From the Back Cover
Over the past five decades, the high-performance small-block Chevy has made history on the street and track. In this all-new edition of How to Build Max-Performance Chevy Small-Blocks on a Budget, David Vizard uses his 50 years of knowledge, wisdom, and practical experience to reveal the latest techniques and the best equipment for producing maximum horsepower on a limited budget. With the information in this book, you can build a small-block Chevy for a fraction of the price of a speed shop engine. In thorough and entertaining fashion, Vizard explains how to select the complementary parts for an optimal package, so your engine runs reliably and meets its performance goals. He examines how to select the optimal crankshaft, connecting rods, and piston combination. The considerations, options, and cost of stock and aftermarket blocks are discussed in detail. In particular, Vizard delves into selecting high-flow heads to suit your power ambitions and internal parts. He also sheds light on the intricacies and operation of camshafts, and easy-to-use charts take the guess-work out of cam selection. In addition, exhaust systems, ignition systems, nitrous oxide, and lubrication systems are covered in detail. A special section on ten real-world engine packages clearly specifies the parts package, cost, and performance outcome. It’s easy to build a maximum-performance small-block Chevy with cubic dollars to spend, but if you’re on a budget, this book gives you the tools to build a 400- to 800-hp engine on an affordable budget.
