without the standard FT cam break in ?

Seems like the requirements for ring seating are not the same as for cam break-in.

I worked at my uncles Dodge dealership from 69 to 73 never once did a factory car come in with a wiped cam. I’m preety sure most all wiped cams are on used-rebuilt engines and most likely poor assembly. Knock on wood I’ve yet to wipe one even changing a cam to 3 different engines and put lifters where ever.

Jim, no, but I can get you a pic. The bellhousing just butts up to the flat face of the angle iron and I drilled the 4 holes for the transmission mount bolts. Just something to hold up the rear of the whole deal.
Like I said, mine is ugly and crude, but I have basically zero money in it and it works great. I got tired of retorquing heads in the car after a fresh build...that's what led me to build this thing. It's SOOOO much easier now. Nice for when I occasionally build an engine to sell or for someone else.

I made these adjustable length "arms" to use on a run stand to support the side engine mounts on a variety of engines.
This material is 1/8" wall thickness, so the 3/4 square tube slides into the 1" square tube.
Trying to make this stand adjustable for many types of engines, Chevy, Mopar, etc.
