I've uploaded a step file of the blown hemi 331 model to Keep's cad library - I can't vouch for the dimensional accuracy of the hemi engine as I...
Gentlemen, I thought I should contribute to this incredible thread, how and where can I put my 3d model of a blown 331 hemi with t10 tranny? It is...
Well it's been ages since I've posted anything here, unfortunately design development has slowed (new baby arrived in early Feb :)) and parts...
Here's an update, I've mostly just added some nice visual touches to things on the 3d model, added a bed, painted it blood red, added a Winter's...
40Tudor, I haven't given the input loading or restraints much thought as of yet. The biggest thing with a FEA is that the output is only as good...
Sawzall, stay tuned but you'll have to be patient my virtual progress ticks by at a 1/2 hour increment per workday (lunch) and late at night when...
Carbs & Chrome, at the pace this thing is progressing it may be something I never own. Surely it will have to be tuned to run on ethanol because...

Ok it has been ages since I've posted but things have been outrageously busy. Although I haven't made any real progress on the frame/suspension...
I'm using Solidworks 2006 at home and 2008 at work - although this makes things tricky since files created in newer versions cannot be opened on...
Thanks for the input everyone. Here is an update on the 3d development, I've decided to "break" the frame design into 3 segments (front,mid and...
Unkl Ian, the wall thickness of the main "rail" plates as shown are 1/2" thick - but this will probably change - alot is still missing from the...
Sawzall, I'm using Solidworks 2008. The components have a "shiny" appearance with mirror-like reflections (take a close look at the Moon tanks) -...
Thanks for the feedback, here I've changed the views to perspective and added a couple of the bare frame - keep in mind that this frame design...
Well I thought I should throw my current 3d design out there to get some feedback. Given the availability of some neat equipment two of which...
