Looks to be an awesome read.
Cool! Good to know they are starting to arrive.

I think you will pick up a few bits of information here and there, there is really good info on every page actually. If there is any portion of the text you think needs to be explained better, shoot me a PM.

Just got mine last night in the mail. Quick question, the 402 is 4.000" bore x 4.000" stroke correct? If so, I found a typo

Yep I have the wrong stroke listed it should be (4.00X x 4.000) - Thanks, I will submit that for the next printing, one of the other moderators already brought it up last week. I actually intended those notes for me to keep track while discussing CID options and meant to delete them actually. I had a table with the dimensions at one point, I don't believe it was published.

I was told some mistakes would get by the editing process.

Actually the stroke was listed wrong. The bore was listed correctly @ 4.000 and the incorrect stroke of 3.622 was listed instead of 4.000.

Anyway, awesome book thus far. I didn't mean to put you in the spotlight for an error, just curious because I do not know much about these engines and wanted clarification. Thanks!

I got the book. It looks good. I glanced over it and was happy to see PTV clearance is in there and the pushrod length was covered.

Cool, I hope it helps your install out a little better. LMK if there is anything I can explain better, I think I covered everything decently.

Sounds good! I'm glad it is finally available. I have waited about 10 months for it to be released!

Default Saw it in person!

I was up at the Mid America Motorwerks Corvette Funfest this weekend in Illinois and they had the book on the display. Damn that's on thick book! I paged through it (as much as they would let me) and it's packed with info. I like it because it's not a bunch of "canned" pictures with minimal non-applicable text.

It's broken down into specific chapters that will make this "the" reference book for do-it-yourselfers.

Cool that you were able to check it out already! I'm about to order a few extras up, I'll bring one to you at the LSX race.

You sound like my friends when they attempt to work on their car without me around! Are you sure you don't work in Lubbock? j/k I don't think you'll have any problems!

Well I guess portions of it were thought up on the throne, so that would be fitting. I won't admit how much I wrote there.
