I know there is a library in the SolidWorks site for CAD models submitted on there. I don't recall any engine parts modeled for Mopars. It would be neat to have a place on Moparts where people could upload models. I'd prefer people to post STEP files to make it easier for those that don't have access to SW. I haven't had any problems bringing in STEP or IGES files into any CAD program. I find the STEP files to be smaller than IGES and I don't think IGES is updating their conversion kernal.

Do you make parts?

Didn't Hot Rod Magazine recently have the blue prints for the Hemi Block shown in a recent issue? You could make a model from that if it's complete. I'll have to look that up and I could model it if it's all there.

I tinker with some stuff down at the shop....Been wanting to do somthing a little different and engineer all the brackets and such myself to fit MY car instead of a generic kit that never fits anything. A model of a procharger might help as I already have the block somewhat dimensioned:

I have an F1-R ProCharger kit, the cog belt style, for a small block. I'm going to be selling it. Its only been mocked up on a block. It would be great for getting dimensions from

.
It was within the last 2-3 issues.
Here's a link to part of the article show the one of the prints for the heads. I highly doubt all the prints are there to build a model from, but I'll look again.

There is a lot more to that head drawing than that one view. A friend, Stewart, scanned that drawing and sent me a copy in sections. I think the original drawing is about 8'-10' long, probably 44" high. The auto industry doesn't seem to believe in multiple sheets. I worked a contract gig with Atco Products last year and we did some replacement parts for Ford and the drawing format was 44" x 72". All sorts of views all on one sheet.

Agreed. I don't think you're going to get a complete set of drawings for a block or head from anyone. I used to work on turbine blade designs for Pratt & Whitney and there are many drawings for a cast part. The easiest method would be to 3D scan a block and/or head and create the model from that. You still wouldn't have the internal passages for the cooling fluid but at least you could have a nice model of all exterior features. I was visiting a company a few years ago when I was looking at buying a 3D printer for the company I work for and they demonstrated how they could scan a part (Holly dominator main body in this case) and create a solid model from it. Pretty neat technology.

---

Yes it is. I'm a machinist/CNC Programmer. I use SolidWorks and CAMWorks. I make a lot of my own stuff. I always wanted a 3D model of a BBM so I could mock up more of my ideas.

I would be interested as well, I had a few things modeled, but lost the harddrive.


Having a block scanned would be great, maybe some folks would like to chip in and split the costs, if there was enough interest.

---

That would be worth looking into

As stated Automotive drawings are very long I have a couple of complete brand X engines, and they are probably 20ft OAL and I just put the machine into auto fold, and it makes a book out of them or you can leave them as a roll. I actually have a few of them scanned as well, just no Mopar ones.

I started my BBM model and the oil pan and timing cover bolt holes are all pretty good, but I do not have the valley, the head deck, and oil & water passeges detailed. When the weather turns bad for winter again I will resume my little project.

So if someone has a model of their Mopar parts I would be willing to trade as I detail mine out further. Obviously its a lot of work. Place up the road will scan a block for about +$350 or so...I should have them do one of my Hemi heads this winter.

I'd be in for $50 of the total costs.

Also, I have the head deck modeled with bolt holes , bore locations, oil passage location, water passage locations, and dial pin locations. Shoot me a pm with your email and I will get a step file to you.

I'll match your $50
