I did model one as a uni project in about 2001 using what ever was the standard AutoCAD at the time (non parametric and all that...took me ages), not the most accurate but pretty good for show purposes#. I think I've still got it on one of my old zip discs so will try and dig it out for you, finding a working zip drive might be more difficult!. Failing that, I'd be interested if anyone comes up something else.

Regards
Iain

The models I have are of American V8's and all tend to be very different in design. ie twin cam, plugs in the heads etc.

There's a nice biturbo V8 model here I think it's free as long as you register with the site, might work as a base?

Thanks guys, i am in the process of designing an alternative inlet system in 3D CAD so it would save me a lot of time if the block and heads had already been modelled (basically i am a lazy b'stard thumbup)

Its not a show stopper if i have to measure the important features so don't bust a gut.

Thanks
