[QUOTE="6lsickl6, post: 1441985, member: 576903"] good question. there are a few places... i learned because my father a chevy mechanic & hardcore muscle car enthusiast bought me a clear plastic model engine with working parts. if you get one of those it will commonly come with a little book showing you every part of an engine of your choosing. it will show all parts, how they work & what they do. everything from the throttle body to the torque converter & everything in between. now there will still be allot to be learned like compression ratios & cam lift... after i finished the model my dad let me help him & my brother build hit turbo 383 small block & then i got to help him tune his blown 454. but if you start with a model engine kit it will fill you in enough to get you understanding most of the car jargon you read about in muscle car magazines [/QUOTE]
