most useful ford book

This was an excellent step by step book and it was a critical part of my engine build. I couldn't have completed my project w/o this book.I highly recommend this book for anyone doing anything from a rebuild to a Hi-Po Motor.

Fantastic book ;

This book is a great book, period... It's served me very well more than once and clearly had all the information that I needed to help build several motors, including one for my son's Mustang. Same thing with the " How to rebuild your Ford V8 351 C-351M-400-429-460 ".. I've built several 351 Cleveland's and both were very good rebuilds. The author does a great job of explaining exactly what you need to do; you must be able and willing to do the rest and you will succeed.

Great Rebuild How-to

This book is an excellent guide to rebuilding small-block ford engines (sbf). Written by experts with years, this book is written specifically about rebuilding the sbf. Anyone who is rebuilding an engine would find this book useful because of the large amount of general wisdom about rebuilding. Starting with how to assess whether the rebuild is needed, and a discussion of the tools and skills required, the book can help keep you from getting into a project that is beyond one's abilities or desire to complete. There is also a thoughtful section on hopping up engines, since the time to do it is during a rebuild. Various options for levels of quality of parts to use as well as the decisions around how much machineshop time to use are discussed. Finally well ilustrated and very detailed step-by-step instructions take you through the full rebuild from tear-down to build-up and through reinstallation in the vehicle. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is contemplating rebuilding an sbf. The combination of detailed instructions with thought-provoking advice will go a long way in helping to create a successful rebuild.

I built a 351W with this book!

I built a 351W from a long block kit with the help of this book. And the engine ran the first time!The book points out many of the little parts that you need but which are not advertised in catalogs or magazines. Some parts guys at the local Ford dealership did not even know what some of the parts were. But you need them, all the same.
