Small Block Chevy Engine Buidings,
By
This review is from: Small-Block Chevy Engine Buildups: How to Build Horsepower for Maximum Street and Racing Performance - Covers All Makes and Models (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. The cover shows a small block Chevy with a large Wiend blower sporting two 4500 series carburetors and the caption reads "How to build horespower for maximum street and racing performance". While there are plenty of respectable 350 builds for the street, only one is over 383 cid at 406 cid and only 513hp. Again, a heavy hitter on the street but not even coming close to the capabilities of the engine pictured on the cover or what the write up suggests. The one blown SBC they do build is a mild 470hp. There is a lot of good info in this book but the cover and write up is very misleading. Buyer beware.

I built many performance engine long time ago and today prices for parts are over the top. Will have to learn how to obtain H.P. parts at swap meets or online.

This review is from: Small-Block Chevy Engine Buildups: How to Build Horsepower for Maximum Street and Racing Performance - Covers All Makes and Models (Paperback)
I bought this hoping to get some ideas on what changes would improve the horse power on the engine I'm rebuilding. And, well it didn't let me down! An excellent reference book, one that you can go back to time and time again.
Add just a basic improvement or go the whole hug and blow the doors off anything street legal!
