John Lingenfelter has been building, racing, and winning with small-block Chevy engines since 1972, when he arrived on the drag racing scene. This book offers many of his trademark power-producing techniques that have led to victory on the drag strip as well as on the Bonneville salt flats, where he set top speed records in his class.

Any professional performance engine builder will likely tell you the most powerful and important components in an engine are cylinder heads. High-Performance Chevy Small-Block Cylinder Heads shows you how to choose the best cylinder heads for your application. It covers both Gen I and Gen II small-block Chevys, occasionally touching on the Gen III and Gen IV engines. The book taps into some of the best small-block Chevy cylinder head resources this country has to offer to distill valuable information on port design and airflow management.
This book is designed exactly like its predecessor, High-Performance Chevy Small-Block Cams & Valvetrains, in that it starts with the basics and works into more in-depth concepts and variables in an attempt to uncover all those subtle nuances that make power in the small-block Chevy. It features airflow basics, extensive flow bench tests (using the SuperFlow 600 bench), information on production and aftermarket heads, rebuilding and assembly instruction, and basic porting techniques.

Ford's popularity is at an all-time high thanks to the overwhelming success of the 1979-'95 5.0L Mustang, GT, and Cobra. The 5.0L Mustang is viewed as the 1990's version of the 1955-'57 Chevrolet-some of the most popular and frequently modified cars of all time.

This book addresses high-performance V-8 engines such as the 289, 302, and 351ci small-blocks found in Mustangs, as well as the FE series of big-blocks. It emphasizes a budget approach to building these high performance powerplants through the use of over-the-counter factory components and selected aftermarket pieces. For automotive enthusiasts.

A complete performance guide for Chevrolet's newest generation LS1 small-block Chevy engine. Includes sections on bolt-ons, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, camshafts and valvetrain, fuel injection, block prep, final assembly, exhaust, and forced induction.

Undoubtedly, the virtue which has most contributed to the widespread use and varied application of the two-stroke engine is its mechanical simplicity. Tuning expert A. Graham Bell takes readers through the various modifications that can be made to a two-stroke and its components in order to derive maximum useable power and mechanical reliability. Both the latest advances in two-stroke tuning and old standbys are covered for all areas of operation, from ignition, carburetion, cylinders, and valves through exhaust systems and dyno tuning. Updates to this expanded edition include new photography, line diagrams and explanatory charts.

From Willys and Overland Jeeps of World War II, to the CJ models of the 70s and early 80s, to the slightly more civilized Wrangler, the Jeep has become an American icon. Jeep has maintained its popularity by updating and modernizing the traditional two-door, removable-top Jeep without watering down its off-road capability. Jeep owners love to personalize their vehicles and modify them for better performance on and off road.
In High-Performance Jeep Wrangler TJ Builder s Guide 1997-2006, author Christian Lee explains how to upgrade your Wrangler s suspension, axles, differentials, engine, transfer case, wheels and tires, skid plates, and more, using aftermarket and salvage-yard upgrades.
This book includes over 350 full-color images and drawings to show beginners and experienced Jeepers how to do things right. Lee even has special sections for basic driving and recovery techniques, and photos of built-up Jeeps to give you ideas for your own Wrangler.

This is a follow-up and companion to the successful How to Build a Flathead Ford V-8. This new edition describes the build-up of a 1946–1948 model 59 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor, a blown French flathead engine, and a blown Ardun engine—designed for street use.

Many French flathead engines have been purchased by flathead lovers in the United States. There is a strong demand for those engine blocks, and the purchasers are desperate for any build-up information.

The popularity of the Ardun is amazing, and this second volume contains a load of new information about the Ardun, as well as information and photographs of the lastest flathead goodies, such as crankshafts, connecting rods, intake manifolds, and cylinder heads.
