Does anyone have any good performance books that they would recommend that I read for the build-up I'm thinking of?

Sorry to have such generic questions but this is my first BBF build-up.

Thanks in advance for any info.
The common offshore 552 stroker uses a 4.5-inch stroker crank, and they fit the 429/460 blocks without any clearancing. The E6TE heads bolt on; whether or not you choose to use them depends on what kind of engine you are building.

Tell us more about your intended engine build....in other words, desired hp/tq, compression ratio, must be pump gas friendly or no, how the vehicle will primarily be used, etc.
