 Rating:  - A good general review of smallblock chevy engine building A good general review of smallblock chevy engine building John Lingenfelter on Modifying SB Chevy Engines Rating: - One of the best engine modification books.I wanted a book on modifying V8 engines and this is it.The author is known for his performance and racing engines.John explains which modifications are ideal but more importantly,explains why. This book is ideal for all petrol engines not just Chevy engines.The tips and techniques can be applied to any petrol engine. Plenty of photographs throughout and its a great read.Most engine builders and amateurs will enjoy this book. Rating: - Lingefelter's small block street motor primerI purchased this book when it was released in 1996. I had just finished a 355 and had it running.

I was looking for some real insider secrets from a leading engine builder. I spent 10 years in the engine rebuilding business and now do it only as a hobby. I am always on the lookout for great books on the subject. This book is not one of them. Smokey Yunick's Power Secrets is a much better buy, although it doesn't talk about fuel injection. If you are a beginner in the engine building world, then by all means read this book, then read Smokey's ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
