Don't get me wrong, you are one-hundred percent right. What im saying is to learn the engine and its parts, not mod it, or do oil changes. I have books upon books I bought from Barnes and Noble about Chevy small blocks, Rebuilding Small Blocks, Complete engine rebuilds, etc. I, along with prolly a few others, thinks its great to learn how the engine works by first-hand and not by book. Your completely 100% right. These books, I still don't know half the *****. I know how an engine works, but Im just having trouble understanding the measurements in some of the things like cams, etc etc. All this talk on these forums about "adding this to my car bla bla bla .05446 bla bla bla" is like a reading a vietnamese passage for me. But first hand does its job cuz this winter, me n my pops are yanking the grandmother 305 from my car and replacing with a pre-built 383 Stroker with a TH700. That gives me a chance to know how to do cam jobs/header jobs etc etc.

And yes, my car is a banging "slipping-gears" Automatic
