Review
Discussing car engines can, of course, be a yawner for many people - even ardent car enthusiasts. This book refrains from going overboard, and even technical information is presented in an easy-to-understand and often colourful way...This is a terrific book, and I'm hoping the author will find other engines to write about so that we can enjoy a second volume. --Pittsburg Post-gazette
Product Description
At the heart of every great car, there lies a great engine. The high-performance muscle car; the high-mileage family car; the high-speed race car: no matter the vintage or voltage, the torque or the task, the car with the power to move Americans--and the world--boasts an engine of remarkable ingenuity, dependability, and power. "American" "Horsepower: 100 Years of Great Car Engines "pays tribute to 25 outstanding American-made engines valued for their raw horsepower or their design simplicity, their longevity or their design innovation--or, in rare instances, all of the above. Bringing an auto enthusiast's touch to the subject, author and photographer Mike Mueller details each engine's conception, creators, specifications, performance records, and more. His knowledgeable, accessible text, accompanied by historical images, crisp detail shots, and studio-quality photographs, conveys with precision and unfailing interest the driving power of the great American engine.
