Default Vintage engine

New member here and first post after introduction. I love the replica bikes you have all been building. I'm starting one but the engine is important. I do not want just a look. I want to replicate an engine.
I have rebuilt a few old motorcycle and had to make some parts in my home shop. I'm set up pretty good and ready to tackle a whole engine. The problem is I don't want to reinvent the wheel but just copy one. I don't have an engine to work from so drawings are the next best thing. Has anyone seen mechanical drawings for an engine. I have found a few for larger motorcycle engines but they are to large. I know there are replica engines out there but I can't justify the cost, and why should I let some one else have all the fun when I can do it. Hope there is some info out there. Thanks
