About CarTech Books

CarTech was founded in 1993 and is based in North Branch, Minnesota. In 1995 it purchased the S-A Design line of books from Larry Schreib and Larry Atherton, whose first title, The Chevrolet Racing Engine by Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins, had become a leading reference on high-performance engine design and assembly.

Since then CarTech has published titles across a wide range of makes and models of classic and modern cars, trucks and motorcycles.
