I remember finding a V-4 engine block at school one year and bugging the teacher to give it to me to do something like that. unfortunately I was never able to break him, been thinkin of goin back just to bother some old teachers though might have to rummage through the shop and drag it out with me

why a 4? i think it would be more proper to use an 8 just because, the V8 is the model engine for ANY car... V10s are just too much, and are nice to have but pointless unless its in an SRT10 or a viper... the V12 is only in use with import cars that usually cost more than they are worth, V6s are only good for gas mileage with a little bit of power, and 4 bangers are simply for gas saving... no power involved whatsoever... lol me? i want a small block 350

i would like to make one out of a powerstroke block or a 13 liter Cat semi engine block but i think the latter would crush our floors

I have an old block in my parents garage just for this purpose. When it was magnafluxed there was a crack somewhere.. so I had the idea back then to turn it into a table. My wife and I are waiting to upgrade from apartment 2.0 to house 1.0, where there will be more room to make this table.
