just thought of something while answering a post about motors in here.

how hard would it be to come up with a program that will allow you to build a motor in the computer and then dyno it?

i know they used to have a desk top dyno out so i would think that would not be to hard to come up with

but the 3-d motor might be the tuff part.

but to even get photo of a real motor and parts that you could put in place like a puzzel would sure help the folks trying to learn how to build a motor. you could do the same thing with a tranny also. depending on how detailed you got you could have them install all of the parts and also make them pick out the proper parts from the store to build a motor.
what i was think and what came to mind is liek the hunting games they have out now.
you can see the guy go to the lodge and get the stuff needed and then he drives his truck out and gose hunting.
so it is in more of a first person version.
if you did the popular versions of the motors out and the trannies you could have a market i would think.

kind of like the surgery tools they have out on the computers for them to learn the procedures before they use us as Guinea pigs.

Figured i would ask . hell if i gave you a idea and it works all i ask for is a copy of it.
