so now that i've got a bunch of stuff ordered for my build, i know i am gunna end up missing something, like gaskets and stuff, but i definately wanted to get some info on the books out there for the mod motors.

the books i've been lookin at are the chilton/haynes of corse. i've been thinkin about getting both. i already have a ford service CD for 2001, but honestly it doesnt give me everything i want.

does anyone out there have sean hylands "How to Build Max Performance 4.6 Liter Ford Engines" book? is it any good? i am looking for something to help me in the process of taking a bare MMR shortblock/MHS heads (once they get here) and re-assembling some of my cleaned up salvage parts from the previous motor back into a whole motor in which i can hopefully turn some serious HP out of.

its one thing to pull the motor out and rip everthing off, its another to put everything back together again lol, im def gunna need torque specs too.. good thing i gots some good torque wrenchs.

 

PM me your email address I can hook you up with some info

 

I have 2 files for you when you get around to PM'n me. Im goin out for the night so I'll check back tomorrow. One file is a .pdf of all specifications and torque. The other is a complete assembly of the motor. Both straight from Ford in .pdf form so make sure you have adobe

 

I sent you a PM. Thanks in advance

 

If you guys want to PM me to have me send it to you, include your email address lol I cant just say ok!! and magically teleport it to you

 

I have Sean Hyland's book and it is good. It is geared specifically for performance though. The same publisher(Cartech books) puts out another book on rebuilding a modular. I have that too and it is helpful. Both have tq specs in them. I actually want to make copies and laminate them and keep them in my tool box for quick reference. That will save me from dirtying up my book.

 

thats good to hear. i might get them later, but at this point i dont think i'll need em. the files that whitefox gave me are freakin awesome! everything i could ever need.

 

Thanks again WhiteFox. They really were great.

 

I have the Sean Hyland book. It's good as far as helping to understand and pick out different mods and what they'll do (tons of dyno graphs and comparisons between different parts) but it is not a tech manual in terms of doing the actual assembly of anything.
