umm yeah but none that are cheap, at school we use Unigraphics NX 3.0 but the licenses for that are outrageous, multiples of thousands of dollars, i dont remember but i was shocked.. umm your best bet might be some kind of 2-d autocad and do top view and side view or soemthing....

yes, i know any cad program is expensive... but who said i was gonna "buy" one

hah well, noone, but if your looking, Unigraphics NX 3.0 is an incredible program, you can design engines in it and apply motion and everything....

Here's something, I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for though?

I dunno if it can do it this, but I have Solid Works 06'. Gonna use it for pro trucks, trophy trucks and pre runners equipment..Basically the same thing but different stages of race trucks and also sand rails..Crazy program so far I love it.
