I also made a switch panel and wiring with a spare Chrysler electronic ignition box I had that attaches to the hoist with 2 bolts when I use it as a "run stand". Same with oil pressure and temperature gauges. I have used this several times and it works great and it's very easy to set up. Works with both small blocks and big blocks.


Now that's a great idea ... I already have the folding engine crane ... just need to make some mounting brackets!
