  • Its just barely an OK book
This a lot of magazine articles from Chevy High performance and Super Chevy. Many builds are not documented well enough to reproduce and others are out of range for your average home builder. I find most builds have been edited way to much and leave me wondering what was used or done to complete the build. If you have not read any magazines and do not know how to use Google it would be helpful to have for the planning stages of a motor you might want to build. If you are like me and need to have, or study every thing you can get your hands on before jumping into a project, then go for it. ... show more

  • Great book
very good book. It answered many questions about how I wanted to build my engine. It gives detailed part numbers to proven builds so you have no guess work. If you want to build a big block chevy power house but not sure what cam, pistons, heads, crank, carb,intake etc.. to use then this book IS FOR YOU !!! ... show more

  • Fun Book.
This book can save you a lot of time and money in trying to find great part combinations for BBC builds. Not a lot of hardcore technical stuff though.

  • BB Chevy
Very poor BB Chevy book with very little useful information. Author needs to take a few tips from the likes of David Vizard on how to write an engine book.
