Mr Shepard has written the follow up to his Mopar Performance book. Excellent information thats current as of the publishing date. Well written and engaging, but not as detailed as the MP book. You need both. I would also recommend the new book by Richard Nedbal.

Great book overall! The only thing(s) that was left out was more details on Hemi block developement and the different series of heads. It would have been helpful if there was more information/specs on the D-series heads. ALL the involvement of builders such as Bob Mullens and Keith Black had in them was overlooked. KB went so far to build his own version of the D4A but for alcohol. Totally overlooked.

Om man händelsevis har ett hjärta för Chyslers 426 Hemi så ärden här boken ett måste, jag kan inte se att det saknas några detaljer. Troligtvis har Larry Shepard fullständiga kunskaper i ämnet.Trevligt att fördjupa sig i textmaterelet.
