Should I work with foamcore? I.E. Would it be hard for what I am doing?

    Good afternoon,

    I am in need of Jaguar XK (the big I6) engine plans. Any good reference photos, cutaways, and blueprints would be much appreciated on my end.

    I am attempting to build a 1:1 scale model of this motor out of foamcore.

    Also, any reccomendations about alternate materials are appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    RottenFitzy.

    Oh, I'd like to see how this project goes! I'll try to contribute as you mentioned above.
    Do you have any model years in mind?
    Best of luck on this project!

    Probably an early one.... they seem to be nice and slab-sided..... ;)

    This is probably going to be more of a build thread, but if you run accross something, link it! No need to do my research for me, though.... part of the fun, right?

    Work starts today. Did the math for the block length, I’ll base all other dimension proportionally off of this.
    Does a 30in length sound right for a undersquare 4.2?
