I've taken quite a few CNC programing classes through my engineering degree in the last couple years, its pretty crazy some of the things you can do with a multi-axis machine like that.

I was waiting for some guy to remove it from the machine and see that it is only 3 inches long.

It ... hit me the same way. Like Salma Hayek's hips in the table-dance scene of "From Dusk till Dawn."

I run one of these everyday and they do make some really cool stuff. No telling how long it took to write the operations program for the block. We have several cnc blocks at our shop that indeed look like works of art. The latest one that came in is a 560 cubic inch V6. Goes in a twin turbo Land Cruiser sand drag truck. Block and heads are beautiful.
