   I flipped through the book in the area of the car. If some good things, much better deal than 80 points on Ebay page. Most of the accessories are missing words (switches and jumper cables speedometer neutral, for example). There are sections examine parts 3rd party. A half dozen 3rd party contributions FE, Edlebrock, for example, are reviewed in several pages. It looks good, but there was no mention of the fact that none of their contributions will work with the population of Autolite carbs. Therefore, $ 10 for the book can cost $ 300 for an error of purchase. Rating: 3 / 5

   Even with a publication date of 1999, most of the information is pre-1980 Ford engines. For those working in the 1986 to 1995 Ford 302 limited information. Many Spac. final tables before 1975. For me, the reconstruction of a 1995 5. 0L a Mustang GT 1986, does not help much. Rating: 2 / 5

   I bought this book to learn about 429 engines and 460 (including 460 in large letters on the cover). Information on particular 429/460s head is low, the tables are partially complete and the housing numbers are not consistent and sometimes quite unacceptable. It would be stupid to buy parts based solely on that reference. 429/460 material makes engines after 1975. For the price, is a good value, I just wish it was more accurate and complete. Rating: 3 / 5

   This book is a wonderful source if you are looking for information on the Stock Exchange of PA or small block engines. However, if you happen to be a fan or looking for information on 429/460 (385 series), engines, I think I’ll be disappointed. Although almost whole chapters devoted to the FE engine family, no more frequently in the last 1 1 / 2 pages refer to the 429/460 ‘s. Of course it is strange field 427 NASCAR engine is clean-looking, but you are very unlikely to see a change in the premises are located. And even if you do, you may not want to buy anyway, because of the lack of aftermarket support. This book reads like an art museum guide, extolling the merits (or lack) of dark rooms will probably never see. Interesting, yes. Helping to build a performance engine for street or strip car, no. Good coffee table book, but not recommended for the applicant’s information to the media. Rating: 2 / 5

   Hello, I just read the new book was announced in a recent “Ford Mustang” magazine. The book is entitled “High Performance Parts Ford Motor exchange” of George ReidThe book includes 9 small blocks and 12 large blocks of 221 to 460 CID. The book is well organized, with the first 9 chapters in the small-block engines in Chapter 10 to 18 in the major. Chapter 19 is all about joints and fasteners. It offers much more on these topics than you might think. It gives a long list of table sizes and seal mfgr. part numbers. (Fel-Pro). He did the same with ARP fasteners and AMK and complete kits. Chapter 20 is devoted to Stroker kits and 21 shows the reader how to calculate the compression ratio, Cubic inch displacement and the optimal size in the carburetor CFM Let me say that many tables list the identification numbers really help set m good part of my food properly (Turin 1970). For example, the table shows the radiator fans Ford part no. , ID. , No. of blades, type of clutch or not, the diameter of the fan, and the center hole. This same level of detail or more is given in the tables for the following: Motor-identification tag decoder engine block identification and specifications. Crank-ID -Flywheel/Flexplate-chefs and valve specifications. -Contributions in carbohydrates. -Rod-Dealers-harmonic balancers Alternators and Starters, Radiators Exh. Pumpsie water collectors quickly realized this book has much more to offer than the “exchange” of information. Very few facts in the text and the subtle features and changes occur in many pictures! I’ve never seen so many pictures of engine performance super-rare and rare Ford, gathered in a book that presented here. If I could say something about this book that stands out. . . . . would be that there is very little “hide.” The book is rich in detail, with emphasis on “details.” Oh, one last observation. If you think of himself as one of these authorities “absolute” to “FE” engine or “small block” or any other family of Ford engines ……….. Consider this book as something that brought together the expertise of hundreds of experts like you! Most likely to run across something that did not know or completely forgot! Sincerely, Kevin Castops – This is not a promotion, a review of the book and it is my honest opinion. I’m not connected in any way with the author or publisher. Yes, I really am restoring a Ford Torino 1970 (weather permitting). Rating: 5 / 5
