Just wanted to say thanks for the solidworks links above, those are of great use. I am in the process of doing drawings in inventor and some simpler ones in cad, once again thank you!!

Any links for the LS7 would be awesome too!

Finding dimensions needed to draw a complete engine based on what you find on the internet is next to impossible. I attempted to draw a SBC with dimensions from the Chevy power book, along with pretty much everything I could DL related to SBC. Even from the Chevy power book, some dimensions were off by over an inch

The best method Ive found is to remove each part and model it individually. This takes forever, but you know its correct because the part is sitting in your lap. I used a set of dial calipers and a 12" aluminum rule. When I did the FASE engine we rechecked it with the new FARO arm and I was within .100". Plenty close enough for an engine to chassis assembly

All of my work is with AutoCAD

wow thats really impressive, in fact I havent seen anyone else on the net who has done that. Props to you man. Is that a 350?? Any chance you'd share the cad file?! I know thats prolly askin for too much, I mean I cant even imagine how much time you put into that, but I would just love to play around with it.

Im going to find an LS1 or take it out of mine someday and do the same, thats still pretty incredible you did that with only a ruler and some calipers!!

Pocket would you be willing to share the dimensions for the Chevy small block crankshaft bolt pattern?

I'm designing an adapter to swap a Diesel into a Jeep, and I need this information for my flywheel. Do you have both the 1985, and 1986 patterns?
