does any one have a cad model of the LSX's for solid works??

 

C.A.D. right?

I am taking a class right now that uses programs like that. I get bored sometimes making houses and such, so I could make one if you'd like I'm not sure what solid works is though (?).

Also, are you wanting just the basic exterior? Or are you wanting me to insert a motor and interior and everything? If that is what you are wanting, that might take a tad bit of time...

 

i'm not sure if somebody is just going to give it to you...we have it in ug and solid works but i doubt my boss will just give it out.

 

how hard would it be to make something like the basic shape of it so I know what clearances I am working with?

 

a cad model of an engine block is a very extensive model, good luck getting it. It is proprietary information for GM and will never be given for free. If you do get a copy of the GM model it will not be a legal one, and if you get a copy of a different model it wont be a complete one, maybe close, but not all.

 

any one have the general dimensions then, doesn't have to be perfect just something close so I can see where my clearances need to be

 

i have an e-drawing of a corvette ls1 longblock.. not much good being an e drawing though

 

does the e-drawing have the dimensions of the LS1 long block on it??

 

are you looking for internal tolerances or just exterior dimmensions?

 

just exterior dimensions, something to give me an idea of where to mount various components for my project

 

I had one back in school. One of my teachers worked with some race team that built some kind've race car project (he never gave us the details) and he told us probably 100 times how expensive the drawings were and we weren't even allowed to have internet access that whole week so nobody could send out the drawings. My guess is it's pretty tough to track anything like that down. But good luck none the less.

 

well I just need the exterior of the block so I can check my hood clearance and also see where I need to place the other components

 

you can pull measurments off of it if you have an e drawing viewer
(e drawing is a mail friendly format you can put sw files in in case anyone was wondering)

however you cannot snap to points, surfaces or edges inside of e drawing so your dimensions would be only close, never exact.
