Just thought I'd see what indespensible slanted reading is on everybody's bookshelf. I know there's nothing like learning by doing, but until my garage warms up to above freezing, I thought I'd pass some time learning a little more about my favorite Chrysler products. So let me know what your favorite slant related books are - break it down by the forum categories if you like: engine, trans and rear, suspension and brakes, other...

Project Charger by Larry Lyles
This followed the restoration of a Charger and was also published in
the Auto Restorer Magazine.

I 2nd the previous post on the Tom Condran book - I got it for 2003 Xmas
I have not put it down for more than a week at a time for the last year.
That should change soon, as the suspension and brakes are almost complete now.

I got the title wrong the first time around. I've worn the cover off mine ...
Performance Handling for Classic Mopars
Another one:
Chrysler Performance Upgrades by Frank Adkins.
Covers some of the same areas from a different angle, and a lot of other things, too.

Great! Anybody else out there? There can't be only two people that have slant related reading on their bookshelves...

Ok, here are some more advanced car books in my "library". Carroll Smith goes more for the pure race cars, but a lot of the details can be applied to any car. Besides, he was good at explaining.
Carroll Smith's Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook
Engineer to Win: The Essential Guide to Racing Car Materials Technology or How to Build Winners Which Don't Break
Tune to Win
Drive to Win: The Essential Guide to Race Driving
