OK, done with it for today.
Got the rear driver's side portion of the bell housing done, along with the oil/coolant adapter mounting surface.
I'm kinda wondering if I sould even bother with all of the outside structural ribbing. It would kinda be frivilous because the purpuse of this model is for the intake.
BUT then again, It would be kinda cool to have completely done, with the S/C and headers all bolted up...... What do you guys think?

It looks like the dimensions are off, the rear cylinders, -further away than the front cyl's in your imaging, are taller.. which is backwards 
Not trying to rip on your stuff, may want to double check before using it as a base for your intake though.

I know what your talking about................ Tis' only an illusion.
Thanks for actually looking at the detail.

DOH! I see what your talking about NOW....................
The upper bellhousing tabs actually sit lower than the front tabs above the water pump.

This is a picture of the actual block, Should show you what I mean.
and here is the model after a bit of work today.

Ok,
The Block is done...............For now.
I have some parts on loan to me that I have to get drawn up so I can get em sent back. The ribbing and other detail will be put in as I go further with the drawing.
Hope you like em'

Wow....nice work.
How much time do you have into it ?

No.... it's probably just the computer program if your dimensions are correct. I don't see how it'd be the computer prog but it must be if the d's are right. And in the second to last pic it looks fine, like your d's are correct, so?? who knows.. . Even back in high school, in art class, do you remember the vanashing point rule?? closer is bigger, further is smaller. And it looks like your front connectiong rods are gonna have to be shorter than your rears, if you were to be building an engine block off that diagram. It just appears that the deck height isn't consistent, nor is the distance between heads. If that makes sense, look again..
I don't know. Just explaining myself. But something is definately wrong in the visual aspect. It IS nice work, interesting enough to keep looking at.

Ford Nut........... I have Approx, 14 hours solid work in the block right now. But thats small beans compared to what it will have.
Ponies...............The D's are correct, It has to be the way your looking at it. The only other thing I can think of it being is the fact that this programhas 2 different view settings. Modeling and perspective.
The modeling view is what you see in these pics. perspective adds the vanishing point you are speaking of.
I'll try to get a rendering with that added to see if it helps ya out.
Thanks for the interest guys, It really helps me justify putting these up here.

I would have guessed more then 14 hours.
Looks like you have the hang of drawing in Autodesk Inventor.
It takes time to get used to looking at things in a solid model, if your not used to it things can look goofy.
Wire frame can mess you up like you wont believe.
I will have something on my screen at work and nobody can tell what it is but me.

I know what you mean about others not seeing things.
Here is the crankshaft after about 2 hours of work.
I still have to do the filleting, and the knife edges, but it gives you the Idea.

Update time............
Got the Crank done, main caps, Bearings, and studs drawn and constrained.
This is where the cool looking stuff starts appearing.

i wanna see it spin, i know it can be done

Dmaup's Daddy
Yes, It can and will spin.....But not yet.
Oil pan is done. I understand it's not the VIII pan, but I don't feel like doing the additional sump.
The beginnings of the front cover are there, but not that noticable. The rear cover and rear main seal is there also.

Nah, I'm really only doing this in my free time.
I'm not taking classes right now, so I have a bit more time to do other things. I just can't wait to actually start laying out the mounting position for the S/C, and the belt routing.

whats the point of the computer imaged motor?

if he could make an intake that would mount to our heads and allow the oem ford eaton to go on top that would be super. better yet the kenne bell down the road. Would be cheap way to boost the mark.
