How to Build Killer Chevy Small-Block Engines (Performance How-to)

The author gives a very detailed build in this book. If you like lots of tech and attention to detail, this is the right book for you.

This is an excellent guide to planning performance increases in the 265-283-327-350 Chevrolet engines. The information is presented in a logical sequence and covers most components of the engine. The technical data is presented concisely and is accompanied by a good many tables, graphs, and photographs. I found the chapter on cylinder heads especially well done and very complete. For those planning a performance rebuild this will book will be invaluable. Keep in mind that the amount of equipment needed to accomplish the example rebuild presented in the book is probably much greater than the average home mechanic has at his/her disposal. There are several helpful tables showing the parts used in the rebuild.

This book is a must-have if you are building a Chevy Small Block. It covers all aspects from beginning to end. It contains many helpful color photos showing detail. It also contains many charts with helpful info throughout the book. At the end, it has a build of a sample engine:422 CI. It has all the parts used and item #s included in a chart at the end of the book. You will be happy with this book to help in your engine building. I received this book from Car Tech in exchange for my honest review. Thank You

This extensively detailed guide brings you all of the latest performance information on the classic and well-loved SBC. In it, Mike Mavrigan covers every key aspect of a build project including crankshafts, connecting rods, cylinder heads, camshafts, induction, rockers and lifters, pistons, and a sample engine build. Loaded with full color photos, useful info charts, and special tips and considerations, this book is a must-have for anyone considering a SBC build project!

Very disappointing. It's about 100 pages of aftermarket part photos and descriptions, all of which will be out of date sooner or later. The last section describes how to spend big $$$ building a dream motor using every trick aftermarket part conceivable. Condense it down and there are about ten pages of how to actually build a "killer" small block. I wish I could get a refund. It was that big of a waste.

Great, brightly colored attention grabbing cover! Highly detailed - yet easy to understand - instructional info on every aspect of Chevy small-block engines. Color photos on almost every page, some detailed and close up. Another well done CarTech book!

How to Build Killer Chevy Small Block Engines by Mike Mavrigian is another great addition to the Performance How to series from Cartech Books. Filled with hundreds of full color photos, this how to guide covers everything from blocks, crankshafts, rods and pistons. A must have guide for any enthusiast.

Not exactly any thing to do with How to build a killer engine but of parts you could buy and use for an engine. Better books out there

Very informative

Very interesting ways to get things done but not on a budget
