3.0 out of 5 starsNot nearly enough information
By TM Warren on February 21, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've built engines before, but never a Ford, so I bought this hoping for more Ford-specific information. Unfortunately, it spent too much time talking about the machine-shop stage and none on pre-assembly. Furthermore, there were only a handful of torque specs, and no note of the firing order for different engines. I spent more time looking things up on the Internet than referencing this book. It served as a high-level guide to the general assembly process, but it's a poor how-to for the DIYer.

3.0 out of 5 starsHow to Rebuild the Small Block Ford-Color Edition (SA Design)
By Dr-K on November 4, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
this book is informative and useful to someone that has limited experience rebuilding engines. It provides usefule information on tear down and rebuild.

Caution: it is almost word for word, picture for picture identical to George Reid's "How to Rebuild 4.6-/5.4-Liter Ford Engines (S-a Design, Workbench Series)". Purchase one or the other, but not both as I unfortunately did.

4.0 out of 5 starsLots of info
By David J. Martin on September 27, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Not as detailed as id expected but its a must have either way. Perfect for newbies like me. Doing my first engine build and this is valuable. I just wish there was more detail. Too much time spent in the machine shop, not enough on assembly.

Doing your first engine build as me? Youll need more than just this.

Color pics are very good. The author gives good useful explanations on rebuild and things to look for. This book helped me in the purchase of a rebuilt engine and working on it a lot, though i didnt totally rebuild myself.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood book
By peter christman on December 8, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
While this is a good book with good info,it would have been a lot better if it had more technical data on the use of different size internal componants such as cranks,push and connecting rods,domed and flat pistons and such.
I would recomend this to a friend

5.0 out of 5 starsHelp for the Do-It-Yourselfer
By David R. Reynolds on June 20, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book gives the rebuilder all the critical information that is needed to perform a successful overhaul of a small block Ford engine. The text is clearly written and there are many color photos to illustrate the proceedures that have to be performed. There are also a number of spec. charts and tables that list critical dimensions and clearences. This book is valuable to both the pro and the newbie.

4.0 out of 5 starsMost all you will need for early small block fords
By BobT on February 27, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Very useful for people building small block fords with carburetors and looking to build more power than the stock motor. Good emphasis on increased durability and selection of components to stand up to the increased power. Frank discussion of replacing vs. rebuilding.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat reference Book
By Chad R Gandy on February 25, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
No single book is every going to meet everybodys needs. I purchased this book (amongst others) to give me perspective on my engine building project. This is a great book with nice colorful pictures. When building an engine, reading how to do something is not as good as looking at a picture with somebody illustrating the reading. This book has lots of great pictures and information to help you be successful in building an engine and understanding what parts affect performance. This does NOT have technical information like Torque for bolts which you can find in manuals.

I reccomend this book for anybody that is learning how to build engines or learning about how they work.
