Would you put an engine in your living room?

Some people actually do buy car engines to exhibit them in there living room. Certainly they don't take modern engines to do this, but engines from classic cars as these engines have more to show.
The engine pictured here usually powers the Ferrari 308 GTB /GTS. It's an 8 cylinder engine with multiple carburetors. Yes, actually, it's quite nice to look at, but in all honesty, I prefer to have the engine in a car and listen to the sound it produces.
