Hey All,
So I've made some big strides in completing my first engine build. But between using a megasquirt and all the other changes, I'd like to build up an engine test stand, Anyone have any notes or experience doing this? Thanks, -- Steve |

The starter mount it the 'biggest' issue. You can build something that holds both the transmission and the engine together. That way you don't have to deal with the starter.
The one I use is a converted Harbor Freight generic stand, but I cut the bellhousing off a transmission to mount the starter. You'll need -battery -fuel pump -fuel filter -light or gauge for oil pressure -switch for ignition power and fuel pump power -heavy duty push button (momentary on) for the starter -battery cables That's all I can think of off the top of my head. |
