Best Book on the 428FE
Hi Guys: Offhand, what is the best book out there for the 428 FE engine, it workings and modification? Do any of them cover modification choices, etc?

Some Books
The "must have" book for all FE enthusiasts is "How to Rebuild Big-Block Ford Engines" by Steve Christ. Not much on modifying but good for parts identification and building the motor. Most of the modifying info I have is pretty dated but still interesting. "Ford Performance" by Pat Ganahl is fairly good but my copy is dated 1988 so it isn't really cutting edge. Another really interesting book that comes up on ebay now and then is the "HI-PER PARTS" book from ford. It was published in 1968 and has lots of good 428 Cobra Jet information. A little more modern identification info is in "High Performance Ford Engine Parts Interchange" by George Reid. And a couple other I'll mention just because they are on the same shelf are "Engine Bluprinting" by Rick Voegelin and "Chassis Engineering" by Herb Adams.
Beyond that ask questions here and at http://www.network54.com/Forum/74182 Good luck, I'm anxious to see what other people post to this, good question! Chuck Brandt |
I'm prejudiced, but Steve Christ's "How to Rebuild Your Big Block Ford" is the best hands down. Even Ford uses the book as reference on parts from the 332 through the 428, even the 427 side oiler. Parts such as LeMans rods, tunnel-port heads and all that good stuff are covered. So, original FE parts and how to assemble them are covered, but Steve does so in a detailed fashion.

I looked briefly on Amazon and couldn't find the Steve Christ book, but I found it here:
