David Vizard goes pretty in depth on everything he writes. Try doing a search on him, and Im sure you'll find somthing. Also, John Lingenfelter On Modifying SBC Engines is one that I like.

Circle Track magazine contains articles that get quite a bit more technical than the stuff you find in CHP or HR etc.

There might be some interesting reading there, and some good links too.

One of the books that I have read from was "how to build horse power" It was very detailed and went into the dynamics of how the engine operated. I dont have the name of the author right now but I will look for it.

edit: Ok the book I read from, and other books a read in book stores are from publisher SA Design. do a quick search in summit for example and type in books in the search box and then click SD Design. The books are kind of expensive so what I did was I went to a book store sat down, with a pen and paper and took notes. The books are about $15 each. There are so many books to chose from ("how to build a 350 on a budget" to "how to build max performance rat motors" ) so buy the book that interest you most. Well I hope this helps out!!
