Tom Monroe has another book called 'How to rebuild small-block Ford engines'. Best $18 buck purchase I've made so far. I am building with new parts but the step-by-step walk through, literally down to the nut and bolt, has been invaluable to me. With a keen eye you just might spot him lurking around here at CC.
For parts Summit has been pretty good, much better than Jegs. I surf looking for good prices and I come back to Summit more often than not, when you take into account shipping costs and part availability. Check these out also...
