Ever hear of Smokey Yunick? He was Mr. Smallblock. Do it right, or don't do it at all. If you want good, correct answers, start with Smokey. Had several books out, this is one.

That surprises me about the Mark I 348/409. As I recall, the whole idea for what ultimately became the trimmed down Mark IV big blocks was to cut the weight down from the Mark I so could have big block power in Corvettes to go up against big Fords and Chryslers without messing up the 55/45 front to rear weight ratios for handling too much. The Mark IV changed it to 60/40, as I recall, and the Mark I was going to pretty much not make it a handling car at all because of its weight.
