The first and second generation of small-block Chevy engines have been around for more than 60 years, and a byproduct of the design's extremely long production run is that there is a confusing array of configurations that this engine family has seen. Did you know that the famed Chevy 302-ci engine used in early Z28s was mostly a simple 327 bore with a 283 stroke? Yet to be original, you need to have the original DZ stamped 302 block, and the properly coded crankshaft for that particular application, as Chevrolet changed journal size from 1967 to 1968. Are you confused by which crank and block combinations yield 377- and 383-ci displacements? Which engines are internally versus externally balanced? When main and rod journal sizes changed as well as engine mount locations? What swaps back and forth between Gen I and Gen II engines?In this updated edition of Chevrolet Small-Block Parts Interchange Manual, these mysteries and many more are solved. Included is information on cranks, rods, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, ignitions, and more. It also includes casting and serial number identification guides to help you through the myriad of available parts in salvage yards, at swap meets, and on the internet. Also, solid information on performance modifications is included where applicable. If you are building a salvage yard stroker engine from individual parts, looking to make a numbers-matching engine for your collectible muscle car, or simply looking to see which parts work together, Chevrolet Small-Block Parts Interchange Manual is a must-have addition to your library.

The Constitution was one of the US Navy's first six original frigates, ordered as a counter to the Barbary corsairs in the Mediterranean. Fast and heavily built, she was nominally rated as a 44 but mounted thirty 24-pdr and twenty-two 12-pdr cannon. Her most famous encounter, after which she became nicknamed 'Old Ironsides' due to British shot being seen bouncing off her hull, involved HMS Guerriere, which she smashed; the same treatment was meted out to HMS Java four months later. Now the oldest commissioned warship afloat in thw world, she is berthed in Boston Harbor. The 'Anatomy of the Ship' series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details and a record of the ship's service history.

From the 1940s to the 1960s, the microcar posed a challenge to the large companies that mass-produced cars to uniform designs.

The problem with most generalized Buyer's Guides is their lack of detail. In an attempt to cover every model that was ever constructed, much of the necessary data has to be omitted. While these books make interesting reading, the potential buyer that has already determined which model he or she wants to purchase, will be sorely disappointed with the woefully inadequate information they contain. Not so with this book! More than just a Buyer's Guide, it's a complete guide to the purchase and ownership of a 308 series Ferrari and includes a wealth of data for the owner once the car has been purchased. Consisting of three major sections, the first section helps the reader understand the history of Ferrari and the introduction and development of the 308 series cars. The second section will help you decide how, what, when and where to purchase and the third section will assist you in keeping your new acquisition in top condition with hints and tips on maintenance, repair and even modification. If you already own a 308, then this book will help you get the most enjoyment from your ownership and will prepare you for what potential buyers will be looking for when it comes time to sell. A well-written book by a respected authority on late model Ferraris and no 308 enthusiast should be without a copy.
