Project Title: Dodge 360 roots style blower intake.

  Portfolio Preparation, Ivy Tech Community Collage.

  Project Overview:  This project is to design a roots style blower intake for a Dodge 360 V8 motor. The reason for this is because there is not one available for this application commercially.

  Statement of Development:  Along with the design challenge of this project I want to learn how the sheet metal part of solidworks is used.

  Detailed Project Description: I intend to design this intake from scratch. The motor itself will have to be measured along with the intake gaskets and Blower base gasket.

• I intend to produce a 3D model of the intake.
• The drawing package for the parts to be machined from.

  Major Tasks and Milestones:

• Intake gaskets have been purchased and I will take delivery by Wednesday February 1, 2012.
• The first major project will be to measure the motor itself and the intake gaskets and blower base. I hope to have this done by February 20, 2012.
• The next major task will be to figure out the size of the Plenum. I will try to have this done by February 25, 2012.
• By March 20, 2012 I will have figured out what the intake height will be and the location of the blower pulley in relation to the Crank pulley.
• By April 10, 2012 I should have the design done and ready to complete the drawings.

  Resource Requirements: The resources that I will need will be software access and my measuring tools.
