 Hot Rod Horsepower Handbook: Big-Block Chevy
  The heart of every hot rod and muscle car is its engine, and the hottest one to have—one of the most popular high-performance engines on the planet—is the big-block Chevy V-8.
Whether you're into street machines, rods, hot trucks, or muscle cars, you'll benefit from the know-how of the experts at Hot Rod Magazine, who have concluded that there's no such thing as too much horsepower and are willing to test the limits of Chevy's Rat motor.
Hot Rod Horsepower Handbook: Big-Block Chevy is a compilation of illustrated technical information and how-to projects that chronicle the quest to squeeze ever more power from Chevy's big-block V-8. It's time to get wrenching.
