i used just a HD 4 wheel motor stand. welded a brace up from the front of the stand, to the front of the pan. added a radiator, headers with muf. and an oil and temp. gauge i 'm talking a 454, with a 671 blower, thats a lot of wt. i almost sacred up the first time i rev. on it a little, it almost turned over in the floor. it sure is a good way to check for leaks .
