Damn, he must have a few of those if he is using one for his table. That is what I call decoration.

I can only imagine the impression it makes on that carpet, with all that weight underneath.

i wonder how many oil/dirt stains his "table" has made. lol

I am guessing the engine weighs around 400lbs.. so a lot less than the mark left by the in-laws sitting on the couch... ;)

I am guessing the long block only weighs about 400lbs... so the damagae would be a lot less than the in-laws sitting on the couch... ;)

A Viper engine would be cool also. :D

With this kind of answer, I want to make a quick survey.
I will like to know which (American motors) would you like to put in your living room?

For me, I will like a 428 Cobra Jet :twisted: or the 440 Hemi :twisted: .

No kidding -- that IS scary... I just figured out how that happened.. :shock: :shock:

I must have edited his post instead of "quoting" the other one... and while IExplorer and the Net were having a hiccup, not noticed the first one... LOL

^^ LOL, i thought it was a little strange! I thought you both may have subconciously remembered it from a recent TV show or sumthing, but obviously far less interesting than that! :wink: :P

Too bad he has that drum set in his living room...the engine table is a cool idea, and so is the wheel/coffe table. I saw at an automobile paraphanalia shop an F1 car wheel and tire made into a coffee table like so.

Nice found schnell318 ! :D

But I prefer the ZR1 engine $$$. On the other hand this living room table that you show schnell318 is even more original. :wink: Pistons support: excellent imagination.
