Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share a project my old man I have been working on over the last few months. I grabbed myself a Boss 290 short block from a forum member which use to be in a Super Pursuit and decided to turn it into a V8 coffee table. Below are the pictures from when I first got it home to the final product.                    |

 Didn't have to tap new holes. Each piston is held in there with 1 head bolt which lined up without modification. The other bolt in the piston is just there for appearance and has been ground off and a tack welded on the under side. |
