I decided that I needed to build a stand so I could time and set carbs and test exhaust before putting everything in the car.. Click to view attachment

Ben I like it, what about controls and Oil tank battery etc.... I am hoping it is not done as I would like to do the same. More than willing to steal a good design.

All to come my friend. In good time..

That is exactly what I was planning to build for my 4 rebuild. Yours looks very professional! Does anyone have the dimensions for the engine support bar/gearbox mounts for a Type 4 to save a careful measuring session?? Its the vertical alignment I am a bit worried about particularly.

Thanks

I don't for a 4cyl.. Mine adjusts vertically as well

Ben, will the engine be installed from the bottom or come in on the top. will there be room for 911 exhaust and muffler. Best, Mark

The engine can be mounted either way-top or bottom. And no sorry no room for 911 exhaust just 914-6

Me too, got my eye on the this thread.

Maybe sell detailed plans for a few bucks, or do like blue sky did with their rotisserie design and post a free link to plans/material list on you website to help drive traffic....

Here is a kickass engine test stand that our good friend Karl at Thoroughbred Motorsports made.

That is awesome.. Wow. I was looking at mine as a single use item..

Nice design Ben, beats my wooden pallet I planned on using for my /4

But, there is no stereo in the dash.......

I think a nice stand like Pete has attached is a must for folks that build engines on a regular basis. When I was rebuilding aircraft engines in a former life we ran each engine before it left.. Just to make sure..

Nice stand I would be afraid to hit the key while leaning over the engine. That fan looks to be at the right height to _____________ shudder the thought.

My run-in stand was 3 jack stands, one under each end of the engine cross bar and one under the tail of the trans.

Wow that was probably interesting.
