The Buick Free Spirit Power Manual

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1875139643

Excellent book. Copyright 1980, but this is the revised edition (198?).

I have thought about getting that one. I do have this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=748688133
Very informative. Also has porting and polishing templates for stock, stage I, and stage II heads. Brought to you by the same great people that brought you the Buick Indy race car motors.

I did a little checking and Steve Smith Autosports is still around. They publish " The Buick Free Spirit Power Manual" and another book "Building the V6/Vega" both written by John Thawley.

The Good News:
Both are still available and cost less than they did back in 1982!!!

The Bad News:
They screw you on shipping "$7.00 for the first item, $8.00 for two items, and $10.00 for three or more items."

This would be a good deal for someone to make a few $$$ by buying a bunch and reselling either here or on ebay. See the books here (They have a special on a SBC book as well if you into that kinda thing.)

I don't have this one yet, but it is supposed to be very good (and big).

It's $28 thru Bell's website, but they too want $7 shipping. $35 is retail, so order thru a local bookstore.

Amazon.com has Corky Bell's Maximum Boost for $24.47. Shipping is about $4, but if you order $25 or more, shipping's free. They also have Turbocharges by Hugh MacInnes and V-6 Performance by Pat Ganahl.

I already had those books, so I bought this:
Supercharging, Turbocharging, & Nitrous Oxide Performance Handbook I'll let you know if it's any good.
