Does anyone know of any good books that are like "dummy" guides to the 5.0 engine or Fox mustangs.
I know the basics of car mechanics and can change oil, brakes, shocks, etc. What I do NOT know are the ins- and outs- of everything. For example, I know what an EGR, IAT, etc are.....but really don't know how all this stuff works together. I know what lifters, cams, springs, valves, etc. are.....but I don't really know how the size, duration, lift, etc.....relate to one another.
Ok, if you're still following me, I'm looking for a book or something that will help guide me through the basics and into the more detailed information. Since I own a 92 that was built by at least 2 previous owners, there are parts of my car that I'm not even sure what they are anymore (example...the TB size).
Of course reading SN always yields me good info, but its hard to really grasp some things when its detailed information about such random topics sometims rather than a coherent guide in a logical manner.
I'm pretty obsessive....I really want to learn everything I can about this car so I can do all the work myself, troubleshoot, etc. I want to know how each and every little piece works.
Even if there are various books that you found useful, for example a book on V8 pushrod motors or something.....post em up please!
