history and parts interchangeability as well as parts selection. Lots of food for thought! Not too basic, but many complex theories are broken down and made easy to understand. If you've ever thought about building a Mopar engine, you should read this book!

This review is from: How to Build High Performance Chrysler Engines (S-A Design) (Paperback)
Great book plenty of detail ...but.... They should have dispensed with the lengthy detail on slant 6s.
Reccomend for build info for 600 and less hp.
