Default Wrong engine book!

Hey guys i ordered the small block book a couple of weeks ago, and recieved the big block ford book. I was wondering if i could use this for things like lifters, and pushrods. You know, the stuff common in all engines. I will get the small block book soon. I know that i cant follow the torque specs either.

Well it will tell you the basics on how to work on an engine. They are all the same workings, big or small block.

Can you either get your money back, or trade it in for a small block book? I don't think I would refer to it for anything.
