Default Used pistons needed

I'm turning a 928 engine block into a coffee table, much like the one on TopGear, and I was hoping someone might have 4 used pistons and connecting rods that I might have for the project. They don't need to be perfect, just not damaged or scratched. I will have them soda blasted and powder coated once they're welded to the base of the block.

If you can help, please reply or send me a PM.

Thanks,
Clay

4.5, 4.7, 5.0, or 5.4?

Why would it matter if they are scratched?

Aesthetics only, size doesn't really matter as they're going underneath the block, not into it.

For a proper engine block coffee table, you really need a V12. A V8 will look like it was made from a run of the mill, pushrod engine.

Actually, it looks about right for the space I have. I just need to raise it up about 4 inches. I'll try to post a picture when I get the glass cut for it.
