A very well "built" coffee table
Who knew the things you could do with a Rover 3.5-liter V8 engine when you've got it sitting in your living room? With a displacement of 3528 cc, there's all sorts of enough room for wine bottles, or you can use it as a coffee table, or even a coffee table holding wine bottles (we here tend to have alcohol on the brain, in hand, and down gullet, at all times). In fact, because this engine appeared not only in Rover cars, but was widely sold by Rover to small car builders -- becoming the virtual de-facto standard British engine for hot rod use (much as has the Chevrolet small-block V8 for American builders) -- there's a lot of them around. So grab a burbler that's quite burbling and be like these enterprising young urban autonistas, turning your love of the automobile into a love of furniture. Gallery of tables below.
I wouldn't mind having one in my living room.

Yeah but the V6 was aluminum and on wheels so it could be moved easily
This just reminded I have a blown V-6 and V-8 sitting around so I might make a couple of these myself.

I have a lot to do between here and there. First I have to remodel the house and finish the buggy. Then I can get to tearing out the motors and gutting them for tables

Same comment I made for the other engine coffee table, not in my living room but if I had an office and dealt in the automotive field it would be interesting.
