here are a few pics i took from the book on the torque arm to give you guys an idea how detailed the plans are in this book
Uhhh better check again Rbohm,...that link is to the first volume, and that volume contains none of the stuff as detailed in the MPHB 2.

The book is very rare, and when you find one, it's typically WAAAY more than the 28.00 the original can still be bought for, and more than likely will be in used condition for around 120.00.

When you open the link, notice that pricing starts at 94.00 for a used book, and new copies sell starting at double that.
Somebody over at the Corral had scanned and converted their copy to PDF, but the link is all fractured and you can't get it to work.
Given that the book isn't even in print anymore, I think somebody should be able to offer the damn thing for public use. I tried to find one last year when I started the Fairmont build,...and it was a pain in the ass then.
I lightly read this book last night.
As a racer I really enjoyed the sections that described the problems with the Fox Mustang front end geometry and how to correct the problems. I wish there was more comparison to well known, well setup contemporaries besides the Corvette (C4?) though, maybe another front strut car like the BMW 3 series or Nissan Z.
If you are a straight line guy I don't know if you would get a lot out of this book. The book covers suspension and touches on weight transfer in a few sections but it is likely general information you can get elsewhere. I'm not a drag guy and plan to swap in IRS so didn't read those drag racing sections that closely yet.
Does anyone have the first volume? Are the engine tuning and setup sections worth buying the book to get or is it all dated information at this point?
Didn't you write that book?Ass Ole @DTARS, He was the last guy that planned to scan it when and if he ever got his scanner fixed.
