How To Build Ford Flathead V-8 Horsepower
  Ford flathead V-8 engines are more popular than ever for hot rods and street performance cars.
George McNicholl, a life-long automotive enthusiast, hot rodder, and author of How To Build A Flathead Ford V-8 and How To Build Vintage Hot Rod V-8 Engines, has compiled the step-by-step buildup information for three more Ford flathead V-8 engines for street use.
In How To Build Ford Flathead V-8 Horsepower, McNicholl documents the buildup of a 1946-1948 Model 59 engine, a blown French (SIMCA) flathead V-8 engine, and a blown Ardun flathead V-8 engine.
The book contains detailed descriptions of engine components and alternative parts along with part numbers, current prices, machining procedures, assembly directions, dynamometer information, and a section on vintage camshaft specifications. The book also features information and photographs detailing the latest flathead goodies, including crankshafts, connecting rods, intake manifolds, and cylinder heads.
Together, How To Build Ford Flathead V-8 Horsepower and How To Build a Flathead Ford V-8 are the ultimate sources for Ford flathead V8 engine buildup information.
