This updated edition provides detailed interchange information on cranks, rods, pistons, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, ignitions, carburetors, and more. Casting and serial number identification guides are included to help you through the myriad of available parts in salvage yards, at swap meets, and on the internet.

Solid information on performance modifications is included where applicable. The first and second generation of small-block Chevy engines have been around for more than 60 years, and a byproduct of the design’s extremely long production run is that there is a confusing array of configurations that this engine family has seen.
