I have Andy's and Chuck Senatore's books. I have read them both. They are very good for setting up the build with selection of parts and strategies. I also have several mopar manuals. After all the strategies have been worked out, which I have done, I was looking for a "recipe book" for assembly. The mopar manuals themselves are setup in sections for disassembly and assembly for various aspects of engine building and one would have to jump back and forth through sections. If that is all that is available, so be it.
Not to equate the complexity of engine building with baking a cake as it is clearly on a different level, but when you bake a cake you have to first decide what kind of cake and get all the ingredients for your masterpiece. Then you need the recipe as to how to put it all together in the correct proportions and order to bring it to fruition. I know that is a strange comparison but it is the best I could come up with. That recipe is what I was asking about. Thanks for all the help and input. Especially your book, Andy.
I was a precision machinist for 12 years as well so I am not a rookie around a shop. I have not undertaken this without confidence that I could do it well, but you can always learn from the experts here and in literature. I am constantly looking to increase my knowledge and wisdom in all endeavors. You can expect more questions before I finish this.
Much appreciation for all the wisdom found and shared here.
