    CAD drawing or 3D solid works model of Lycoming IO-540

    Hello everyone. I am looking for CAD drawings or 3D model of a Lycoming IO-540 engine. This is to be used for evaluating the installation of the engine on an aircraft that had a different engine installed originally. I am sure that someone out there has done this. I thought I would ask around before putting the time and effort into doing it. I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount in order to compensate someone for the effort.

    Have you checked with Lycoming? Many engine manufacturers will provide a general drawing to vehicle developers showing the basic outline, mounting points, & critical control locations. I used to work for a large diesel engine manufacturer & they did this.

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately I do not have a CAD drawing of a Lycoming IO-540, but I would like to get one too. Any information regarding the engine mount type, or better a copy of a Lycoming "installation" drawing will be highly appreciated. I am looking forward to design an airplane with AEIO-540 L1B5D and actually built several 3D parts of it in Rhino, but the model is far from complete.
    It may not be relevant in this thread, however I can offer a Rhino model of a Lycoming O-320 E2D that I built and used it to design the firewall forward layout of my previous project. I mean, it is good enough to verify your cowlings, baffles, ducting, engine mount, exhaust and engine controls routing.
    Cheers,

    Hi Sasho
    I would appreciate it if i could get a copy of the o-320 CAD model. Is it possible to save it in STL format or STEP formsat for use in Solidworks?
    Thanks

    EzBrit, could you post a few renders of your O-540 model. What references did you use to verify that the model is true?

    With best regards,

    Cheers, lads and lass! I know this is quite an old thread, but I'd like to ask @Sasho , if his cad model of the Lycoming o-320 got internals too or if it's a mainly external model.
    If it is an internal model, i'd have a lot of further questions about the specs and would also ask if it is convertable to solid edge, as I'm quite new to the CAD world
    Thank you for your time.
