How To Build Max-Performance Chevy Small Blocks On A Budget

Renowned engine builder and technical writer David Vizard turns his attention to extracting serious horsepower from small-block Chevy engines while doing it on a budget.

This book is an all-new color edition of a previous best seller. It contains the latest engine-building techniques, profiles current technology, and includes today's affordable parts and engines. Vizard performs ten engine builds, which include dyno charts and parts lists. And it's all done at a nominal cost.

High-Performance Chevy Small-Block Cams and Valvetrains

This illustrated guide by Graham Hansen explains camshaft and valvetrain function, selection, and design in a clear and practical way. It begins with the basics, showing how a camshaft works with the rest of the engine and valvetrain.
Key terms such as overlap, lobe centerline, duration, lift, and cam profiling are defined and explained. Differences between roller and flat-tappet cams are also discussed.

The book covers all major valvetrain components, including rocker arms, lifters, valves, valve springs, retainers, guide plates, pushrods, and cam drives. It explains how to degree a cam and how to select the best camshaft for a specific application.

Later chapters focus on matching cams to cylinder heads, analyzing airflow through ports, and testing results on the dyno. Detailed illustrations and practical examples help readers understand complex concepts.

High-Performance Chevy Small-Block Cylinder Heads

Cylinder heads are among the most critical components of any high-performance engine. For street engines, investing in quality cylinder heads often provides the greatest performance gain.

Although the small-block Chevy engine is well documented, detailed information on cylinder heads is harder to find. This book guides readers in selecting the right cylinder head for their application, covering Gen I and Gen II small-block Chevys, with occasional reference to Gen III and Gen IV models.

Drawing on the best available resources, the book combines practical knowledge and informed estimates, acknowledging that much of port design and airflow management relies on experience as much as science.

Following the approach of its predecessor, "High-Performance Chevy Small-Block Cams & Valvetrains", it begins with fundamentals before exploring advanced concepts. Topics include airflow principles, extensive flow-bench testing, production and aftermarket heads, rebuilding and assembly procedures, and basic porting techniques.

How to Build Big-Inch Chevy Small-Blocks

Building a big-cube small-block allows you to achieve the torque and horsepower of a big-block without the added weight, cost, or complexity.

This book provides a step-by-step guide to selecting the best OEM or aftermarket block, crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons to create a high-performance big-inch short block.

Graham Hansen also explains how to choose the most suitable cylinder heads, camshaft, intake, and exhaust systems for a big-inch engine. The final chapter presents seven different big-inch combinations, complete with dyno results to illustrate performance gains.

For small-block engines, increasing displacement has become the most effective way to achieve serious power. Affordable kits make the process accessible, and with the guidance in this book, building a big-cube engine is straightforward.
