a good small block chev book
« on: June 21, 2011, 07:27:08 PM »
Hey all,
            A mate of mine has a nice collection of excaliburs.

If you have not heard of this car they are a true classic style sports car that run a small block chev.


He is having an issue with the small block in one of them not running right and asked if I could recommend a book for him.

Ive never really needed to trouble shoot engine's so I dont know of a good book. Can anyone recommend one for me.

BTW its an old school carbie fed small block.

Thanks Mick

I just gave my friend a phone call to find out, and found he has already sorted his earlier problem which was carby related.

He is just after a good informative book on small block chevs (C3 era) explaining different options, specifications & history etc etc.



Thanks again and sorry for the earlier confusion.

Mick
