Chevy Power Manuals... Does anyone know what
each edition has in it? I lknow that sounds dumb, but I read here where each edition has different aspects of the cars in some of the other chapters. Thanks!

THe one I have is Chevrolet Power Edition 5. It show chassis modifications to make to stiffen the frame all the way to beefing up the tranny and rear end and setting up the suspension. All about stuff you need to do to do some serious road racing. All the pages start with 6 like 6.1 to 6.32

I don't remember where but maybe someone else will know... But you can upload the current version in PDF format for free.
I'm pretty sure it came from the Chevrolet Parts Division page.

Pretty extensive in my addition showing all the recommended Corvette mods (gussets, fillets, trailing arm notches, replacement dog bones, etc.,). Vehicle dynamics gets into the "why" things are done as they are done.

The book Toddalin is referring to is one of the first versions from the 70's. I have all power books but I don't remember what version had the chassis mods in it. (and yep... it did cover the Cosworth Vega).
