Are there any books that give a play by play description on how to build this engine? It's a block only and will go into my 71 cutlass. I'm looking to go stock to mild upgrades.

 

I like the one described in this thread:

I bought that book and found it very informative. Gives recommendations for varying levels of performance and step by step build up tips. I'll parrot Norm here and suggest that you talk to the "competent machine shop" of your choice as well before moving forward on your project.
