Lot's of info on FE blocks (seems hard to find),
By A Customer
This review is from: Ford Performance (Paperback)
If you own an FE block engine (390-428 cid), this book is useful. I have found it difficult to find anything on my '65 model 390 and it tells you everything you want to know. The techniques and part #s might be outdated (as one guy says), but the history of the FE and all other "modern" pushrod blue ovals is not. I thought it was worth the 15 bones I paid.

A 20 year old rehash of old ideas,
By uhumichael@aol.com (San Francisco, CA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ford Performance (Paperback)
When this book was first issued back in 1979, the information was contemporary and useful. Unfortunatley for this book, the world of Ford performance has changed drastically in the last twenty years. I have the original print of this book and was looking forward to this update. Boy was I disappointed. The cover says, "Includes all Modern Ford Performance Engines." I guess this means anything built after the flathead. The engine building techniques are old, the technology is old, even the part numbers are old. No information on the vast array of the new aftermarket aluminum heads and manifolds, fuel injection, ignition systems, etc. or anything on the new Modular engines is offered. If you want a nostalgic look at what it used to be like or general information on older hot rod Ford engines, this book may be for you. If you have the first printing of this book or are trying to build a cutting-edge modern Ford engine, forget it.

Excellent book covering Windsors, Clevelands, FE's, & Limas,
By Ted Boland "Ted Boland" (TEXAS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ford Performance (Paperback)
If you are building one of the above engines for the first time this is a must have book that teaches you the basic tricks you need. Another reviewer unfairly blamed the book for not covering the new 4.6L engines. It only says on the cover exactly what engines are covered, duh! So, ignore his comments and buy Too Tall Ganahl's book with confidence. The only thing I would have liked to have seen are a casting number list, otherwise an outstanding book.
