This book provides an introduction to the design and mechanical development of reciprocating piston engines for vehicular applications. Beginning from the determination of required displacement, coverage moves into engine configuration and architecture. Critical layout dimensions and design trade-offs are then presented. Coverage continues with material and casting processes selection for the cylinder blocks and heads. Each major engine component and subsystem is then taken up in turn.

This review is from: Vehicular Engine Design (Powertrain) (Hardcover)
It's an ok book, but very thin for the price. I missed that it's only 200 pages.
Way more in much greater detail for the same money is BOTH volumes of "The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice by Charles Fayette Taylor Otherwise a fine book.
