If you have one of the 351C, 351M, 400, 429 or 460 Ford V8s, this comprehensive book is a must. It walks you through a complete engine rebuild, step-by-step, with minimum use of special tools. Save... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Impressed with this book even at my advanced years. Excellent information and PRACTICAL guidelines on rebuilding 351C, 351M, 400M, 429 and 460 engines. Generally I dislike these types of books because they tell you to use this special too or that special tool but this book teaches you how to use what you've got to get the job done. It does try to show you what things to not try yourself without a machine shop and that is fair enough but most of the rebuilding tips are for the shade tree type guy and are fair game. Good job Tom, this book will remain on my bookshelf for a long long time.
Book review

The book "Ford V8 Engines" is full of helpful information on rebuilding Ford engines. As a first time rebuilder, I was not exactly sure what procedures to follow in order to be successful. The Information within the book is easy to understand and is thorough. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in rebuilding Engines.
Great Book!

This is a great book for anyone wishing to rebuild any of the engines this book covers.I used it years ago when I built my first 460.It is easy to read and understand.I would also recommend "THE STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO ENGINE BLUEPRINTING" by Rick Voegelin.
Straight forward with a sense of humour; easy to understand

Be aware: this book does not cover the 360/390 Ford Engines (so I'm troubled that your title heading states:"covers all makes & models")...This book is written at a very easy-to-follow pace.
One of the best how-to books written.

Engine rebuilding is only as good as your attention to detail, and this book walks you through your rebuild step by step. I have owned my copy of this book almost twelve years, and I consider it one of the best automotive books I have. Do not try to rebuild a Ford V-8 without this book by your side. I have rebuilt over 70 engines and I still find it useful.
