(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I run them on the ground with 4 x 4's under the case so I can see any leaks. I would never try to run an engine on those stands. And like Mark said, how are you going to get a starter mounted to turn it over? |

I had a stand built for running-in engines that's now at MAAP (Madison Automotive Apprentices Program (JMU).
https://madisonauto.org https://www.facebook.com/Madison-Automotive...89887317716022/ This stand incorporates a Zalex ring and Zalex control box. http://www.zalexindustries.com (Tom Perazzo is a great guy to work with) This is over-engineered and will take more weight than a 356 engine as I wanted to use it for 911 engines as well. The feet are industrial casters with a retracting foot which can be lowered. When they are lowered it is absolutely stable.  |
