IMO this type of thing works well with a V engine layout, inlines just don't have the symmetry, so it's a no from me :)

The R Series in the ad looks better, but I'd have to do away with the yellow rocker covers.

They'll charge you 50 quid to turn a piston upside down.

Various versions of engine coffee tables, Austin Mini front wing settees etc were quite often found in car dealerships when I was in the motor trade in the early 80s and onwards. I want to build a man cave/bar/sheltered area ta the bottom of the garden one day and I think i'll be getting a V8 coffee table. Man Chintz! :D

Plus another £149 for a new connector if you change your phone, for a £5 USB cable and a bit of 3d printing.
