Could someone recommend good books on vettes/ small block performance?

I've found out recently that there are many "proven" yet unreliable sources of info on the www. This forum is great and I'd like to have more information as a compliment so I don't take everyone's time on common info.

I know the shop manual is a must, anything else?

Thanks

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

The assembly manual is a big help.

Did you get a 53-82 parts list?  If not let me know and I will send you one.

Vette(s): 1972 coupe/350 cid/mild cam/4 spd/20 ft. paint (looks perfect from 20 ft.), but it sure runs nice.

On SB performance....John Lingenfelter's "On modifying the small-block chevy engine". Summit Racing has it.

JR

Unfortunately, he's passed on (fatal auto-racing injury).
