exhaust flange CAD help

Any of you guys happen to have an accurate cad of a 289-302 exhaust flange? I could really use one especially in a .dfx file. I would be greatful for any help!

Thanks,

Eddie

 

If I had one singe friend with a Ford engine, I'd draw one up for ya. Unless you want to send me a gasket. I'd be embarrased to go buy one.

 

If you have the dimensions, I'll draw up the file for you.

 

This is where I loose it on modern tech. By now anybody with a manual mill would be done with making the flanges and maybe welding the headers.

 

Stainless is a little tougher to work on the mill and when you have more than a couple of sets to make it makes more sense to cut them on a cnc.
As for doing things the old way...dont jump to conclusions. Take a look at my posts I have hand built several entire car bodys and frames from scratch as well as made my own tools to do it with. I just figured if somebody had a file already done it would save me some time.


And by the way if you didn't like using modern tech you probably wouldn't have a computer to post stuff on this forum!

Thanks all the other responses I do appreciate the help.

I like CNC just fine when it's called for. Don't know how many flanges you plan to make. During the 33+ years I worked as a Machinist for United Air Lines I got to cut my share of stainless and some more exotic stuff. Didn't have a CNC then either. My question was only about the time spent looking for the diminsions. Take it back, I did diminsion a Pontiac head gasket once so a guy could punch out some on a CNC punch press. I cut mine on the Bridgeport

 

Sorry no SBF flange. I do Hemi's mostly, using a plasmacam

 

Fair enough. I build hotrods and hotrod related stuff for a living and plan to make a about 20 or so. I can do wonders with metal forming but have to say I am lost when it comes to machine work. I have always had a lot of respect for people who can do things that I can't. 33+ years says alot about your skill level. If someone had a Cad file drawn up already it would have been a lot less time spent working on the computer (which I am not good at and don't really like) and more time in the shop making the parts!

one of the big header companies has those drawings on their site....I was just looking at their bbc drawing last night. sorry I dont remember which one.

 

Most folks don't have a mill, but I do.
