I do have a specific plan with one of these engines. I am not asking to only get more knowledge, I plan to put it into use in the form of an old 1930's race car recreation.

I would need the most intelligent and sturdiest straight eight bottom end for this as I have seen what happens with 5-bearing cranks when you ask too much from the engine.

Motors Repair Manual from the early fifties sounds interesting. How do I know I've found the right one online? I'd assume there might a number of books by this name on the market. Who wrote it? When published? Etc?

Thank you for the replies.
