I don't think I would run it with them up although it would be a fun way to wake the neighbors.

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 .
