Got Andyf 's How to build Mopar big - block book yesterday, looks like it might refresh my old timers disease. Andy,haven't read thru it yet but it's nice that you included manufacture brand and part numbers. I think that'll help a lot of guy's.

The first batch of books that I received are all spoken for but I'll be ordering more for myself. I'm not really set up to sell to individuals but if a few people want to buy signed copies from me I'll figure out a way to do it.

Amazon has the books as do Mancini Racing, Hughes Engines, etc. I'm hoping Mopar Performance adds a P number to it so people can buy it at the dealer.

It seems pretty likely.

I read it Wednesday/Thursday, enjoyed it and appreciate the effort that went into it.

Nope, there are not any pictures of me in the book. There is a shot or two of my hands where I'm working on stuff but none of my face. There is supposed to be a picture of me on the Amazon.com author page but I don't think that site is up and running yet.

Well lots of people must be ordering it because it is #1 in one category on Amazon and #2 in another category. Still #19,000 overall so I don't think Oprah will be calling anytime soon.

Senatore's book came out at least 8 or 9 years ago and I have ben waiting for the sequel he promised...guess hes gone on to bigger and better things..lol. Maybe Andy's book will take up where Chuck's left off..hope so.

Hmmm, maybe I should've left that info out of the book?

Book is #1 in a couple of categories on Amazon so it must be selling pretty well. I'm new to all of this so I'm not too sure what it means but #1 is probably good news.

Pre-ordered mine back 5/20 and finally got it today. Loving the color pictures. It makes it easy to determine what details are being talked about in the captions.

Got mine in the mail on saturday! Excellent info and GREAT pics! I'm a little surprised the Howard's priority oiling, EDM solid lifters weren't mentioned. Seem to be working great for a lot of users,including myself! Thanks for the book,Andy! RandyB
