Tuning the A-Series engine

David's book answered every question as it came into my mind as i read his book. The writing is A+++ with plenty of details no "fluff". If you want to know about A-series engines buy this book.

Current viewpoints

Information is reasonably current. Many on this subject contain only the info from "the-day". Vizard knows of what he speaks. Real dyno info, real race experience. Applies to later BMC B just as well. Quite different views on head porting than Burgess.

A-Series Tuning Guide

Very comprehensive and if you want to upgrade the performance of your A-series engine, then this is the book to do it with.

buy it if you own a British car

Altho the book is focused on the A-series motor, and there are appropriate disclaimers to avoid applying the information to any other Brit motor, the Book is replete with mounds of valuable generic information about vintage & scca racing & performance mods applicable to other than A-series motors that any MG owner or TR owner can profit by, such as how to degree a cam

Essential for the BMC-A series performance engine builder

If I could have only one book on BMC-A series motors, this would be it! I also have David's earlier book, "How to Hotrod Your Mini". This book contains the essential content of "How to Hotrod Your Mini" and much more. I have found the book valuable for component selection as well as technique. It is clear David does extensive research for his books. In addition to the vast technical content, this book is easy to read. Buy it, read it cover to cover and you will refer to it as long as you play with these motors.
