Build That Engine Run Stand

I just realized i have a manual trans bellhousing,that might fit the bill for a run stand. Will an auto torque convertor fit in there i wonder?
The flywheel is off a poly engine so it wont work.

I was thinking about the automatic torque converter as an option too, but there is no support for it for where it would go into the front transmission pump. Would be dangerous running that heavy converter hanging just on the thin automatic flex plate.

I would say no, want to play it safe.
