This is one of the of the best books for a novice or even a seasoned mechanic that I've seen so far...........
http://www.amazon.com/How-Rebuild-Sm.../dp/0912656891
mine has many grease stains and smudges on many pages and many notes written in the margins.......I've rebuilt quite a few 302/351-W engines, but still have the book open on the work bench when assembling an engine.....has all the torque specs, crank/rod journal specs and mucho info including many helpful photos!!!!!!!!!!!!
