Free Ebook Chevy Big-Blocks: How to Build Max Performance on a Budget (Sa Design), by David Vizard
The Chevy big-block has been installed in millions of cars and trucks over the past 50 years, including Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes, Impalas, and a multitude of trucks. Extracting maximum performance has been the pursuit of engine builders ever since this engine was new in 1964.
As a follow-up title to his How to Build Max-Performance Chevy Big-Blocks on a Budget, master engine builder David Vizard takes big-block Chevy engine building to the next level and shows how to build these extreme high-performance engines without breaking the bank. It goes well beyond basic performance techniques and delves into exceptional detail on each component group of the engine. Vizard shows you how to build the ultimate big-blocks for the street: engines that are up to 850 hp on 91-octane pump gas, which is a monumental achievement.
The Chevy big-block has been substantially under-valved, and the key to getting the best performance from this engine is to deal effectively with this design limitation. Vizard explains how to minimize intake-valve shrouding, reveals the science behind all cam-timing events, and explains how to arrive at the correct valve overlap for maximum efficiency. Vizard also covers the nuances of piston ports, rings, and connecting rods so that the rotating assembly is strong and working at its peak. Finally, a special section presents a number of max-performance big-block sample builds.
This volume includes a huge range of cutting-edge aftermarket parts and advanced tuning techniques. If you're serious about building a max-performance Chevy big-block engine for the street or track, you owe it to your engine and yourself to include this book in your automotive library.

Chevy Big-Blocks: How to Build Max Performance on a Budget (Sa Design), by David Vizard Review "Put it this way, if using the wealth of experience and information in this book net you over 25 hp over and above what you would have been producing without using it, you should consider it the cheapest 25 hp you ever gained." (American Car Magazine 2015-06-21)
From the Back Cover The Chevy big-block has been installed in millions of cars and trucks over the past 50 years, including Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes, Impalas, and a multitude of trucks. And extracting maximum performance has been the goal of many engine builders.
In this follow-up to his previous Chevy performance book, master engine builder David Vizard takes big-block Chevy engine building to the next level. But he shows how to build these extreme high-performance engines without breaking the bank. The discussion goes well beyond the basic performance techniques and delves into exceptional detail on critical components of the engine. The Chevy big-block has been substantially undervalued, and the key to getting the best performance from this engine is to effectively deal with its design limitations.
Vizard explains how to minimize intake valve shrouding on the block and unlock at least 20 hp. He also reveals how to arrive at the correct valve overlap for maximum volumetric efficiency. Heads must properly flow an enormous amount of air so selecting the best heads for a setup are detailed. Vizard covers the nuances of piston crown shapes, rings, and connecting rods to ensure that the rotating assembly is strong and working optimally. Chapters also include lubrication, fuel injection, single carb and tunnel ram intakes, ignition, and exhaust. A special section presents a number of max-performance big-block sample builds.
About the Author David Vizard is a revered engine builder and acknowledged Chevy big-block engine expert, which is why GM contracted him to develop several engine packages for the Chevy big-block crate program. He has authored more than 30 highly respected engine-building and automotive titles, penned about 4,000 magazine articles, and contributed scores of web articles to popular sites.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book full of interesting ideas with dyno results to back it up. By Heath bar I will start off by saying that I ordered two big block books, this one was on backorder, and after reading the other one that arrived first I was dissapointed in the other book. I have only built 3 big blocks myself along with a few other engines, and I usually do my homework before I build them, and the first book I read I felt I didn't learn anything, I feel I could of written it.Then there is this book, now that has arrived I am pleasantly surprised. It was packed full of new information that I would of never thought of. I wrote down many things to include in my next build that will improve performance in both hp and torque. He goes into great detail on free block mods,(some old, some new), piston mods, rings, bore finish, lifter sizes, new main seals, balancers, lubrication and windage, pushrods, springs, cam overlap (LCA), etc. David included a wealth of knowledge in this book from his decades of experience, and after reading it, I have decided to buy the first one as well. He not only explains his theories, he also backs them up with real world dyno results to show you what you might expect from the extra effort.I will say this book assumes you have already build some big blocks and are simply looking to improve your performance/skills. If you have never built a big block, you may want to also purchase a book or assembly manual that shows you how to assemble it. However, if you have built some before and want more info, then you will really like this book.If there was one thing I was a little dissapointed about, it would have to be the cam specs. He goes into great detail of how much LCA he believes you need and why, however, doesn't go into much detail about the other cam specs. He mainly recommends you pay $50 or simply buy a cam from his friends engine service using David's COS Spec cam software he wrote after years of engine testing and development. Granted I am sure this is an excellent service that took years of hard work to offer, and if you buy the cam from them the $50 fee is waived, but I was hoping to learn more from the book to help me select the cam myself like I usually do. On the other hand, after he spent all the time and money developing the software, I do believe that is what he uses himself to select a cam, and he is simply offering that service to the public, rather than offering the software to the public.With that said, this book is still 5 stars because of all the info he does pack into it. This book is not just a rewrite of old tips and tricks, this book is worth the read and I feel even a pro engine builder would benefit from it. I have built several engines, seen a lot more engines inside and out, and have family that races for a living and yet I haven't seen many of the tricks and info he puts into this book.

As per usual ,David Vizard writes a clear and easy to understand book that explains some of things that make a BBC unique and powerful. I highly recommend this book IF you are serious about not making good power , but GREAT power with a BBC. I even found some things about building a BBC that can be used in building SBCs.

Hawkins Having read the first edition, I was surprised this was not just a rehash with updated part numbers. This book seems to touch on things not mentioned in the first edition and expands on things that were. I would advise reading the first edition before this one.
