> and your going to accurately model the block and head in a day??? wtf are u superman? not to mention u have to take all the dimensions by hand. do u have some sort of laser scaner?

I’m not pulling all dimensionality(no major bosses, webing etc, bellhousing stuff, etc.) No need for that now. Again, it’s not going to be a 100% accurate model for the motor(AKA I’m not going to be using it to CNC billet blocks for a real car :lol)

Been working with SW since graduating HS and now I spend most of my work day developing CAD parts, so it’s kinda second nature at this point.

No I don’t have a scanner. Wish I did though. The one I want in size that would be appropriate for what I do here would cost far to much for me to justify. I have outsourced some stuff to a couple different companies to test rendering the kit car bodies and related complex structures. Good success so far. The process saves an immense amount of time indeed.
