Engine rebuild literature/ refernce

DAKOTA7720 · Mar 16, 2010

Can anyone suggest a good book/ reference guide for rebuilding a 289/302? I did one with my uncle once, but that was years ago.
What is the bare minumum cost for a 302 crate engine?

There are a bunch of rebuild books for small block fords or you can get a factory manual for the bronco.

Tom Monroe's book is good:

I've never read it, but I have seen a lot of people on other Ford-related sites recommend this book as well.

The Monroe book could definitely benefit from some update to better
cover 80's roller cam, 50oz balanace, pedestal rockers, EFI,...
But all that aside it's the greatest reference for rebuilding a 60's/70's
small block Ford. It's the first [and likely only] book you'll need.

Do they have a book on the 170 I6 motor?
