John Lingenfelter has been building, racing, and winning with small-block Chevy engines since 1972, when he arrived on the drag racing scene. This book offers many of his trademark power-producing techniques that have led to victory on the drag strip as well as on the Bonneville salt flats, where he set top speed records in his class.

This book is ideal for all petrol engines not just Chevy engines.The tips and techniques can be applied to any petrol engine.
Plenty of photographs throughout and its a great read.Most engine builders and amateurs will enjoy this book.

Summary: Lingefelter's small block street motor primer
Comment: I purchased this book when it was released in 1996. I had just finished a 355 and had it running. I learned so much more than all the magazine how-to articles I read that I had to pull the motor and change the oil pump and file-fit the rings. So much of what I read in this book made too much sense. This book was reviewed in one of the Chevy rags and the first thing mentioned was the misuse of high volume oil pumps. Every street engine buildup story seems to use a high volume pump and this guy tells us not to for a good reason. There is something to learn in every section of this book. You may even sound like you know what you're talking about on your next visit to the machine shop. John's legacy lives on. He was highly regarded in drag racing, his company is still turning out fabulous street cars, and I think he was the hot rod hero for everyman. Anyone need a high volume oil pump?

Summary: The master speaks, but don't tell you all.
Comment: If you are a fan of John, buy the book. of course he was one of the best builders ever on this planet.
The book is nice written, but he don't tell you his secrets in this book.
Yes it is full of What to do, NOT how to do It, little or no specifications to bring your project to a satisfying end.
Most annoying is the fact, if it get's difficult his last sentence on the subject is.... get your (whatever part) to Lingenfelter
and we do it for you. That's not the reason for most people to buy this book.
br. Arnoud.
