Old technology but maybe this is what you want
Although this book has a copyright date of 1996, the newest engine data I could find was 1987.

This review is from: High Performance Crate Motor Buyer's Guide (S-A Design) (Paperback)
Although this book has a copyright date of 1996, the newest engine data I could find was 1987. It is a good reference for crate engine suppliers (I assume most are still in business) and general selection information. It is heavy on race/hotrod/performance applications but has info applying to daily drivers also. And it has a chapter on preparation and startup of the engine. It discusses carburetors, and "old fashioned" distrubutor ignitions with vacum advance. If you are looking for data on updating your 90's GM truck to a modern Vortec (like me), this is NOT the book to get. There is no info on using modern ignition/engine management systems. Nor any data on throttle body or fuel injection. There is no data on engine mount fitment for swapping older/newer engines into vehicles.
