My first foray into car related furniture is about to begin!

Just made plans to get a free redblock sans pistons and head from a car forum acquaintance. No idea what kind of shape it's in, and I'm picking it up over in MD on Monday. Should be exciting!

Aluminium or Iron? I have played with the idea, but I'd say avoid iron as the weight something horrid. Even a 4 banger will be heavy very when you are done.

you could always look into bike engines they are cheap and lighter. also instead of using the full block you you could definitely come up with something neat using the pistons etc.

Hah, yes. Just past Baltimore, this time. If you're around I'll buy you a beer; my wife's working late that evening so I'm going to be bored.

I might at some point; I don't really have any attachment to this one in particular, except that it's free.

I'll post a pic once I get it home, then another after it's cleaned up.

No idea, honestly.

It's free, though. If it's not going to work for what I want it for, I'll probably clean it up and sell it.

I'll be moving into my new place with my GF just south of Baltimore. I've got a Samichlaus I can spare if you're up for a drive.

Sweet. If I don't get completely ruined by traffic, I may take you up on that. I'll post on here I guess, or you can email me a phone number and I'll text you. josh.pidek@gmail.com

Might as well cancel that beer :/ as I might not have a house to drink it in.

Damn, sorry about that. Rain check for once you get it all settled; I'll bring some.

Favorite type?
