I don't know exactly where to get it, I am borrowing it from a friend.
Some of the articles cover things like internal engine friction, valve events and engine operation, valve spring dynamics, air flow through poppet valves, volumetric efficiency using mean inlet Mach number, induction refinement using steady state flow benches, plus articles on Ford's Mk II 427GT induction system and the D.O.H.C competition engine. Lotta math but if you can hang with it its quite an education.
