Default Any V8 books like the Less Andrews / Model A?

Does anyone know if there are V8 books similar to the 2 by Less Andrews that everyone has? I bought a 34 and know little to nothing about a V8 engine and the differences of the drive train from the model A styles. Thanks

I don't think there is anything as comprehensive, but the Early Ford V8 Club has publications on specific year cars. There is one for the 33-34 Ford. https://www.earlyfordv8.org/Shop.cfm?id=17&pid=2

Look for a DYKES automotive manual for V-8 Fords

there are a few books on the early V8s search on ebay and you should have enough to get familiar

We have a DYKES manual at the restoration shop------and an 85 year young fellow named Dyke to help explain it to us. He's a huge talent source in our shop!

Thanks to all that responded to my question - I have ordered the 1933/34 Ford book and will start to teach myself what ever I can from this. Thanks again, Steve
