Answer 1

Here's a link for the Maintenance Manual and the IPBD.

If you after a FULL set of prints, contact Bell Helicopter. They more then likely have a set laying around some where that they would copy for a FEE.  

Just remember that a Aircraft can have Literally 10,000 prints. For example the Tail Rotor Pylon I now build have over 150 separate drawings, and that's JUST the Tail.

Most any Aircraft Manufacturer will provide NON Military Prints for a price. They have to, how else how can maintainers probably repair the Airframes?

Now this does not mean you can Submit a Request for a set of 737 prints and get it. Usually you have to be a registered user and pay a fee for the Technical Information, but given what your looking for you could probably find them if your willing to pay.

And Jason the 47 is so OLD and out of Date that a TOTAL release of the prints would in NO WAY hurt Bell.

Answer 2

Those are EXTREMELY proprietary.  They are the intellectual property of Bell Helicopter.  With them, a competitor could manufacture parts and sell them on the spares market.  A market that Bell guards jealously.

Owning drawings of official parts is something only a select few of hand-picked manufacturers would be allowed to do.  There are undoubtedly some floating around out there that have been stolen, but there isn't any place where one can just "go buy" them.
