Author William Burt uses color photos and descriptive text to teach readers the complete rebuild process from removal to break-in.

This book describes ways to increase the performance and efficiency of your small-block Mopar, and also point s out the unique steps required for LA and Magnum versions of the engine. Topics covered include removal, tear down, inspection, selecting parts, machine-shop work, and assembly. Special sidebars cover torque sequences, cc-ing heads, calculating compression ratio, and painting engine parts.

About the Author

Bill have always been a moto-maniac, never focusing on one brand, only on what he liked and wanted at the time. He has owned cars made by Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Datsun/Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Toyota, and BMW (an old 1972 2002 that he still misses). Models have included Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, 280Z, Monte Carlo, Cutlass, and lots of four-wheel-drive stuff. After spending an eternity in the foundry and machining business (which translates to just over a decade). He began writing books in 1995 and has been fortunate in that many experts have given him their time, helping him put together books on NASCAR, Camaros, Volkswagens, more NASCAR, trucks, and tugboats.

Editorial Reviews

Overall, we were pleased with the book and think it would make a fine addition to any small-block lover's shelf...or better yet, workbench.
