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 |

Short section of 4x4 lag bolted through the engine bar. The tranny can rest on a furniture dolly. Almost free...
Run 12V to a toggle switch that powers up both the pump and brain. Straight 12V to a trailer light for the oil pressure "idiot light". Jumper cables on the tranny -> battery for ground - same idea for +12V. Use a cheap, Harbor Freight starter switch to jump the relay on the starter. I made a "gas tank" out of a jug and a barbed hose fitting that was threaded for compression fittings on one end. I stacked a washer on the back and used lots of sealant for safe keeping... I even drilled the cap and put a small piece of vacuum line through it to limit my exposure if it got kicked over. |
