This is a complete model of 609100; ASSEMBLY - CRANKCASE UPPER HALF for the V-1650-7, which is the version used in the P-51 Mustang. In modern engines this would be considered the engine block. Modeled and rendered in SolidWorks 2020, I am including Parasolid, IGES, STEP, and STL files.Edit 1: User J. Riend has pointed out an error in the main bearing caps. I have uploaded the corrected caps individually. Please download them and overwrite the ones in the zip file.During World War II Packard Motor Cars received a license from the British luxury car manufacturer to manufacture it's famed V-12 known as the Merlin 66 in America for use in US warplanes. The result was the Packard V-1650, one of the most well known and most popular aircraft engines used in US aircraft (which isn't to say the Merlin wasn't equally famous).I'm modeling the V-1650 just for fun. The original Packard blueprints have been scanned in high resolution and been made publicly available at www.AircorpsLibrary.com. That's a great site for guys who like to model aircraft related stuff, they have hundreds of thousands of original blueprints for a few dozen different airframes.
