Building a small block ford..info/book?

[allcarfan]

What 'book' is best to learn how to build a smallblock ford. I Understand how everything works, I understand where everything goes, but I have no idea what clearances there are, what tolerances there are, torque specs, etc. What book can I purchase that will show me all of this?

search amazon for "how to build a small block ford"

I cant remember who wrote it, but it was pretty good. much better than the haynes manual.

That is "How To Rebuild Your Small Block Ford" by Tom Monroe. Its always the starting point...great book, but it was written in 1980 so there isnt any roller-block-specific info in it. Still the best reference out there for beginner-to-intermediate rebuilders!
