Engine Rebuild Book
What's a good small block rebuild book for a stock rebuild. I know I can put 'it' together without the book, but I also know the book will have many tips...

Here's a video that will jump start you from JC Whitney. Part number ZX131732B. The guy in the video is geeky and somewhat entertaining. He has a second video out that builds on the first and gives you tips on performance tweaks.
Also give this book a read: Engine Blueprinting : Practical Methods for Racing and Rebuilding by Rick Voegelin.

Pick up both of the books described so far. Good insurance.
