I just bought this book. Haven't read all of it yet, but what I've read, I really like. Very detailed, and very informative. I plan to build a Gen VI 454 or 502 for my latest street rod, and this book answeres all of my questions. Very well done and worth the money. Invaluable reference.

Hot Rod Horsepower Handbook: Big-Block Chevy (Motorbooks Workshop) Review

This a lot of magazine articles from Hot Rod. Overall I like this book and gave it four stars. I like it better than the HP books "Big-Block Chevy engine buildups". Some interesting information here but not a how to book by any means. Many builds are not documented well enough to reproduce and others are out of price range for your average home builder. I find most builds have been edited way to much and leave me wondering what was used or done to complete the build. If you have not read any magazines and do not know how to use Google it would be helpful to have for the planning stages of a motor you might want to build. However,,,,,,,,,if you are like me and need to have, or study every thing you can get your hands on before jumping into a project, then go for it.

The heart of every hot rod and muscle car is its engine - and the one to have, the most powerful performance engine on the planet, is the big-block Chevy V-8. Tapping into the know-how at Hot Rod magazine, this book offers illustrated, step-by-step instructions for building a big-block Chevy V-8-from grinding valves and selecting headers to shot-peening pistons and putting together winning head and intake combinations. At Hot Rod magazine, there is no such thing as too much horsepower, but the editors and experts are willing to test that limit - and, with this book, to take big-block Chevy fans along for the ride.

Big-Block Chevy Marine Performance Review

Big-Block Chevy Marine Performance

Finally, someone has written a technical manual for those of us who like to fiddle with modern gasoline marine inboard and I/O engines. This book has been long overdue! There exists a plethora of books on building up hot-rod automobile engines, but the marine hot-rod has been mostly untouched. Dennis Moore does an excellent job presenting the subtle differences between a car engine and a marine engine, from the carburetor, intake manifold, heads, cam, to the critical exhaust manifolds and marine headers. Though this book is based on Chevy big blocks, the principles are easily adaptable to all makes of marine engines.
I am currently building up a Chevy SB 350 to a 383 "stroker" and have found this book indispensable. I highly recommend it for anyone who tinkers with marine inboards! Nice job Dennis!
