Hi, If you have this book sitting on your shelf collecting dust, I will pay you to photo copy me the 2.8 section. (and anything else pertaining to building up a 2.8

How to Build and Modify Ford 60 Degrees V-6 Engines by Sven Pruett

or does anyone know where I could happen to DL a scanned copy of this book in PDF?

thanks.
 
seems u gota register first, not worth the effort for me :(
 

Have you been able to get this book from here without your A/V going berzerk on you? were you able to get it without getting sent all over the place on a wild goose chase of enter your credit card here?

if you answer YES to those questions thanks for responding and at least trying something and being very good at it.

If you got the book PM me and I will give you my email address and maybe you would like to share the wealth and send me a copy?

thanks

If anyone else might have a lead on this book please feel free to give it a try.
 
Go to 3.8mustang.com, v6power.net, and/or supersixmotorsports.com They are a v-6 champions and the principals of mods apply to pretty much all v6's the same, except fo rthe assholes who tell you to buy a 4.2l. The 2.9 is pretty much in a world of its own but im sure there are a few people there who are pulling power out of them.
 
Usually I go on an extended rant about how useless that book is--but with a 2.8, it is useful.

I sold mine on EBay several years ago and it went for about $100.

That guy looks pretty young to be the Sven Pruett that wrote that book.
 
that book now on EBAY is going for over 200.00 i have seen it as high as 235.00

Holy cow! I think they should reprint the book if demand is that high to warrant $235 for a paperback. Even $100 is high!
 
mabey we should torrent the book after all :dntknw: not like sven or the publishin company is gona loose profit cause the book is out of print anyways
 
Yes I agree... if anyone has this book collecting dust I am sure many ppl would love to have a scanned PDF copy. as far as I am aware of they only ran one printing of it then pooof it disapeared from print :( there are 2 on EBAY at present for 145.00... tooo rich for my blood... i can get half the ignition system for that coin....

cheers
 
I'll torrent it onto my other computer tomorrow just to make sure it isn't virused.
 

You're right.

That book is crazy. I bought it new for like $15 at Walden Books. It was absolutely worthless--it laments the fact that the 2.9 and 4.0 have fuel injection and no carb set-ups available. It has these diagrams of cylinder head ports--like you can paint-by-numbers a successful port job. Sure, the guy is a brilliant engine builder. But it doesn't mean the book is useful. Unless you have 20 sets of heads and a flow bench and a test track, what good does all of that do you? By modify he means modify--not bolt shit on.

I have spent 10 years trying to convince people that book is not for them. I even explained it in my Ebay auction. A far, far better book for 2.9/4.0 owners is the Charles Probst EEC-IV book. The engines described in Pruett's book are for archaic racing classes. Ford is shitting themselves because SCCA just approved Honda's 1.5L for Formula Ford--now called Formula F because it isn't a Ford monopoly anymore. Those new Hondas are going to kick the shit out of theose old Ford engines. Ford knows this and has decided they will develop a competing engine. SInce apparently Mr. Pruett is a key guy in SCCA, I think he is more modern than his archaic book.
