Good engine book

For those of you who aren't sure what cam shaft to get for your car or what the specifications for a cam mean like lobe separation, or maybe what size heads you should get and why bigger is not better, plus anything else you'd want to know when building up your motor. Lingenfelter's book on how to build a chevy small block is awsome. I got it a few weeks ago and I just go through it every once in a while and its very interesting and informative. Just wanted to recomend this book to you guys.:smile:

sounds interesting but also sounds like V8s only. It'll probablly be a while before I'm driving one of those.

V8's are pretty much all thats talked about but its all the same concepts. A motor is a motor. But I do see your point that it would be harder to apply it to a 6 cylinder.

actually that is just what im looking for........there is alot of terms im not familiar with.......i was stumped for a long time over hydraulic lifters.flat tappet.roller tappet......etc if there is any other good ones you guys know about , i wanna know

this book by lingenfelter goes through all of that in great detail.
