Try this one:

"How to Build Chevrolet Small-Block V-8 Race Engines" by Bill Tarrnat and Chris Hawkinson.

Motorbooks International Powerpro Series.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...685424-2675113

Chapter 7 has 36 pages and 50 pics. on short block assy. The rest isn't bad either.

FWIW Jim, I was working at R&M when they put these books together... alot of top-notch info in there from an excellent group of guys.

Take care,

Been keeping busy Jim! Things are really going well right now which means, zero time for me. Funny how that works isn't it?

No teasing, I'll be around a little bit... not too much but you have got to be used to that by now right?
Besides, how many Hotcam questions can a guy stand to answer? LOL.

Take care man!
