289/302 Ford V-8 engine
gbritnell:
Gentlemen, A very fine builder who posts on one of the other forums, Terry Mayhugh, finished his version of the 300 inline six from my drawings and his modifications he was looking for a new project. Many of the fellows on the forum came up with ideas. He kind of settled on making a Ford 289/302 high performance engine. When I built my engine many years ago I never made formal drawings for it but rather a whole box full of sketches and scribbles. At that time I hadn't been schooled in CAD but at this point in my life I'm fairly proficient at it so I dug out all the information I had and started making models in Solidworks. Terry and I have been sharing information as he comes up with his own version of that engine. After many, many hours of deciphering my sketches I was finally able to produce models and print them out on my Creality CR-10 V-2. So far I have the block, heads, intake manifold, timing cover, water pump, bellhousing and oil pan. In most cases I tried to model the parts as close to the originals as possible but on the heads I made the porting much like it would be on a model. So here's some pictures of what I have created thus far.

George,
Very nice. Are you going to build another one? Will you be offering a set of prints? I still have some 90 5.0 long block parts laying around that I can take measurements from if you need any. I realize that the 5.0 is a different block due to the roller hydraulic cam; but there are enough similarities that dimensions can be inferred.

Lovely 3D Prints George - I would call those a Double Success :praise2:
..as you got both the Model(s) and the 3D Print right (the later can sometimes be a pain in the proverbial ...).
Per :cheers:
Greg Tev:
The 3D prints look great, I hate to think how many hours of printing you did.

great pieces of modelling and 3D printing !
