Thread: Test run egine stand

Tweet

I work in the engineering dept at a near by hospital and have access to discarded item quite often. I made my stand from a supply cart base. It has brakes and a lock steering function. I don't have the radiator frame completed yet. I do crank the engine over till oil pressure is up to keep it lubed. I put the headers on upside down as an easy way to move it around. I don't think I would run it with them up although it would be a fun way to wake the neighbors.

I realize this is a commercial test stand, but an enterprising rodder could probably use some of the features on it in the design of his own.

I think I could build this I'm just jammed for space, I'm not a welder but some times that little lincoln 135 is good to me, see my work on youtube type in BADDAZZ TABLES has to be caps and has to have the space then click on the black screen.

That Test stand that you made is a Lot Like the one I have . I do Like the Smaller compact size that they are . I think you can Flip your Headers around and they will clear the stand . And you can add a Bolt on Front extension to your stand for a Radiator . I had to use a set of shorty Headers and Make the Pipes . Recently I bought the Mufflers that I run a Carrage Bolt through the Exhaust Pipe for Quick Hook up's . But if anyone wants to build one Like this use good Large H.D Wheels . When moving them around you can hit a Crack in the walk and they will want to tip . wake the neighbors I did that when I broke in my Camshaft on my 355 with open Headers .
