Anything by David Vizard or Alex Walordy.... they both write yerbasic hotrodding books with lots of real-world usefulness, and leave the monkey-spank out of it. You'll find how-to instructions for stuff that you can actually do and that actually works, not "We were looking for a budget backyard 1000 HP monster so we took this nonobtanium racing crank that was forged by 10,000-year-old gnomes in the fiery furnaces of Hell, and machined it to the journal diameters of a 1949 Hupmobile, and put it in this brand-new NASCAR block we had laying around in the junk heap, and made almost as much power as a stock 305 TBI!!!" like magazine articles.
Go to Summit's site, I believe they carry quite a few of them.

In a closet at my house, my dad found his old book on hotrodding SBCs... its called "How To Hotrod Small Block Chevys"
Its a pretty good book with alot of info on every aspect of building a killer small block. Its done by Bill Fisher and Bob Waar (published by H.P. Books)
I like the book alot, but it may be kinda outdated now, because its current info as of 1972
Wish i could go to a GM dealer and pick up a running 370hp 350ci sbc for $500 like they did....
