There is a link at the bottom to a video of building a Ferrari V12 engine that shows the whole process including casting.

I tried that and the link wouldn't load, will keep trying. Thanks.

I've got there, The sand cores were interesting to me, as there were placed in the mold, unfortunately the wooden patterns that produce it did not feature.
