How to Build Max-Performance Mopar Big-Blocks

This is a very well written, easy to read item. I've found nothing inaccurate, no typos, which can be disastrous with a book of this type. Measurements, techniques, and formulas are well explained so they're easy to understand. Even the author's opinions (which are identified as such) are justified sufficiently. Very few topics are left vague. If so, the author usually points out a specific reason for it. Details, details, details.. it's FULL of 'em. Both for production and aftermarket blocks, heads, etc. (and the differences between them). Great book, don't regret this purchase in the least. Highly recommend.

USEFUL

This is an awesome read for the mopar enthusiast. It has a wealth of information and I’m glad I have this for my build.

A relatively recent offering targeting the ultimate "performance" crowd - i.e., Bracket Racing. Well written text, with excellent printing quality and photographic quality, though all photos are in B&W. In the Preface & Introduction sections the book attempts to make it clear this book is not about engine-building in general, or mildly increasing the performance of your Big-Block MOPAR. However, those potential "wave-off's" are only good if you're skimming the book in your local bookstore. Not of much assistance, once you've bought it (online?), uless you don't mind the hassle of returning it to your online vendor. Seems to be a great book for the niche audience it was written for, by an author who has the credentials to write such a book!

Brand new, packaged well & delivered undamaged.

This book helped me a lot when planning my B block build. Has a good build sheet to take notations of tolerances, CFM measurements, ect. Personally the oil passage sizing was the greatest help. Before I had a machine shop drill the cam to rocker passage I found a bunch of steel coiling in the passage left from the factory machining. Any way this book helped me design the build what I wanted, and put together with documentation instead of buying a crate engine. I can say "I built this" and know it is right. I am a retired professional mechanic that has re-built many engines. Re-building is not the same as building buy a long strech, this book really helps so everything comes out the way you pan.

Good stuff for old car builder

I'm about 4 chapters into it and so fare I am enjoying it. I hope to take what I am learning to build a 400/451 stroker.

full of good knowledge

Brilliant information. the actual information will always be out of date because the industry moves forward so fast, BUT a great place to start.

Wer darüber nachdenkt, sich einen Mopar Big Block Stroker zu bauen, kommt an diesem Buch nicht vorbei. Zuerst wird physikalisches Wissen vermittelt, um richtige Entscheidungen bezüglich Intake Port Grösse, Nockenwelle usw. fällen zu können. Es werden alle Motorkomponenten von Grundblock bis Kipphebel behandelt um z.B. die richtige Auswahl bei entscheidenden Komponenten wie Zylinderkopf treffen zu können. Die vorgestellten Komponenten entsprechen der aktuellen Auswahl am Markt. Zum Abschluss werden noch passende Komponenten zusammengestellt, mit denen man Motoren für Street, Street/Strip oder reine Strip-Motoren bauen kann. Im wesentlichen geht es um Hubraumgrössen von 430 -572 cui, mit Schwerpunkt auf dem typischen 500cui Stroker. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!!

Fast shipping and the product arrived without a scratch or tear.. 5 stars!!

Sehr cooles Material!! Zwar in englisch aber gut verständlich und einfach zu verstehen, weil hervorragend Bebildert und beschrieben. Bin sehr froh es gekauft zu haben,.........
