Summary: Where's the Cleveland?
Comment: Unfortunately, you only find out this book does not cover the 351 Cleveland until you read it and the author clearly states "If your engine is a Cleveland, buy another book." That's not 'all' small block Ford engines (as the cover states) then, is it? Alright for everything else though.

Summary: How to Rebuild Small-Block Ford Engines
Comment: I found How to Rebuild Small-Block Ford Engines to be a very informative book. This book goes over almost everything envolved in rebuilding all Ford small-block V-8 engines from the 221 to the 351W, including parts that interchange with other small-block Fords and tuning up your freshly rebuilt engine.
Soon, I will begin to rebuild the engine in my '89 Mustang. The 302 small-block under the hood has definitely seen better days. It is down on power and it smokes. Now that I have read this book I have a much clearer understanding of what makes my engine do this and now I know how to fix it.
This book answered many questions I have been trying to answer since I first became interested in motors, such as, what parts should I buy for the rebuild?, what tools do I need to install them?, what machine processes should I have done?, and most importantly, do I even need a rebuild?
This book does a great job of explaning a rebuild but I was kind of bummed that it didn't have much information on performance engine builds. The book did make reference to the 289HP and the Boss and Cleveland engines but it didn't include information like how to port your cylinder heads, or how to pick a high performance camshaft. I would have liked the book to have mentioned something about how to increase the crankshaft stoke also.
This book is a bit old being written in the late '70s. It doesn't include information about the hydraulic roller cam engines or electronic fuel injection. The information in this book is still very useful despite not being current though. I personally recommend this book to anyone who is intending to do a small-block Ford rebuild or anyone who just enjoys learning about cars.

Summary: I built a 351W with this book!
Comment: I built a 351W from a long block kit with the help of this book. And the engine ran the first time!
The book points out many of the little parts that you need but which are not advertised in catalogs or magazines. Some parts guys at the local Ford dealership did not even know what some of the parts were. But you need them, all the same.
