Engine and Drive train blueprints, technical drawings, CAD oh my!

[Cuda416]

Ok, the title might have brought you in here thinking there would be drawings etc, but that's the thing, they seem hard to find.

So, I thought it might be a good idea to create sort of a clearing house of such drawings and documentation that people might find useful.

I'll start by poaching a big block drawing from..

Looking for 3D CAD files or detail drawings for big block mopar engines

And a small block bell housing drawing from.
Looking for Mopar 340 Block technical drawings

What else does anyone have?

I know a few years back someone posted cool hemi blueprints.

I have this from when I made some plates for my dyno stands.

What types of stuff are you looking for? I have some engineering drawings for 70 & 71's.
Also have some PDF's on e-bodies.

Anything and everything Mopar. Just trying to have a location in which people can find stuff in one place rather than looking in twenty different locations.

Of special interest to me is e-body documentation.

 

[LS-300]

Here is part of what I have on the E-Bodies. It's a long PDF file so I'm not sure it will come across but I'll try anyways.

Got it, that's a great document with lots of great info.

If you get me the drawings, I can make the 3D models.
Makes 3D printing scale model engines and parts a cinch.

That does sound pretty cool. I could only hope to get that detailed of drawings in here.

My core goal for this is to just have a thread that serves as a repository for all of this seemingly elusive information that people have squirrelled way that might be of use to people.

That drawing is hot garbage, but I'll see if I can make a part from it.

 

[Cranky]

Seems like I remember the old DC books having block dimensions....?

 

[jos51700]

God, that drawing is a train wreck. Simple part we can make in the shop here. Does this fit American A-bodies, and is it something people actually want?

it will have been drawn in 1970/71 and rescued from a dumpster at the back of the chrysler Australia factory when Mitsubishi moved in...there was no consideration given to anything we might now think of as historically relevant.

all paperwork and records the tooling moulds and presses all dumped as scrap/junk.
should fit A bodies the chassis and floor was a mid 60s US chassis

If you're going to try and sell stuff I'd appreciate you not hijacking this thread.

The intent here is to share knowledge for the benefit of members doing work on their cars.

Thanks

How do you get a full blueprint picture on here. I have a AMC motor full print.

Great question, maybe post a link to it? what's the file size?

 

[LO23M8B]

I don't have a file just the blueprint. That's why I asked how I could do it.

 

[Cuda416]

Gotcha, I'd assumed incorrectly. Best way would be to have it scanned to a PDF I think.

If you have a decent digital camera or your phone will take good pics, you could upload them? The majority of the pics I take get sent to my puter and then I can pick and choose and post what I want.

Anything I do with this is not for profit. If people here want them I might make a few, but if I charge for them, then I have to hear the phone calls about how it doesn't fit, broke off, etc.

I've found that lots of drawings these days are corrupted; people edit them through the years, don't document changes, etc. It's a *****. That piece isn't bad but it took me awhile to figure out that someone redesigned the part on top of the old one in the drawing.

Thank you for clarifying what your intent was.

We've all seen things get hijacked and I really don't want that to happen. Also, thanks for your offer to help out if people need something made.

Those old drawings weren't ever really intended for distribution that's for sure but they are still great references even if for purely historical interest.

Pretty cool idea OP. For simple brackets, once you've got it in Fusion or Solidworks, no reason you couldnt send it to a company like Send Cut Send and have it produced. Think of 3D printing but with metal parts. I was going that way for my motor mounts before I found the ones from Schumacher.

Thanks, and again I wasn't thinking about making things or selling things but more getting info to people who need the info and can, there own stuff, but yeah SCS would work really well for stuff like that. I know around where I live people advertise all the time for low production machining as well as laser/plasma cutting parts as well.

One thing I am looking for that isn't A-Body related, are pics/drawings/details having to do with e-body verts. My biggest problem right now is having to fabricate the parts to fix the inner structure where the rear interior sides. They are specific to verts and the lower parts of mine are rusted away. If I can get a good drawing or decent pics I might be able to make a hammer form and make my own patches.
