Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows if a drawing or blueprint of the Twin Cam engine exists and is available for purchase anywhere.

Thanks,

Ian

Here's a nice cutaway that I copied from a 1963 magazine and cleaned up...

Same drawing, updated a little, from a '65 magazine....

Hi,

Both of these are fantastic, but I was hoping to find a gerenal layout drawing showing the basic architecture of the engine with some dimensions. Maybe even an original manufacturing blueprint?

Thanks for posting the pictures, I have them both on my wall already!!

Ummm... isn't that drawing already at the top of this page?

I guess I mean an Engineering Drawing!

I don't recall seeing a plan / elevation type engineering drawing of a twincam Ian. This is the main one that was used when the Elan was launched, and indeed is in the workshop manual as well!

Hi Ian
I do have some drawings with measurements, but only re. the engine block. I do have to scan them which should be possible during today. Tell me whether this is good enough for you.
See you

There's also a good illustration showing the oil passages out there somewhere!
