Here's a good selection off Amazon:

I have this one, which I used in building an LT-1 350 for a Chevy Vega:

Once you get to the states, check your local speed shops. They usually have a rack of books you can thumb through.

Did someone say smallblock chevy?

If you are looking to build the older (50s-80s) sbc check out books by David Vizard. Reconized as one of the most knowledgable sbc guys in most circles.

What are you planning?
If you have the money to play with the newer LSx engines you should forget all about the sbc. The LSx engines make at the wheels what most guys expect at the engine with a sbc.

If you have any specific questions about sbc or LSx let me know. I may have played with one or two before .

Cheers.
