Depending on what you are trying to do, Steve Christ's book is a good basic intro, Barry R's book - Max Performance FE Builds - takes if further, and Jay Brown's Great FE Comparo gives a good picture of the intake/engine combos and what you can expect to get.

I used Steve Christ's "Big-Block Ford" book for my rebuild. Very step-wise, which helped. There were gaps, but I was able to get any answers via Google. Overall, I'd use the book again.

Barry R has a new book coming out next month. This one is a step-by-step rebuild book similar to the content of the old Steve Christ book.
