    "This book is definitely worth reading if you're planning a rebuild, or are just curious as to what this would entail." Round Up, January 2014, Not just a generic rebuild edition, this book is a complete reference that goes into a lot of detail on every step involved in rebuilding a Ford-engine correctly. -Linechaser, May 2006, "We were glad to see a revised version come across our desk recently, now with full-color printing. Not only does the color printing make the book more interesting to read, but also from a technical aspect it actually helps when looking at inspection and detail photos within the book." -Modified Mustangs & Fords, April 2009, "This detailed, heavily illustrated manual is ideal for the master mechanic or the beginner intent on keeping his Ford running as new." -Route 66 Chronicles blob, reviewed by Jim Hinckley, November 2010
