The Jupiter family looks like the SLS.

The SLS is the main reason the DIRECT project stopped. DIRECT was pretty much the opposition against the Ares V.

Well, that would be more like Jupiter, wouldn't it?
I do remember now looking at something about 10 years ago or more about those rockets. I di have an addon where the " Orion and upper stage" was mounted on the side as with shuttle C but no way would NASA ever put men on the side of a Shuttle C.
I think just take the ET and SRB's from the shuttle and mount the Orion /ICPS on top. Not long ago my contacts at JSC told me that they were revisting useing the ET and SRB's for a cargo launcher . It seems like our government is going to war with Elon Musk . He has made them and the rest of the fat cats in the rocket industry look bad. I think he will get Star ship to fly with or without them

Ok. so the only thrust would be from SRBs

So it is not just the ET and SRB. Now it sounds like the Jupiter family

It looks like the Jupiter class have the same core as SLS 3 shuttle engines. and then add a shroud and IPSC and Orion
Is this what you are looking for?

Yes I think a 2 engine SSME might work as well.
gattis have you been getting my emails ?

If you left the spacer on top of the tank then the shroud that might be enough room to carry a payload inside, the spacer would need to come off after the ICPS separated

No on the emails.
The jupiter class uses 3 SSMEs. But I can remove the center engine and make a 2 SSME model

this new rocket should be the lengh of the Shuttle ET

I think if the lengh is the same as the ET then put the spacer on and only one vertion would be fine
