Needs much more information on tuning
I'm a big fan of Des Hammill having bought 6 of his other books so I was a bit suprised to find this only deals with using standard parts, apart from briefly mentioning Holley carbs there is no mention or suggestion of using performance parts and their likely effects on output. A nice history of the engine but other than telling you to use the best of the...

This review is from: How to Build & Power Tune For V8 221, 255, 260, 289, 302 & 351cu in Smallblock Engines (Paperback)
I'm a big fan of Des Hammill having bought 6 of his other books so I was a bit suprised to find this only deals with using standard parts, apart from briefly mentioning Holley carbs there is no mention or suggestion of using performance parts and their likely effects on output.
A nice history of the engine but other than telling you to use the best of the standard parts which I would have thought was obvious anyway there is a real lack of information on upgrades. Doesn't even mention the GT40 crate engine or the ally heads which I would think lots of people will be starting with as a base Considering the title of the book and the picture on the cover I would imagine lots of people would buy it as I did for info on tuning and upgrades. You will be disappointed I'm afraid it doesn't talk about them at all! If anybody knows a good performance tuning manual for the 302 please let me know!

The book covers all the production small block engines from the 221 to the 351, explaining the different components and their interchangability. Basically it covers all areas to consider when building a reliable small block Ford engine for road or track.
