3.0 out of 5 stars
not so much what i was looking for,
This review is from: How to Build a Small Block Chevy for the Street (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I was looking for a more "this is what you need" kind of book. Appeals to me as it is well written although the cylinder head section is a bit of a math class when one really wants to know is which head should one use.....some stock head designs are left out. Overall a good reader but would not buy again!
