David Vizard and CarTech books
Sounds like I'll need to look at them. I have a very good collection of books now,but more never hurts!
Can you give an example of a tip you found helpfull?
I'm slowly learning the black arts of cam-shaft kung-fu. 70% of the members here probably don't even have a good idea of what kind of cam shaft to use asides help desk tech suggestions or off the shelf.
I learned about plasma boosters.
Adding insulation/thermal proof foam to a manifold between the splash guard and mani to keep heat down. Learned what single and dual planes do. Learned some tricks on porting heads. Doing some neat **** with carbs.
I learned this long ago, but the lifter valley, you can epoxy a wire mesh screen to prevent further damage to the motor in event of SHTF situation.
Neat tweaks and exhaust tricks. The guy mostly speaks about 5.0 fords and chevys but it's not geared towards them, its more of a general engine building thing that has stuff that applies to any gasoline engine. Once I get a hold of a car to work on and the engine, ill share a lot of the stuff I learned and you'll probably get to see me port heads, knock off casting flanges, smooth the block out for a smoother finish.
If mopar didnt offer the 48 degrees angle blocks.... I'd have just did a seasoned junk yard block build...... but you seriously can't ignore how much potential their new r3 and r4 blocks have.
