Fellow LS1Tech-ers:

I'd like to put a call out to all of you for comments on my new book, "How to Rebuild GM LS-Series Engines." It's my first book and I really put a lot of effort into making it the best it could be, so I'm anxious to hear how everyone thinks it turned out.

For those of you who have it, I'd like to hear your feedback regarding anything and everything. For example, some areas I'd like to hear your thoughts on are:
-layout / ease of reading
-technical accuracy
-any typographical errors you may have noted
-whether anything is "missing" from the book that you would liked to have seen
-etc.

You'll also note that I mentioned ls1tech.com in the source guide and included it in the source guide of the book - which says a lot about how highly I regard the opinions of everyone on this site. Thank you in advance!

 

How about a copy to review? I did not even know there was a "newer" ls book out.

 

ditto

 

Where can we buy a copy?

Many LS1Tech sponsors are starting to carry it. For example, Exotic Performance Plus:

^nice. ordering mine as we speak

 

I heard about this but haven't seen it anywhere yet. I'm ordering mine also. a tad late though since my block is going together this weekend lol. but it'll be a good read

 

scratch that. I forgot I added it to my amazon wish list and the g/f said she just bought it for me today

 

I picked one up a few weeks ago. EXCELLENT book well worth the money. A must have for any LS1 owner.

 

I'll have to pick up a copy, but I thought it was cheaper to buy a built forged shortblock than to buy the forged parts and rebuild yourself.

 

Just ordered mine from amazon. Should be here Thursday.

 

Awesome!!! How bout an autographed copy.... lol

 

crap im going to pick one up!

 

sweet just bought it from amazon... much cheaper then EPP

 

Excellent "how to" book. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

I would love to see a book based on the installations most have done here. Engine in car cam swaps for f-body and y-body cars. Steps like how to remove the steering rack, valve springs swaps with heads-on engine, etc. Basically, an LS1howto.com in book format.

 

great idea ^^^

 

Its a great book. I ordered mine back in June and got it a few days ago.

Very well written. Each step is described in detail and has great pictures of each step.

The icons that identify a critical step, precision measurement, ect only show that you took the time necessary to do this project right.

I especially like Figure 2 in Appendix B. The layout of the book for me is spot on. Its easy on the eyes, and the color pictures are great.... (something I wish GMHTP would do with all pics.....) and the shear volume of pictures is fantastic.....oh...nice shot of you on page 84....good to see you place an emphasis on safety......

For me personally... I would have like to have seen more focus placed on the tuning aspect of this build, however, I realize this book was not intended to focus on that.

If your articles for GMHTP are the cake...this book is the icing.

Very well done.

will i be able to build my own short block after reading this book w/ the right tools?

 

You'll be able to build a complete engine with this book in hand. Grab a copy, you wont regret it.
