there's a number of manuals out there available,
Gregorys do one,(opinion - not really a good buy - too expensive for the limited 'generic' type info) price 30-40
Max Ellery does an EF-EL manual that is a bit more comprehensive then the Gregorys(opinion - a fairly good compromise manual, marginally more expensive then the gregorys which is offset by the fact that the additional detailed info can & IS of use) price - 50ish
Then you have the factory manual which is extremely comprehensive as you'd expect, but you will pay for it. You may also need to purchase 'supplementary' manuals to cover specific areas not contained in the main manual too(gearbox supplement etc) price120+
note the prices are a guide only - I don't know the exact costs.
I know Haynes have also produced a manual though I haven't seen the content so wont comment.
If you are looking where to buy any motoring books, I know 100% you can get them thru HERE (if not in stock they will get it in)they do online sales, as do pitstop books or a number of other places.

Max ellerys is the only one that covers the V8 as well as I6....

Can order em for a reasonable price at www.pitstop.net.au about $40 IIRC. Genuine ford EF-EL something like $250...
