Well to start things off, I am not a noob with cars. I've been around cars and mechanics all my life. I do just about everything on my cars with the exception of engine/tranny work. Up until this year all of my experiance has been on domestics (especially General Motors vehicles). I know a far share on frontend, brakes, suspension, and electrical systems, but I would like to learn more about the drivetrain. Eventually I would like to build an all-motor drifter (not in six months, but as a long term goal). I'm well familiar with the candy coated "howthingswork.com" version, I want the meat and potatos of knowledge. So....

Do you have any recommendations on what books I should pick to educate myself on engines and transmissions?

thanks
