5.0 out of 5 stars
great book,
By christopher spicer (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chevrolet Inline Six-Cylinder Power Manual (Paperback)
I have read this book to learn more about the in line chevrolet engine and what can be done with this engine. This book answered all my questions and more. It does not cover any 12 port heads though, hybrid heads are covered in one chapter. Leo Santucci was nice enough to list most modifactions by purpose (street, street/strip, all out drag) and tells you what to do to get the performance you desire without building an unuseable engine. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking the build a six with more than stock perforamnce.

Best Chevy Six Book Ever!,
By Ball Peen Billy "Bill" (Clyo, GA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chevrolet Inline Six-Cylinder Power Manual (Paperback)
I'm a graduate mechanical engineer and former Chevy Six racer, and this book taught me things I never knew - or even thought about. It gives every piece of info necessary to select and build a Chevy or GMC six from mild street to full race. It even provides the part numbers and interchangeability info, so you can't go wrong if you pay attention to the author's comments.
Also included are the strengths and weaknesses of each engine model, modifications necessary to get reliable performance and power, and little secrets of tuning that make the difference between good and great engines. If the info you're looking for isn't in this book, you don't need the info. VERY highly recommended!!
