Default Chevy V8 Engine Converted To BBQ Grill



What do big loud engines and BBQ grills have in common other than the fact that they are cherished by the boys? Trent Whatley found a way to combine the two passions and created a BBQ grill made from a Chevy v8 engine block. Who needs 500 HP when you can have 60,000 BTU?! From the outside it looks like a regular polished up engine block, but on the inside, a whole lot of burgers and dogs are just waiting to be charred. The grill is completely functional and stole the show at a its maker’s 4th of July BBQ.

Dude! That's awesome! Although, I do think it'd be cooler if it had a fuel injected set-up

Nice! Couldn't even tell when it was closed.

Would've been cooler if it was in the engine compartment...imagine that

Should've had one of those pulleys as the rotisserie turner

That would make a great gift for my uncle. We enjoy having BBQs after finishing work on Saturday afternoons.

That's awsome! I would totally buy one! Are they for sale???

Well, if they cost as much as a new engine, I probably wouldn't buy one...
