The Certified Automotive Parts

I had flipped thru book at the bookstore, but did not really get at the details. I am really into the 60’s Ford engine builds and components. I have not looked into all the engine families in this book, but right off, the book makes a glaringly important omission. They go into great detail on the 302 Tunnel Port build-up and its background and design rationale, but they totally omit the 289HD head (essentially named the original gt40 head circa ‘65/’66) that started the whole Ford Trans-Am presence. This head was the pre-runner for the 351W design in ‘69, as well as the essential blueprint for the modern gt40 casting, making it extremely relavent to the history of the small block. They were sold over the counter, along with its companion camshaft “lemans” solid lifter camshaft. The Ford Motorsport program even retained the 1.88 and 1.625 valves in their inventory for years. If the book was focusing on production vehicle engine components, it would not be an issue, but they obviously aren’t, as they chose to hit on the tunnel port pretty well. I will even let the Gurney-Weslake conversion pass since it was technically not a FoMoCo part.

The camshaft section on the small blocks is weak too, and is flat incorrect. They refer to only one performance camshaft being offered being offered for the 289/302/351W. I guess they completely forgot about the Lemans solid lifter camshaft, the 302 trans-am camshaft, and the Pro-Stock 351C camshaft that could be bought directly from Ford in the ‘71/’72 time frame. I have not gotten past the small block section, but I have already formed an opinion about it. If these were obscure part omissions, it would be one thing, but these are major omissions and incorrect data, that a writer of true Ford heritage would not have missed.

Even with a publishing date of 1999, most of the information is about pre-1980 Ford Engines. For anyone working on 1986 to 1995 Ford 302’s there is little information. Many of the Spac. tables end prior to 1975. For me rebuilding a 1995 5.0L to a 1986 Mustang GT, not much help.

This book is a wonderful source if you’re looking for STOCK interchange info on FE or small-block motors. However, if you happen to be a fan of or are seeking information on the 429/460 (385 series) motors, I think you’ll be disappointed. While almost entire chapters are dedicated to the FE motor family, more often than not the last 1 1/2 pages refer to the 429/460’s. Sure, that wierd one-off NASCAR 427 motor is neat to look at, but you’re highly unlikely to see one at the local swap meet. And even if you do, you probably don’t want to buy it anyway, due to lack of aftermarket support. This book reads like an art museum guide, extolling the virtues (or lack) of obscure parts that we’ll probably never see. Interesting, yes. Helping with building a performance motor for a street or strip car , no. Good coffee table book, but not recommended for the average info seeker.
