I was wondering if any of you have drawings of the frame, engine, etc. for AutoCAD? If not, if anyone knows how to get access to some prints, I could draw them in spare time and distribute to those who have the program. Hell, if we could get some prints we could break the work up and then have an assembly drawing where you import all the individual pieces.
This would be hella badass if you were trying to move things around in the engine bay to make space, or wanted to relocate componets. It would make test fitting almost unecessary.
Let me know what you guys think

SOLIDWORKS! that's the CAE (computer aided engineering) program we using in the mechanical engineering department at Texas A&M, and i love it. it's very easy to use. i made a drill press over the couse of one semester, complete with like 40 parts and 3 sub-assemblies, all assembled together in one drawing and free to move based on restricted criteria.
you might be able to find a copy on direct connect or kazzaa, i did
i'd attach my animation of the drill press if it was small enough, so a picture will have to do:

Well, there are tons of different programs, I guess people should use what they are comfortable with and capable of using. Most of these programs have ways to import to each other. Maybe if we could find a common format we could do this?
