Manufactured from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, Ford FE engines served as the large-displacement drivers in the Ford lineup. With the FE standing for “Ford Edsel,” these engines were designed to increase displacement over the earlier Y-Block engines. As the model grew, the FE performed admirably as a heavy passenger car and light truck engine—as well as became quite accomplished in performance circles.

Part of CarTech’s Workbench series, Ford FE Engines: How to Rebuild walks readers through rebuilding these legendary engines, including identification and selection, disassembly, cleaning, parts cleaning and assessment, machine shop processes, selecting replacement parts, reassembly, and start-up/break-in techniques. Author Barry Rabotnick also shares tips such as performance upgrades, trouble spots, and special tools needed—as well as a few of his own professional secrets.

Starting in 1969, the Chevelle SS was no longer its own model, despite years of residing at the tip of the Chevrolet sales spear. That can make it difficult to determine whether a 1969–1972 model was ordered from the factory with Super Sport equipment. In The Definitive Chevelle SS Guide 1964–1972 from CarTech (releasing February 2018), author Dale McIntosh discusses each model in a year-by-year format, clearing the air about what was and wasn’t part of the Malibu SS, SS396, and SS-optioned Chevelle, including discussions about plant-by-plant variances and mid-year changes.

If you want your Chevelle SS to be as original as possible, this is your guide.

Calling the Jeep CJ the most popular series of off-road vehicles ever built may still be understating the truth. In addition to being the only model equipped with a V8 engine in any meaningful way, the platform combines the ruggedness of early Jeeps with some of the advancements in horsepower of a more modern era. CJs are truly both fun to own and modify.

In the Cartech book Jeep CJ 1972–1986: How to Build & Modify by Jeep guru Michael Hanssen, you’ll learn about all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your CJ’s performance. Upgrades include suspension components such as springs, shocks, and steering modifications; driveline components including differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, and axles; engine upgrades including engine swaps; wheel and tire upgrades; aftermarket accessories; armor such as skid plates and bumpers; brake upgrades; and more.

Whether you are looking to get into serious off-roading or just want to inject a little more fun into your classic CJ, Cartech’s Jeep CJ 1972–1986: How to Build & Modify will be a worthwhile and valuable addition to your library or shop.
