Book Description
American performance and the V-8 engine are inextricably linked. Ever since the first mass-produced automobile V-8 was introduced by Cadillac in 1914, the V-8 has been the engine of choice for America's most powerful vehicles—race cars, luxury cruisers, pick-up trucks, and SUVs. And every V-8 ever produced in the U.S. is covered in this exhaustive guide, which presents complete listings of V-8 specifications through the 2009 model year. Each listing provides general specs for the engine, as well as part numbers for basic engine components—for vehicles from that first Cadillac to the latest star of NASCAR. The book includes details on displacement, horsepower, torque, carburetion and fuel injection, compression ratio, internal dimensions, and virtually every other specification of value to collectors, mechanics and builders, and enthusiasts.

Just Customz Review
This book couldn't have a better title as it describes the contents exactly. If you are looking for information regarding V-8 engines then you'll be sure to find it in this book. The book will appeal to V-8 enthusiasts, those undertaking a restoration project or someone looking for a V-8 to put in their next big project.
 5.7 liter Dodge Hemi engine for the 2009 Dodge Ram.
The contents are divided into sections covering the major V-8 manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, AMC, Packard Corporation and Studebaker Corporation. Each section then lists the various engines that the manufacturer build or has build together with useful information such as common problems, torque, BHP etc.
I don't think this book will appeal to everyone but it you are looking for a specific piece of information regarding a V-8 then the chances are you'll find it in this book.
