Some time ago a friend sent me a site showing this done with really exotic engine blocks, and also lamps and such made from crankshafts. All very neat looking, but again, check out the strength of your floor, and make sure those lamps cannot fall over.
On a related note, Studebaker's wooden engine block crates make a coffee table that you can actually move by hand, with a glass top, display stuff on the "flats" under the glass, and if modified with doors on one side, have storage.

Back in the 80's I came across a Tucker engine & thought the same thing. When I saw this I mentioned it to the "ball & chain" immediately a "NO" response was given. Too bad I didn't spring for the Tucker when I was single. Then she would have "inherited" it when the "I do's" were done!
I would (or should I use the pun, Wood) like to see the Stude engine crate coffee table, since I have one out back.59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!
