The Mopar big-block RB and B engines have powered
millions of Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler cars from 1959 to 1978,
including some of the most iconic muscle cars the Charger, Superbird,
Barracuda, GTX, Road Runner, Super Bee, and many others. Over the course
of 50-plus years, these engines have required and will continue to
require rebuilding, and this book is an indispensable guide for the
process.
Veteran magazine writer Arvid Svendsen
documents a professional-caliber rebuild in this latest Workbench®
Series title. Full-color photographs accompanied by exceptionally
detailed captions with clear, concise instructions guide you through
each crucial stage of the rebuild process. You will be able to
confidently complete the rebuild of an entire engine, which includes
pulling the engine from the car and disassembling the long block. In
addition, you are shown how to inspect all components, guide machine
work, select optimal parts for a specific performance level, assembe the
complete engine, and perform a final shake-down of the engine.
All crucial steps of assembly are shown and
discussed in exquisite detail, so you can install main bearings,
crankshaft, pistons, rods, lifters, push rods, and the entire
valvetrain, heads, intake, carb, and all other parts with confidence.
Once the engine is installed and the ignition key is turned, you will
have the satisfaction of having soundly rebuilt an engine that provides
years of strong faithful service. This book is a must-have for any Mopar
enthusiast.
Millions of Mopar big-blocks are in owners hands

modified engine builds.

rebuild process.
