The Mopar big-block B and RB engines power millions of Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler cars built from 1959 to 1978, including iconic muscle cars, such as the Charger, Superbird, Barracuda, Challenger, Road Runner, and Super Bee. During a big-block's lifetime, several rebuilds are typically required, and this book is an indispensable guide for the process. Veteran magazine writer Arvid Svendsen takes you through a professional-caliber rebuild of Chrysler B and RB engines. Explanatory captions accompany full-color photos to provide clear, concise instructions, so each crucial stage of the rebuild process is skillfully completed.

While other books may offer a basic rebuild procedure for a common street engine, Svendsen takes the rebuild process one step further by balancing and blueprinting the engine during the rebuild, so the particular engine can compete in Stock Eliminator drag racing. As a result, you are shown how to perform a meticulous rebuild for superior performance and efficiency. Once the engine package has been completely disassembled, analyzed and evaluated, you learn how to order the best parts for your performance goals.

All crucial steps of assembly are illustrated and discussed in fine detail, so any aspiring engine builder can install main bearings, crankshaft, pistons, rods, the entire valvetrain, and all other parts. With this information at hand, you will be able to confidently pull the engine from the car, disassemble the long block, inspect all components, guide machine work, select the optimal parts, assemble the complete engine, and conduct a final shake-down of the engine. When you fire up your engine for the first time, you will have the satisfaction of having soundly rebuilt an engine that performs at its best.
