Gravesen lined up for Real Madrid's glamorous Galacticos and enjoyed colourful spells at European giants Hamburg, Everton and Celtic. Remembered as a cult hero at all of his past clubs, he is a truly fascinating individual. After abruptly ending his career and disappearing, he re-emerged years later in bizarre circumstances in Las Vegas. Did he really lose $54 million at cards? Did he really bring dynamite to training, and spend his summers in a dark basement? Known as a 'unicorn' due to his mysterious life, this is a fascinating, helter-skelter journey into the mind of 'Mad Dog'.

The first and second generation of small-block Chevy engines have been around for more than 60 years, and a byproduct of the design's extremely long production run is that there is a confusing array of configurations that this engine family has seen. Did you know that the famed Chevy 302-ci engine used in early Z28s was mostly a simple 327 bore with a 283 stroke? Yet to be original, you need to have the original DZ stamped 302 block, and the properly coded crankshaft for that particular application, as Chevrolet changed journal size from 1967 to 1968. Are you confused by which crank and block combinations yield 377- and 383-ci displacements? Which engines are internally versus externally balanced? When main and rod journal sizes changed as well as engine mount locations? What swaps back and forth between Gen I and Gen II engines?In this updated edition of Chevrolet Small-Block Parts Interchange Manual, these mysteries and many more are solved. Included is information on cranks, rods, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, ignitions, and more. It also includes casting and serial number identification guides to help you through the myriad of available parts in salvage yards, at swap meets, and on the internet. Also, solid information on performance modifications is included where applicable.
