(More customer reviews)In the world of uncompromised racing engines, few people outside of the manufacturers have real knowledge- this certainly is the case for Cosworth engine conversions covered in Des Hammill's book. Having spent plenty of money in my own dyno sessions, Mr. Hammill got to the point of real working engine packages nicely with head porting, cam, and carburettor specifics; he could have saved me plenty of time and money in development had I known of his work earlier. What he describes can be extrapolated to other Cosworth conversions including Formula Atlantic (Ford), Cosworth-Vega, and Cosworth-Pontiac engine street/race tunings. It's indeed a rarified atmosphere at this level, only recently broached by Honda with their S2000, and you won't find Steve Jennings writing about his top-flight engine tuning/tricks anywhere! Its a world where 2-valve motor rules-of-thumb and assumptions don't apply: just ask David Vizard.Complaints? I do wish the DOHC section had been more than just a single chapter, but what's there is gold!

Expert practical advice from an experienced race engine builder on how to build a high-performance version of Ford's 4-cylinder engine. Whether the reader wants a fast road car or to go racing, Des Hammill explains, without using technical jargon, how to build a reliable high-power engine using as many FoMoCo parts as possible and without wasting money on parts and modifications that don't work. Although the text of this book specifically relates to engines with carburetors, many of the modifications described are appropriate to turbocharged/supercharged engines and engines with fuel injection.
