if he uses it for his truck i imagine its gonna be very mild because hes a sissy and doesnt want the HP of his 408 for a daily driver

low 84 · 12-25-2003, 01:47 AM

hehe, i wish i was building it and putting it in my truck, but jeff nailed it. i'm making it into a coffee table. i bought it from ratrod67 today for 20 bucks. theres a small crack in the side from it breaking a rod in half on no2.

sweet, i was wondering why you called me a poser, lol. i really hadn't even been planning on making one but when i saw this one for sale on the parts board it was too cheap not to make one.

i'll keep my eyes peeled for a block for you, do you wnat an aluminum one?

ratrod67 · 12-25-2003, 08:22 PM

I got another block if someone wants it for $20. It's a 305. Also got a couple cranks, 1 cracked double hump head. Might be able to round up some pistons and rods too. Nothing really worth fixing but maybe for some cool Monster House type stuff.

*mike reeh* · 12-25-2003, 10:04 PM

coffee table, hrm. thats a good idea.. what do you do just have a peice of glass made for it? Anyone have any pix of one? Im seriously considering.. I know Ive got access to a few junk blocks.. unfortunately not ALUMINUM :/ but I think it would be a worthwhile investment.. tear down the block and have it shot peened at the machinist.. couldnt cost too much.. then it would look like new.. some clearcoat (or not?) and a peice of glass to throw on top.. COOL.

come on lets see some pics

phantom dually · 12-25-2003, 11:11 PM

How about making one that is like a cut away view and the pistons that are seen move up and down on a electric type motor?? That would be cool!!

low 84 · 12-26-2003, 02:13 AM

this is what i'm making mike, its been posted a few times before but you may not have caught it.

1974ChevyC10 · 12-26-2003, 02:21 AM

that does look pretty cool-i think i may have just found a use for the junk 305 in my grandma's backyard.

87 Shortwide · 12-26-2003, 03:52 AM

Im building one too, only its gonna be old skool with a 350 4-bolt main block

84Stepper · 12-26-2003, 12:20 PM

Doubles as a really handy wine rack! That is too cool.

Lynx · 12-27-2003, 06:21 AM

That is awsome! but how the heck would you ever move it!?

BowTieMan · 12-27-2003, 03:48 PM

Is the glass just set on there? How could you hold it on there?

VetteCityBowtie · 12-28-2003, 03:18 AM

That is too cool!! But I can just see my 2 year old smashing it with a sippy cup
