Recommended Olds Literature?

I see these two books online and plan on buying one, which one do you recommend on experience?






Now that I have your attention what other books do you recommend? Please no body and paint books because I have my Grandpas wealth of experience. I am interested in engines, transmissions, upholstery, swaps,and Fabrication.

Or maybe YouTube accounts ?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

Both are good. Both are from Bill. The revised has all the updates. Bills getting my virgin 455 this summer for a 650hp stroker build.
There are several CDs out there on how to build TH350 and TH400s. I prefer rewindable visually opposed to print as the valve body valves and other complex components can get confusing with regards to proper orientation. The CD allows you to go back n forth a thousand times to get a good visual on those intricate details.

Thanks. I like videos too. So the author of the book is going to do your engine?

Yep, when I can pull enough scratch together. Hopefully over the summer. He's quite backlogged. He's well known as one of the best Olds engine builders out there.
