Worth the investment and a very good place to start with your Gen III/VI rebuild project
Received the book about a week or so ago and am 1/2 way through the first read (far enough along to have developed an opinion). The book touches on Gen III/IVs ranging from high h.p. aluminum block LSs to cast iron LMs, LQs etc. I have found to book to be a good planning resource and at the very least a good starting point for making your plan. Graphics are very good and explanations at this point seem satisfactory. Necessary tools etc. are illustrated and explained in sufficient detail and recommended (possibly sponsored or at least favored) sources are provided as well. For a manual the text will well written and well edited. Explanations are easy to understand and the author does a good job of avoiding overly lofty technical details that in the end do not really help the average builder. Attention to necessary details are however well explained and cost savings or h.p. adder alternatives are made easily available.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good for stock rebuilder information, LS Engine only
Doesn’t have all info that I was looking for. For instance it doesn’t give torque specs for clutch. And it also doesn’t show where steam lines go or how to wire the coils.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
