A TABLE?

If I had a spare Harley engine, I'd be too busy looking at rolling chassis and frames to answer. There would be a cool hand-built custom in my near future.

sell it the long it sits around the less it will be worth.
Unless of course someday your great grand kids find it the back of the garage and ..... well we know how it goes

why would you do that, was it totally blown or what? I can only see doing that with
a toasted engine, not a running one...
It will look nice when done, great conversation piece.
