I am looking for more information on engine assembly, specifically adjusting rockers and installing of pushrods, lifters, etc....

I have a lot of stuff right now, already have printed many posts from here and searched all over, but I was looking for a book or reference on assembly and adjustments.... I am reading through my manual and the performance handbook, and there is a great article in there about breaking in a new engine (thanks guys), but not adjusting valves, etc....
things most mechanics would know, and I may overlook...

Since I have decided to assemble this myself I think any knowledge on the subject couldn't hurt.....

I was just curious what suggestions you all would have....
 
I found a Chilton book on mustangs and cougars from 1964-1973. It has everything you need to do a rebuild byself. It has a whole section on how to rebuild your engine by hand using the proper tools. Here are two pics to show what i'm talking about.

Since I'm about to pull my engine this weekend, I've been reading up and this is a must for anyone who is working on a Mustang. It has came in great value to me.
