High-Performance Ford Engine Parts Interchange (S-a Design)

Reviewed by Janette A. Rawls on 2010-02-02  •  Reviews (6)  •  Read Full Review

I had flipped thru book at the bookstore, but did not really get at the details. I am really into the 60's Ford engine builds and components. I have not looked into all the engine families in this book, but right off, the book makes a glaringly important omission. They go into great detail on the 302 Tunnel Port build-up and its background and design rationale, but they totally omit the 289HD head (essentially named the original gt40 head circa '65/'66) that started the whole Ford Trans-Am presence. This head was the pre-runner for the 351W design in '69, as well as the essential blueprint for the modern gt40 casting, making it extremely relavent to the history of the small block. They were sold over the counter, along with its companion camshaft "lemans" solid lifter camshaft. The Ford Motorsport program even retained the 1.88 and 1.625 valves in their inventory for years. If the book was focusing on production vehicle engine components, it would not be an issue, but they obviously aren't, as they chose to hit on the tunnel port pretty well. I will even let the Gurney-Weslake conversion pass since it was technically not a FoMoCo part.

The camshaft section on the small blocks is weak too, and is flat incorrect. They refer to only one performance camshaft being offered being offered for the 289/302/351W. I guess they completely forgot about the Lemans solid lifter camshaft, the 302 trans-am camshaft, and the Pro-Stock 351C camshaft that could be bought directly from Ford in the '71/'72 time frame. I have not gotten past the small block section, but I have already formed an opinion about it. If these were obscure part omissions, it would be one thing, but these are major omissions and incorrect data, that a writer of true Ford heritage would not have missed.

Editorial Review :: Covering both big and small block Ford V8 engines, this first-ever book on the subject provides the same type of information that was sold extremely successfully to Chevy enthusiasts covering their engines. Includes factory high performance parts, interchangability between Ford Windsor and Cleveland engines, extensive coverage of the 302 and 351 series, as well as the 390 through 460 engines, factory casting numbers, and more. For high performance enthusiasts.

The story was mediocre at best. The acting was unrealistic. The entire movie was long, drawn-out and depressing. At best this is a portrayal of a woman that lived only for herself and her foolish ambition got her killed.
