I have Alibre Design cad and and virtual fabing up some parts and it would be great to be able to find the actual dimensions for the honda k20 and other engines. When I googled it I got alot of French sites.... French... yeah.... ok....
Anyways if anyone out there knows a site or two links would be a god send.

Yeah, well, welcome to car design. It would be great of there was some master repository for engines, trannys, uprights, brakes... but there isn't. Well, I'm sure Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford... they all have their own internal library, which they won't share.

I even have an inside connection to a guy inside Nissan and asked him if he could tell me what their new V6 weighs... nope. Go figure.
