Awesome! Can't wait to get home!

I ordered that "Rebuilding your GM 60-degree V6" book, by Tom Currao, last week from Barnes & Noble's website - http://www.bn.com . I just found out (man I love UPS's website) that the book is waiting for me!

If you guys want that book, better start scrounging.. it's out of print. I heard Amazon might have 'em, but those punks messed up my account big time, and treated me like a moron when I tried to get it fixed.

You sure it's out of print Tom?? Damn, last time I was at Barnes and Noble they had one. I should grab it in that case!

Grr.. I double-checked their website after reading what you wrote- Now they're listing it in their normal section! They didn't have it there a week ago. I paid $30 for it thru their "out-of-print" connection; now they're selling it for $16.95. Ah well, screw it. The B&N near me has nothing on automotive- of course, they also have a StarBucks coffee store attached. Damn yuppies. I should sit down in there with a moccochino (sp) and a Playboy, and see what happens. Maybe I'll come in greasy & plop down my service manual, too.

Cali, thanks for the info on that other book! Do you have the author/title handy? Maybe bn.com has that one, too.

TomP, the title is V-6 PERFORMANCE:BUILDING V-6 ENGINES FOR PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMY. and the author is PAT GANAHI. i've seen this book at amazon.com but they had it on back order i've never checked b&n.com though.
