It shouldn't be too hard to do.

not much to building one, you really just need a way to hold a rad in front of an engine and keep the engine from falling over.

i've got maybe $40 in mine and thats just the mig gas and welding wire.
just used it yesterday for a successful break in

Probably a dumb question, but is the trans/bellhousing necessary when breaking in an engine?

since the starter bolts to the bell you have to have a bell and flywheel or an automatic trans and torque converter to start the engine.

Cheap ole furniture moving dollies work great for engine carts. may have to notch out the center board for pan clearance though. I have had many 440's on mine.

I don't like the idea of running a motor up on a stand. All the stands I have seen are kind of high off the ground. Also with the motor mounted from the back How does the trans attach, so it can run?
I always wanted to build a stand onto a pick up frame, using the front end and put a hitch on it. That way I could work on motors, and also sell motors that can be seen and heard running. Then deliver them as well.


I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.
