The max performance book is good for race builds, but it lacks a lot of the basics about stock or near stock maintenance. For a good outline on rebuilding, I like Don Taylor’s “How to rebuild big block Mopar engines”. It’s from HP books. Lots of the basic rebuild and maintenance is in there. Both of these and a few others are in my library, and I reference Taylor’s book more than any other. The two of those books together will answer just about everything you could ask.
