How to Rebuild the Small-Block Mopar: 273, 318, 340, 360 c.i. LA & 5.2, 5.9L Magnum Engines
  Small-block Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge V-8 engines have come in a variety of vehicles since 1964. These powerful, durable engines powered everything from high-performance 'Cudas to Chargers to dependable Dakotas and Ram trucks.
How to Rebuild the Small-Block Mopar is the most comprehensive book on small-block Mopar engines ever released, covering 273, 318, 340, and 360-ci LA engines and 5.2 and 5.9L Magnum V-8s.
Author William Burt uses color photos and descriptive text to teach readers the complete rebuild process from removal to break-in.
This book describes ways to increase the performance and efficiency of your Mopar, and also stops to point out the unique steps required for carbureted and fuel-injected versions of the engine.
Topics covered include removing your engine, tearing it down, inspecting and selecting parts, choosing a machine shop, and assembling the engine. Special sidebars cover torque sequences, cc-ing heads, calculating compression ratio, and painting engine parts.
