I think a bare ls1 block only weighs 70-80 lbs or so, so 4 of them holding the block doesn't seem to crazy. Imagine how much weight it would take to flatten/crush one standing like that.

Those 4 little valves would hold the entire car up and probably the entire house up.

Add some camshaft lamps for the complete look! I like it, would be perfect in the Man Cave - will definitely be looking into this for that part of my shop!
