Editorial Reviews

Product Description

From the late 1950s and the famous "Elephant" Hemi through the '70s and '80s when Chrysler engines terrorized drag strips and southern stock car racing, to the new millennium of now famous Magnum powerplants, Chrysler has consistently produced some of the strongest performance engines for street and race track use. Adkins details performance modifications for each family of engines and each specific model within the family, making interchangability of parts a common theme. Included are aftermarket components and services, do-it-yourself modifications, technical specifications, performance figures, and a comprehensive review of engine upgrades. For automotive enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Covers it all for the "Do it yourself" reader, March 16, 2002
By A Customer
Very informative, great diagrams and impressive photographs. This engine book starts by covering the reliable slant 6 and progresses to cover small blocks, big blocks and the mighty Hemi. Oil systems, block and bore sizes, camshafts,gear valves and crankshafts are also included in this extensive engine book. I highly recommend this book to anyone attempting any Chrysler engine work on their own. This book nicely complements Adkin's previous book "Chrysler Performance Upgrades".

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed in the lack of detail, July 13, 2005
I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. How can a 144pg book compare to the detail given in the factory Mopar Performance books when Chrysler spends about 400pgs on each engine family!

If you just want a brief overview of what engines were offered this is fine. For anyone really interested in making some power or hot rodding their Mopar, get the Mopar Performance book for your specific engine.

Too bad they don't have a money-back guarantee. Based on the reviews I thought this book would be much better

5.0 out of 5 stars How To Build High Performance Chrysler Engines, June 24, 2001
By kristy (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
I found this book to be extremely informative and helpful. From Slant Sixes to small blocks, Magnums, big blocks, and Hemis, this book covers it all. Lots of information and photos packed into one book. Engine history and parts interchangeability as well as parts selection. Lots of food for thought! Not too basic, but many complex theories are broken down and made easy to understand. If you've ever thought about building a Mopar engine, you should read this book!
