This review is from: Racing Engine Builder's Handbook: How to Build Winning Drag, Circle Track, Marine and Road RacingEngines (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book after I bought Engine Builder Handbook from the same author. The book contains a lot of good information which can be applied to many engine not only American V8. However, it would be better to include the techniques for the Japanese and European twin-cams engines.

This review is from: Racing Engine Builder's Handbook: How to Build Winning Drag, Circle Track, Marine and Road RacingEngines (Mass Market Paperback)
I consider myself a pretty attentive engine builder. This book was an excellent compliment to the extensive experience I have already. It contained many well thought out subjects with the relative details that will aid me for many more builds to come. And it should do so for anyone who choses to read it.

I have read other books written by this guy and like his approach. It is technical but in a common english way. Anyone can understand what he is saying. I think he does a great job explaining things also. The examples are easy to relate to.
