Description
By: George Reid .
If you're looking at this book, you probably have a small-block Ford, and you probably want more power.
This book is the definitive guide for building a big-inch Ford small block, complete with four engine buildups ranging from 331 to 408 cubic inches. Now you don't have to go through all the trouble of switching to a big block just to get those extra cubic inches you've always wanted.
After a brief history of the small-block Ford in all its variations, George Reid thoroughly explains the different aspects of building a stroker, paying special attention to the effects that increasing the bore and stroke have on the engine as a whole. With this information, you'll be better able to tailor your heads, cam, intake manifold, carburetor, and exhaust system to get the most out of the extra cubes.
Also included is a complete guide to factory head and block castings, as well as aftermarket block and head guides, so you can choose exactly the right parts for your specific project. There is also an informative chapter on engine math, and another on beefing up your chassis, rear end, and brakes to help your ride handle all that big-inch power.
