Chevy Big Blocks : How to Build Max Performance on a Budget

This illustrated guide explains how to build high-performance Chevrolet big-block engines. These engines have powered millions of vehicles since 1964, including many well-known Chevrolet cars and trucks. The author, experienced engine builder David Vizard, shows how to achieve major performance gains without excessive cost.

The book goes beyond basic tuning and examines each engine group in detail. It explains how to build powerful street engines capable of up to 850 hp while still running on standard 91-octane fuel.
A key focus is the big-block's long-known limitation of small valve size. Vizard shows how to reduce intake-valve shrouding, how cam-timing events work, and how to choose the correct valve overlap for better efficiency.

Further chapters cover pistons, rings, connecting rods, and the complete rotating assembly to ensure strength and reliability. A dedicated section presents several example engines built for maximum performance. The book also reviews modern aftermarket parts and advanced tuning methods.
