About this title

From the Back Cover

Understanding which engine parts can be exchanged with others in their respective “families” can aid a builder tremendously in the design phase of a rebuild project. What author George Reid has done for Ford enthusiasts is to research and collect a huge amount of this valuable information and organize it here in the High-Performance Ford Engine Parts Interchange. Several Ford V-8 engine families are represented, including the popular Windsor, Cleveland, FE, M, and 385-Series powerplants. With a nod toward high performance, Reid has also included information on the legendary Boss engines, and also some factory-crafted high-performance goodies and aftermarket components. Which engine blocks provide the best basis for a performance engine? Which cylinder heads can be teamed with these blocks? Which connecting rods should be sought out, and which should be avoided? These questions and countless others are all answered with confidence, backed by the author’s many years of hands-on experience. All of the critical engine components, including the blocks, cylinder heads, and connecting rods, along with crankshafts, pistons, valvetrain, intake manifolds, carburetors, ignition systems, exhaust systems, and cooling systems are all covered in great detail. As a reference book, High-Performance Ford Engine Parts Interchange is invaluable―it includes casting number data, date code information, and Ford ID tag decoding info. This book is a must-have for anyone planning to design and build a truly high-performance vintage Ford V-8 based on factory parts.
