Can anyone recall which issue began Dean Kirsten's article on blueprinting a 2276 build?
I think this would be a good primer toward building a motor, so need to pick up the back issues.

I don't know the first issue of that series but I know it was going in April 1998. Went for on and off for almost two years. Hope this helps

Your best bet would be to buy the engine build book. It was always a collection of the whole series of magazine articles all put together.

That's my trans builder on the 1997 issue. Not only does he build the best tranny's, but can build a beast of an engine!
