Motor rebuild book?

What is a good book or repair manual for rebuilding a 335 series motor? Specifically a 400.

I bought this book from
Amazon Amazon
. It is good but not perfect. But I always start with a factory shop manual before adding other books.

I also have that Tom Monroe book and would suggest you get a copy.

. You'll get the BEST info on rebuilding a 400 right here in this forum... read through some of the past postings... or ask a question... a 400 isn't any ordinary rebuild if you want good results... there are some special problems from the Ford factory to overcome... everyone above will agree with that...

Thanks guys, I've learned more reading on this forum than I've read in most books so far, especially on tips for building up my 351m to a 400. I need to get a book mainly for torque specs and general info.

That's where the factory shop manual shines. I'm not saying Monroe's book may be wrong on torque specs, but I know that Clymer and Chilton books sometimes have errors in them.
