High Performance Engines Ford Small Block

Hot Rod Magazine has from its inception in January 1948 been performance oriented. The key to high performance is the engine, and Hot Rod's editors have for over forty years kept their readers interest by commissioning articles on how to maintain, tune, repair, restore and modify the popular power plants of the period. If ever there was a golden age for American engines it must be from the mid 1950s when the small block Chevy made its debut, to the early 70s when emission controls brought an end to the musclecar era. The three major manufacturers. GM, Ford & Chrysler each supported at least one big block and one small block engine during this period which subsequently went on to become automotive legends. This book is one in our Hot Rod on Great American Engine series. Its purpose is to bring together a comprehensive selection of the best and most informative stories on one or one family of engines. it is targeted at todays younger enthusiasts with a view to letting them know what was written about their power units during this exciting period. If older readers enjoy a nostalgic trip through these pages, so be it. With 108 pages & 250 b/w photo. SB.
