5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for the BMC-A series performance engine builder, May 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tuning the A-Series Engine: The Definitive Manual on Tuning for Performance or Economy (Hardcover)
If I could have only one book on BMC-A series motors, this would be it! I also have David's earlier book, "How to Hotrod Your Mini". This book contains the essential content of "How to Hotrod Your Mini" and much more. I have found the book valuable for component selection as well as technique. It is clear David does extensive research for his books. In addition to the vast technical content, this book is easy to read. Buy it, read it cover to cover and you will refer to it as long as you play with these motors.

This review is from: Tuning the A-Series Engine: The Definitive Manual on Tuning for Performance or Economy (Hardcover)
Altho the book is focused on the A-series motor, and there are appropriate disclaimers to avoid applying the information to any other Brit motor, the Book is replete with mounds of valuable generic information about vintage & scca racing & performance mods applicable to other than A-series motors that any MG owner or TR owner can profit by, such as how to degree a cam
