Average Rating:
 Rating: - Good but missing a key ingredientI realize this book is a classic and is the #1 recommended book for those looking to build a ford engine. It does provide descriptions of the components of the original motors and upgrades used over the years, as well as a quick pictorial of engine assembly. However, it is missing the key ingredient of what parts go together to give a specific result. For example, there is no discussion of matching heads, with intakes, camshafts, etc. Maybe this is beyond the subject of this book, or these are just ... Read More Rating:  - Nice Reference BookBook is a great reference for those who want to learn more about Ford performance engines. Rating: - Excellent Ford V8 "Pushrod" Engine BookPat's book takes us through the "modern" pushrod V8s of small and big block Ford engines. It starts with a discussion of the Windsor small blocks from 289-351W with mentions of the 260, though this section focuses on the "6-bolt" bellhousing SBFs. It moves on to a detailed discussion of the FE and all of the cool, neat pieces that were prevalent before most of us were born or at least long before we were of driving age. It is worth the asking price alone to drool over the photos of the ... Read More Rating: - For those who can readI read the book, many times. One must remember all things start in some type of begining, as this book does. No matter if you are working on a 1954 Ford or a late model 5.0 all things in the bottom end are the pretty much the same. For those that worry about aluminum heads, well, why are GT-40's from Ford cast iron? I have been racing since 1967 and I find the book informative to say the least. Besides I do not need aluminum heads when I get better performance from cast iron and do not have to worry ... Read More Rating: - Excellent book covering Windsors, Clevelands, FE's, & LimasIf you are building one of the above engines for the first time this is a must have book that teaches you the basic tricks you need. Another reviewer unfairly blamed the book for not covering the new 4.6L engines. It only says on the cover exactly what engines are covered, duh! So, ignore his comments and buy Too Tall Ganahl's book with confidence. The only thing I would have liked to have seen are a casting number list, otherwise an outstanding book.
