There was a chap years ago on the machine builders network (Conrod was his handle) who made a horizontal mill out of a 4 cylinder engine block. Steve will probably remember, or should but you can never tell these days. The spindle was mounted in one of the bores and I believe the top arm as well. Used connecting rods from an engine the end spindle support. Was a pretty neat machine.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
