Restorod is right, that is a slick TEST stand. To answer Streets, I can't see putting that much effort into a stand-alone test stand when I have only so much time to get my car together. Maybe for a shop which will use the stand for many engines that would be a good idea, but I am trying to follow what I have seen in Rod magazines for many years, build a rolling chassis, test the engine in the chassis and then fit the body. I can only say that my Financial V.P. (wife) will very likely not accept an unfinished car so that is pressure from another source to get the car totally finished and I was just kidding about the "Yee Hah!", I do not plan to run the car without the body, although I do have a long driveway!
