Not sure if any one book will covers everything.

To measure the bores you actually need a tool designed to do just that, you are going to measure down and around the entire bore. You're looking for it to be true within a certain amount. You cannot just measure one area, such as the top. Once you have all the information from all the cylinders, then you can determine if you need to overbore the cylinders.

I won't be getting home for a few weeks, but I have a couple good books, I'll get the info to you, Lingenfelter has a good book, it's one that I do have:

Also, how to rebuild a SBC is a book.
