Product Description: Over the years, the small-block Ford has remained one of the most popular and widely used engines on the planet. From the earliest Fairlanes and Mustangs to the latest Mustangs and light trucks, the Ford small-block has powered them all. With the amount of aftermarket support and rebuildable cores out there, you don t have to worry about spending an arm and a leg for a quality rebuild especially if you do the teardown and assembly yourself.
This all-new color edition of How to Rebuild the Small-Block Ford walks you step by step through a rebuild, including: planning your rebuild, disassembly and inspection,
choosing the right parts, machine work, assembling your engine, and first firing and break-in.
The Workbench® format also gives you helpful hints and tips on performance upgrades, including cams, heads, ignition, induction, and more. It also points out problem areas to watch for, professional builder tips, jobs that need special care or special tools, and more. Whether you re a first-time engine builder or a seasoned professional, this is the essential guide to rebuilding your small-block Ford.

Standard Engine Rebuild Book
Reviewer: C. Villard (San Jose, CA USA), Date of review: November 30, 2009

This is a standard rebuild book, not exactly step by step outlined, but it covers most everything plus a few performance tips, nothing you cannot find free on the internet though. Sadly there is not much info on the late model 5.0 EFI which is what I was looking more for, but this will still com in handy this winter when I tear my engine apart.

this book is informative and useful to someone that has limited experience rebuilding engines. It provides usefule information on tear down and rebuild.

Caution: it is almost word for word, picture for picture identical to George Reid's "How to Rebuild 4.6-/5.4-Liter Ford Engines (S-a Design, Workbench Series)". Purchase one or the other, but not both as I unfortunately did.

This book gives the rebuilder all the critical information that is needed to perform a successful overhaul of a small block Ford engine. The text is clearly written and there are many color photos to illustrate the proceedures that have to be performed. There are also a number of spec. charts and tables that list critical dimensions and clearences. This book is valuable to both the pro and the newbie.
