    Here's mine, I basically thru it together out of some steel I had laying around 25 years ago. It's ugly as sin but works very well. I've lost count of how many differnt engines have been on it mostly SBCs and BBC, but the occasional Ford and Mopar.

    It has the basics, tach,oil and temp guage, and I'm using a Harley throttle I can lock the RPMs on (every time I fire a motor, makes we want to built a trike ). The rails extend a bit past the radiator so I can strap a box fan in front in case I don't run a fan on the engine.

    Here's a video of it with an running engine, sorry about the sound quality.

    and a better picture of the stand with a SBC on it
