Looking for a basic blueprint.

Does anyone have a physical layout, dimensioned print for the 4.0 Block or know where I can get one. I have looked for a while without luck.

Good luck John. I have had one heck of a time finding anything.
I have a drawing of the bellhousing pattern, and the crank flange. And the front cover bolts for a 4.0. I have figured out how to use my Shop Bot to digitize bolt patternes now and a few other things. If I can help let me know.

Thanks Tom, I have searched for over a year without luck, have found builders drawings for many blocks, but not that one.

I dont have a blueprint, but in talking to Heco i found out the the head bolts and the main bearing bolts are in line and the same pattern. Maybe this helps

Peter, it all helps, and that piece of info is new to me, I have spent untold hours looking at and taking measurements of the I6, but had not recognized this. I think a front set of dim's, and side sets would be a valuable tool for a lot of builders. For those of us used to working with blueprints, it helps so much with the visualization of possible mods, I have done far too many redline drawings over existing prints considering changes. Wouldn't you consider something like this useful for our work.

Don't suppose I could talk you out of copies of those, could I?
