Like someone said above if you list a target ET, type of car and app weight, street, street-strip,drag only, budget, type of fuel you are planning to use, and your location we can head you in the right direction.

I just like having the books to read thru, I would suggest a 4" cast crank (they're cheap these days) & NO ONE who has ever stroked a SB has regretted it. KB 356 pistons. EQ mag heads with the LA intake bolt pattern. The Don Taylor basic rebuild manual is cheap second hand on eBay & after being on SB's for decades I still refer to it on occaision. The Jim Sylagi (sp) stroker book is OK but has quite a lot of high dollar info that I will never use but it does have some good info in it. Achieve quench (.035"-.040")

I just like having the books to read thru, I will be definitely asking questions here of course. I went through a similar situation about ten years ago, and like you, I enjoy having the books as a reference to thumb through on occasion. One I really enjoyed reading was a SA Design CarTech book called "How to Build Big-Inch Mopar Small Blocks" by Jim Szilagyi. I would also suggest reading DJVCuda's awesome build thread in the best of moparts/tech archive. It's an absolute masterpeice, both for content and entertainment. 430" small block build

Unless those particular books are different than the big block and hemi books I see talked about all the time, save your money. If you have even a basic knowledge of engine building, you'll scan through those books once and never pick them up again.

But does it have the factory CB radio.... that’s what we really want to know! Speaking of these, can the antenna cable ends be fixed? I want to use one in my van ( out of an Imperial)
