Grassroots Coffee Table

It has begun.

Done blow'd up LS3 = my new coffee table.

ok, I will bite. How did you do that?

Awesome! Looking forward to how this comes out.

I've always wanted either an LS or a Radial for a coffee table.

Because racear mechanic.

Popped a motor at Sebring this year. I just now took it home. Going to bolt the con-rods to the block, have the piston tops be the stands for the glass going on top. Thinking about putting a light where the crank would sit.

I have seen four pistons used as feet and four pistons used as table holders FYI

In reply to John Brown:

Ooh, thank you for the tip. Was thinking it was gonna be alittle short.

Also, FYI: Piston rings are razor sharp!

This is the exact way I'm going to do my table, but the block and con-rods/pistons will be polished.

Just spray paint. Im secretly a bodyman at night. Don't tell anyone. another tip I forgot. Jb quickweld is your friend. Connecting rod bolts dont always fit.nor do the holes always line up.

I've still got an aluminum Rover V8 block awaiting this treatment...some day....
