Nice Overview of Available Aftermarket Combinations
This was a pretty good book as far as showing you how much power certain combinations make. Nothing in this book is terribly enlightening though if you're a regular reader of Hot Rod, Car Craft and other high-performance magazines. But it's fairly comprehensive. It does not get into engine theory much or the process of engine building/assembly at all.
Ford Windsor Small-Block Performance
Almost as good as the Mathis book. It covers a lot of performance companies, including Saleen and Vortech. The only thing I didn't like was the retrofitting chapter where the author tells you how to retro fit a 302 into an old muscle car. It should've been spent on fitting a 351W into a SN95 V6 engine bay; now that would've help me more.
Waste of Money! Don't do what I did!
I bought this book to learn how to Swap a EFI 5.0 in my old '67 Mustang, because it has a whole chapter devoted to it. It told me nothing more than what I already learned before from the Windsor-Fox. I looked over the rest of the book at its information about engine rebuilding, and found it just as worthless. If you want to learn how to Swap an EFI 5.0, you'll just be wasting your money on this book, and if you are looking to rebuild your engine, this book is a waste of your time. There are so many better books that cover performance engine rebuilding out there.
