* Big-block Chevy engines are the kings of the street, featuring
some of the most powerful production engines ever built.
* Many extremely valuable vintage Chevrolet muscle cars feature
big-block engines, including Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, and
Corvettes.
* Workbench Series books feature simple-to-follow, step-by-step
instruction, and hundreds of color photos.
The big-block Chevrolet engine is legendary. Making its
debut in Chevrolet production cars in earnest in 1965, it quickly
became one of the most respected and feared performance
engines on the street. Even the two-barrel station wagon and
pickup-truck engines are sought after today for swaps and
performance builds. This, combined with an active crate-motor
program by General Motors with displacements of up to 572
cubic inches, makes big-block Chevy engines the kings of the
street.
There comes a time in every engine's life when the engine just doesn't perform as it should anymore. It even happens to legendary engines like the big-block Chevrolet. Rebuilding the
engine in any used car, much less a classic Chevy, seems like
a much more attractive option when you can save a lot of
money by doing it yourself.
How to Rebuild the Big-Block Chevrolet covers the best
techniques for rebuilding classic Chevy big blocks with more
than 450 color photos and step-by-step instruction. Subjects
covered include the history of the big-block Chevy, preparation
and tool requirements, engine removal and teardown, first
inspection, parts, machine work and clean-up, final engine
assembly, and start-up. This Workbench Series book is
essential not only for enthusiasts looking to rebuild their bigblock
Chevy, but as a guide for building high-performance engines as well.
