Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Greetings!
My name is Bob Wilson, and I am the Sales Manager at CarTech, the publisher of this book. I read Scot's review, and I realized that some clarification is in order. Many of the points he makes are true, but they are true because this book was actually published in 2004, and many of the items he lists were not available then.
We recently modified the book to have color photos instead of the previous edition's black and white photos, and in doing so, the copyright date is shown as 2008. That would lead Scot to believe that this book was brand new in 2008, rather than published in 2004. Unfortunately, the only thing updated was the change to color images, and the content of the book did not change.
The previous black and white edition was also sold on Amazon, to great reviews. To get a full idea of the value of the book, you can click on the authors name and see the reviews there as well. How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s: Modifying and Tuning Gen III Engines for GM Cars & Pickups (S-A Design)
We hope to do a rectangular port edition (LSX) in the near future. As it is, this book is primarily a cathedral port edition.
Thank you.

In 1997 Chevrolet did the unthinkable: they re-designed the most popular and most modified engine in American history. The Chevrolet small-block V-8 made its debut in 1955,and with its arrival, Chevrolet instantly leaped to the forefront in the minds of hot rodders and performance enthusiasts alike. While the engine grew in displacement and technology over the next 30 years, its basic design remained unchanged . . . until 1997, when the Generation III LS1/LS6 engine design was introduced. The LS1 engine first appeared in the 1997 Corvette, and soon followed in the Camaro Firebird and thousands of full-size Chevy trucks and SUVs. This book is essential for the enthusiast who wants to get the most performance out of this engine design but is only familiar with the older Chevy small-blocks. Full-color coverage includes everything you need to know about these engines, including the difficult engine removal and installation, simple engine bolt-ons, electronic controls for the Generation III engine, and detailed engine builds at four different power levels.
