Mopar performance books

[TrxR]

Has anyone ver read any of these ?? I was thinking of buying
"Big Block B/RB Engines" part # P4876825 For info on buying and building 440 for my Dodge Dakota.

P.S Would this have all the different Casting numbers ????

That is a great book for the B/RB engines. To many of us, it is the B/RB bible.

Don't forget, if you have any questions while reading that book, many of us here can give you the answer.

I tried ordering that book today. The dealer tells me that they will try to get it, but they come from the distributor direct, and have been backordered for months.

Are there any other sources for this, and other mopar books?

Koller Dodge has one in stock for $23.17 + S&H

Those books are a great place to start. Once you get a motor or two under your belt you'll realize that they are outdated. But, they are certainly the first book to buy.

I bought one from Mancini a month or so ago. It came within a few days.

Great books!..when you get it go through it with a sharpee and black out all part numbers so you won't be tempted.

I would agree with ANDYF some what on the matter. Most of the info in there is old. Most things wont change but some do. Like cam grinds. I think new technology has really helped in some cases. Also they only want you to buy Mopar performance parts for every thing. No way! They have quiltiy issues, I would rather get my pistons from JE,Ross, Speedpro than there over priced stuff. But in general this is a good book. I look at mine more than I though I would for sure.

ALSO Order a Year One Book on B/E-Bodies!
There free and packed with all kinds of need to know stuff. I find my self grabbing it as much as the Mopar book. They have exploded views of tranny,rears,engines and cover alot of mopar history.

The Small block book has a great ignition section in it, don't know what the big block one is like.... also has some good info on years of blocks, head casting #s, etc...
