Do you have a Chevy small-block V-8 with an unknown history? Trying to figure out its size and original application? Wondering what year it was built? Until now, questions like these could only be answered after hours of studying countless manuals, charts, and outdated books.

Chevrolet Small-Block V-8 ID Guide has all this information in one place in an easy-to-understand format. Author Pierre Lafontaine takes the mystery out of deciphering small-block codes and casting numbers. This book covers it all, including:

• Small-block history and evolution.
  
• Vehicle identification number breakdown.
  
• Date codes.
  
• Casting numbers for cylinder heads, engine blocks, crankshafts, and manifolds.
  
• Stamping prefix and suffix codes.
  
• Information on marine engines, oil pans, rocker covers, flywheels, starters, and more.

Illustrated with more than 100 detailed photographs and diagrams, this guide shows you how the parts look and where the numbers are located. Here is the essential information for restorers, collectors, and engine builders.
