Help with some dimensions

[luchoteam]

Hi!

Like i said on my introduction topic, i dont have any nissan but since i am a modelist, im working on a Tamiya Nissan Silvia S13 (1/24 scale)

This is my biggest work so far, because i am fully opening it, i mean, open doors and hood, its going to be a drift/track day car, so i want to add as much details as possible.

The kit doesnt have an engine, so i had the idea to scratbuilding it from cero...that is my problem, i don have the right dimension of block, valve cover,etc and i really want to make something special with this model car...and here in Argentina, this cars arent very popular, also their engines so i cant go to a workshop and take some measures.

So if any of you can give me a hand with this issue, i will be very happy!

This are the main dimensions i need, the basics ones to have a clear idea of the general shape and dimensions of the engine (A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H)

I did some web searching, and with some pixel relations i figure out some sizes and I stared the block v1.0 :naughty: but since i am not sure with the size i dont want to work on the details until i have the right shape/scale/size...Here its right now
