Dyno-Proven Small-Block Ford Performance

By: Richard Holdener .

The popular small-block Ford engine has powered a host of performance vehicles since its introduction in 1962, including the iconic Mustang from its inception all the way to 1995. These pushrod wonders have been around the block, and there has never been a better time to tear into them and find some horsepower.

In Dyno-Proven Small-Block Ford Performance, author Richard Holdener dyno tests a variety of performance parts on carbureted and fuel-injected Windsor engines in 302- to 427-ci combinations. These before-and-after tests deliver scientific, real-world results to help you decide which performance parts are right for you.

Chapters cover the intake and exhaust systems, cylinder heads, camshafts, stoker kits, and even superchargers, turbochargers, and nitrous oxide. There's no advertising here—just dyno-verified results.
