Default 1/4 scale Blueprint and instruction manual

does anybody know where or how to start for a build of a V8 1/4 scale engine. i would like to start this project along with my sun. i have been searching to find a kit and instruction manuals but no can do. i found companies that sell them in the states and elsewhere.
i had an idea of getting those plastic v8 see through plastic models and mold the parts into iron.. Would this work. but then i will still need the plans for the main block for all the piping and what not.
Please let me know if anyone out there can assist..
thank you all.<o></o>

search for blueprints of the full size engines and then scale down the measurements.

you will need an extensive machine shop, or access to one, to be able to the grind crank, cam, make valves, heads, rods etc
