My V8 table, made from a Rover 3.5L aluminum engine block.
Here the timing chain is clearly visible. It also shows that the crankshaft is missing since it weights quite a lot.



made from a Rover 3.5L aluminum engine block.
On top of the pistons is a bit of silicone to keep the table top in place.

You gotta be a pretty big car nut to want to put a hunk of steel in your living room like that. I'm a car nut, but I wouldn't want one in my living room...

I would probably use it in my backyard. As much as I love cars, it just doesn't match my living room.
