I like McMark's engine test stand. He cut the bellhousing off of a 901 and mounted a starter to it. He has a little panel with a starter switch and a green oil pressure light. It works well for anything south of a 2270 but the torque of a 2270 makes you a little nervous as it trys to jump when you rev it.

Great Stand! How did you decide which color milk crate to use? And is that a 4x6? BTW, what's the metal thing with the wheels for??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Got the stand buttoned up today, mounted the ECU, MPS, fuel pump and the relay board. The stand was build so it could be disassembled for better storage. Will let you know how well it holds up tomorrow when we fire up the engine.

I'm watching this thread Jim! Keep up posted. I like it, and I'm thinking of building something like it myself.

Hi Gint, got a small gas tank mounted today also got a place for the battery to sit mounted today, tomorrow gonna build the dashboard for the stand. All of these things that are mounted to the stand can come off the stand. Just nuts and bolts. Damn extra fuel pump that I had is leaking bad, have to get another one for this stand before I can fire up the engine. I'm not taking the fuel pump thats in the car out to fire up this engine I will get another pump. I will take pics of the completed stand.

Well this is the finished product. Got the gas tank mounted, and the batttery holder mounted, the upright for the dash mounted. All thats left is to mount the dash and wait on a fuel pump to get here. All this stuff can be removed and the stand itself becomes a good size dolly.

First pic is of the gas tank mount.

Have to fab up a holder for the muffler, the stock one won't fit cause we have the mounts in a different direction and the stock hanger won't fit, so a hanger for the stand is being fabed up now.

That's turning out to be nice.

I was thinking if you keep adding to it, it would make one hell of a go-cart. Add some drive wheels, some steering and a seat......
