5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for identification of your bow-tie small-block, July 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Chevrolet Small-Block V-8 ID Guide (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This is a good book for identification of your bow-tie small-block, although there's some lack of info regarding the first 265 engines and the '57 fuel injected 283 engines. Handy for who needs the full history about the small-block left on the back of the garage. There's even some info about the 400ci engines.

This review is from: Chevrolet Small-Block V-8 ID Guide (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
Packed with info. Chapters are clear and codes are well laid out. Took me a little bit to get used to the format, but once I got the hang of it, I was off. Helped me identify a couple of old engines I was looking at to rebuild. Saved me time.
