Buildup manuals?

Hello, fellow inliners. I am a newby to this forum. By my name you can tell what I drive. I have been a big inline fan ever since I started driving. Now most of my experience has been with those orange engine types, but I have been behind the wheel of this truck since it was new (307 000 kms ago). At 271 000 kms I put a new rebuilt engine in her. Very happy with it and always have been, though everything is still stock. I need to play a little bit, but still want to keep things inline. I am even considering building a Track T Roadster with an injected 300( or should I say 4.9L?).

Back to my truck though, I want to build a bit more performance into the Six. As I have said I know a little bit about the Chev inlines and I have an excellent power buildup manual for them. I need to know if any one has come across any Ford Inline Power Building books?

Just in case any of you are wondering how a Chev guy became a Ford guy. It was twenty years ago when in an emergency I replaced a 77 Cutlas(that had a 250) with a 79 LTD Country Squire wagon complete with the woodgrain. It was the best $2200 I ever spent. Since then I have been blue under the hood, so to speak.

I don't know of any books written on the 300 - there is one on the 240; but, it's a little out of date.

This forum is most likely your best source of info - great info and help all the time.

Welcome to the Forum.
