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.

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 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.

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

I will be scanning some small block stuff when I get time to do so. I intend on doing a head, block, and timing cover at some stage this year. I am also going to do a 904 trans case while I am at it. Might do some intake manifolds if I can get my hands on them.

Emails sent guys.
Also, could you please let us know once you get the SB and transmission stuff scanned. That would be awesome to have.

I have the ability to convert stp to XT files. You may also want to look at downloading a file converter online. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few free softwares available.

I tried to attach a SW file, but it wouldn't take it. We will have to find another place to upload them. Here is a JPEG of the part.
