Summary: Refreshing Venture into the "How Come"
Review: In a day when we have many "how to" magazines and books, this book is a refreshing venture into the "how come". With that point in mind and despite other mixed reviews, I have to give John Lingenfelter's book on Modifying Small-Block Chevy Engines five out of five stars.
John leans more on the reason to build and modify various engine parts and touchs on the various parts and choices we as engine builders have. He thoroughly discusses which engine components should be given ample attention and which parts are just as well left alone. He also talks about how various parts work together to create a powerful unit.In summary, if you are looking for a "hold my hand" walk through engine disassembly/assembly than you may be happier with author David Vizard or many other fine automotive writers. But, if you're looking for something different; maybe to gain the knowledge to begin to make your own engine assembly choices, than this is a fantastic read.

Summary: An informative look at the Small Block Chevrolet engine.
Review: John Lingenfelter is as well known among Chevy fans as Caroll Shelby is among Mustang fans. The reason? He works miracles on engines.
If you want to know how to modify your fuel injected engine
for the ultimate in performance, John Lingenfelter is the man.
If you wish to see some of his work, point your browsers to
www.lingenfelter.com. There you can see his handiwork; eleven second ZR-1's, twelve second Z-28's, and a 600+ cubic inch big block Suburban.

Summary: GOOD BASICS
Review: THIS BOOK IS VERY GENERAL, POSSIBLY FOR THE NOVICE TO FORM A BASIS FOR BUILDING AN ENGINE. IT'S NOT FOR REFERENCE, NOT ENOUGH DETAILS.
