Book
I can recommend "Military Maintenance for MB/GPW 1941-45" edited by Robert V Notman. 375 pages.
The book is a compilation of articles from the wartime ARMY MOTORS publications. The articles describe how to tweak the Jeep and in some cases they describe the science behind what goes on.
Did you have any trouble removing the head studs in the block ? I made a stud remover , my own design and it works very well. I used an old file , cut it to make a wedge. Apply heat to the stud lower section . Most people go for installing all studs as the later Jeeps did have. I found that the new studs I bought are not a good fit in the block, too loose. Think the threads in my block are distressed somewhat , as you undo the old studs , they have crud/rust on them which can damage the external threads in the block.
