Product Description
For all Ford V8 owners, a complete handbook with hard to find specifications, adjustments and tuning data of every engine from 221 to 462 CID, plus a massive list of factory part numbers, for heavy-duty and "High-Per" parts, with important details of engine assembly and ignition-carburetion modifications for premium performance. "Switch and Swap" of heavy-duty parks, from one size engine to another, is clearly explained. This is the best-ever low-bucks handbook to upgrade horsepower and durability of every modern Ford V8 engine.

Inside this big book is a chapter on exactly how performance of the best Ford V8s may be improved using low-cost factory parts. Following this is a list of thousands of such parts, their numbers and which engines they fit. In addition, Fooorrd V8 Performance Guide provides exact details on the "switch and swap" of performance parts from one engine to another. Covered at the 90V, Y, MEL, 335, 385 and famous FE series engines. Every Ford V8 to 1971, from the "Small Block" 221 to the huge 462 from Lincoln, has a separate listing with its basic parts, many of which are shown with exact part number. Full tuning details of more than 125 different engines re listed, including the famous "Boss" and Indianapolis DOHC front-runners. Every known Ford camshaft is specified, as are cylinder heads and intake manifolds. The list of parts numbers and detailed descriptions make it easy to identify salvaged parts.

An excellent guide for the enthusiast or professional mechanic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bill Carroll's The Stocker's Bible, April 25, 2008
A great reprint that looks original because it has little in the way of reproduction markings. Just a bar code on the back cover and on the last page, and the republishers info added to the bottom of the first page. Nothing bold and huge like with Jim Osborn reprinted stuff. Way cheaper on Amazon than the same thing sold on eBay too!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really for me..., June 9, 2007
Not a bad book of esoteric specifications, but generallly not something that I need either. Wish I would have spent my money on something else.
