Heads, cam, LT1 intake- now all I need is know how.

Hello everyone. I received my LT4 hotcam from the dealer today. I already had Trick Flow CNC 23* heads with the 64 cc chambers. I also have 1.6 RRs and am going to buying the LT1 intake conversion kit. Now all I need is a good manual. I changed intakes last year to an Accel with SLP runners and I followed the 87 service manual, Chilton Book, and Haynes manuals with barely any snags. This project is going to be more complex, so I am wondering, is there a book or manual out there that you would consider the "bible" for these kind of projects? I know there is a book called "Modifying the Chevy Small Block" or something along these lines. What kind of reading do all the engine experts recommend? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but.... there's not really a "manual" that tells you what to do.

Read this post though, for something you should check before you go too far with those heads and that valve train which will give you just about the same lift as in this other post about 2 posts down from yours. https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=216485
