Anyone got a dead engine laying about that they can't/don't want to rebuild? Preferably Aluminum block and preferably without too many cracks or holes in the side of the block from thrown rods or whatever...

I need a coffee table.



Maybe a Japanese V6 would be a little easier to deal with...

Crank or cam shaft lamp would be cool too.



What other furnature ideas does anyone have?

I have grey furnature for my living room... Two grey leather couches, Grey TV stand, Grey TV... So aluminum or iron would go perfect with em... I already have wrought iron looking coffee and end tables, but the "iron" frame is cheap. The tempered glass tops are good.

4 banger of any type would be perfect for the end table... Boxer or inline... A stack of housings would be a little dull.

lol that table is pretty cool!

 

Ive got a 460 and Lincoln C6 c6 trans I can let go. It ran when I pulled it but now its siezed up. Id just need 100 for both of them, cant really let them go for free. There may be an old inline six up at the yard to ill check.

 

460 as in 460 cubic inch?! That's fawking HUGE, I don't think my floor will support that. LOL...

Inline won't work. Set too many drinks on one side and it'll tip.

 

Interesting, WTF did that come from?!

Look at the bearing journals... Main bearing, connecting rod, connecting rod, main bearing, connecting rod, connecting rod, main bearing...

Most I've seen have a bearing between cylinders.

 

The bare block I can lift and move around, and yes 460 inches. Like the one in my truck except the one in my truck has been bored and stroked to 514.

Im trying to think what else we have laying around

A 1.6 chevette motor, used on as an end table once

got half of a 13b and all its manifolds laying around

A ruined Cat 3412 (wouldnt fit in your house)

Might be a couple 351W,C and a BB 351M

got some gig turbos

basically i have a truck/car graveyard at my disposel, and I can get into Abbots Wrecker yard and see what all they have.

 

I have two whole TIIs you could use, you tow it :-p

 

that table is cool, i want one

 

That my friend is probably from a subaru boxer engine.

 

best use for a v8

 

As opposed to using one to make your car look slow?

 

******* DONE! Next time I hit Crazy Rays, I'm tearing apart a Subaru Loyale or something.

 

That crankshaft is from a Type 1 aircooled VW engine.. I don't know what the gear is from though. If you want one I can probably get you a freebie that's out of spec.

 

Gear doesn't matter. I can find another gear or a brake rotor or something.

That crank looks awesome. Perfect height. If it wouldnt trouble you too much, I'd appreciate.

 

I'll see if I can get ya the flywheel that mounts up to it too.. that lamp will never fall over. I'm headed to Florida for a few weeks so it might be a little while.

I'll have a 4.7 Liter V8 out of a Grand Cherokee next week if you want....

Iron block or aluminum? It seems a little large for me... Though I'll check it out.

 

Did you already get a rotor clock?

 

I believe it's aluminum.... 4.7 is actually pretty small for a V8, isn't it?

 

Get? Negative... Build.

I'm sure I can find a trashed rotor and housing. Rotary Performance of Manassas is just down the road.

 

Sounds good to me.
