Why not get the factory service manuals? There are two for each year, one for the mechanical issues, and one for the vacuum and electrical. Also there is a driveability manual for each year that covers all of the Ford vehicles.

There are no books about the car like information books you can buy on mustangs and chevy's and stuff. Sorry. Would be nice. I've got a few books that mention the SC, one even says its too complicated to work on so it's best left to a dealership. HA. There's a book about the history of the Tbird and there's a book with a 35th Anniversary SC on the cover about historic Thunderbirds. Both have breif mentions of the SC.

As for repair manuals, there are 3 choices:

1. Haynes (Auto Zone)
2. Chiltons
3. Ford Factory Service Manual (sometimes can find on ebay)
4. There is also a Ford Electrical manaul that goes good with the Thunderbird and Cougar Factory Service Manual.

What exactly do you want to know about the engine. It's basically the same as any pushrod engine, except it has a positive displacment supercharger and air to air intercooler. Ask on here this place is basically the #1 authority on SC's online.
