Hi, I'm thinking if someone have made a f1 engine in a cad program, and has the dimensions of all the parts?
Please if someone have the dimensions or some images that I can see, please post me an answer.

I have a full 3 view of ferraris 049 v10 in dxf, and few others which i've guesstimated.
Generally, the timing gears are a an 8mm tooth pitch, the rods are 102 to 113, the strokes are 39 to 42mm, the bores 95 to 98mm, included valve angles 19 degrees up to 25, big ends 36mm, mains 39mm, inlet valves tend to be dictated by rpm rather than bore space with exhaust valves paying the price on remaining 'real estate' 38 to 42mm.
The valve bowls are nearly non existent, almost a straight path, the valve lifts are mega 16mm upwards, thin rings, 1x 0.8 for compression, 1x 2.5 for oil.
All the internals are forged, xrayed and have perfect meturlligy, no shoestring copies to be had here unless you lower the rpm into a motorcycle type region (20 to 22 mps).
The real beauty is the packaging, Asiatech and Ferrari 056 onwards are my faves, pure art!
Drew it from the F2000 book 3 view with careful attention to front view gear mesh positioning, the side / top views were grainy and only accurate to 1mm where the front was cross referenced to the hilt.
Some guy in america buys and sells alot of ferrari v10 parts with phoney signatures on ebay, i have a gut feeling he is reverse engineering many of those parts.
Somewhere in cyberspace exists Prost Ap04 drawings in vector format, the jpgs are at gurneyflap, but oh what a prize would those vector splines be?
There are external surface models of many engines both f1 and cart that were given out for installation purposes, and lay forgotten somewhere on a pile of old cds - come on guys, give it up for f1 technical please?????
