Hi all
I'm looking for gasoline engine drawing with a displacement of 3.5-4 liters. Any suggestions where I could find one?

An engine will have thousands of drawings. Have you tried Google? Or your local library? Or grabcad etc?
 
I've tried google but didn't find much, if there were any drawings they had only general dimensions. Local library might not have such data... Grabcad got models of engines but they doesn't mention their specification, so I don't know wherther it petrol or diesel engine or what it's displacement, those are important for me.

That's likely all you'll find. Developing an engine costs millions, manufacturers won't just hand out the thousands of drawings for years of r&d work.
What exactly do you want them for?
