Default Books on modding 5.0 mustangs?

Are there any books/manuals out there that specifically cover modding the 5.0L Mustangs of 94-95? I am trying to gather my information so that when I go to buy the one I want, I will have the tools I need to start my modding process.

tools you say!!!! gauranteed you'll never have all the tools you need while modding your car...... but a set of sockets wrenches and screw drivers and pry bars are a start........oh and don't forget the ever so handy "you bangy tools"= you bangy until it frickin' comes off (hammers) as far as manuals check out 50resto.com and or mustangsunlimited...they sell books on/for specially modding the 5.0 as far as the 94-95 it should list the differences between the fox and sn-95 to watchout for but nothing to major.

There's tons just on the 5.0 alone, not to mention the rest of the body as well as generalist books on blueprinting.

I've got this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Winsor-Small-B...152862&sr=1-56

Its pretty good, though a bit of the info is outdated and many of the companies mentioned are out of business or merged. One thing I liked about it is that it goes into the nitty gritty specifics of how an engine works and why certain physical changes and part swaps effect performance.

And I have the previous version of this book:

http://www.amazon.com/5-0L-Ford-Dyno...53147&sr=1-123

This one is more parts oriented. It goes though specific exchanges and the effects they have on performance. Many of these are done on stock engines, ie just a throttle body swap or just a cam swap or just a rocker swap. In the later pages it gets into specific combinations.
