Build That Engine Run Stand

Now you need to address Ford and the "other" GM engines. The other Gm engines are easy from here.....they all use the same mounts and bellhousing patterns. Chevy was the odd man out with that and I never understood why they did that. Had they cast the rest of the GM family with the chevy mounts and bellhousing pattern, they would have all been the same. But Buick, Olds, Pontiac and Cadillac were all the same and then Chevy. LOL Course the way you are whippin this up, you could just make it when you needed it. Must be nice to have all this talent. lol

Oh, that is good information. I did not know that about GM all being the same mounts and bell housings but not Chev.

There was some talk here about setting up for the Ford Small Blocks. Looks like I will have to be on the hunt for Ford and GM bell housings and matching flywheels.

Would like to set up for Big Block Mopar too. As far as I know the small block and big block flywheels all have the same crank bolt patterns. Just need to come up with a 4 speed bell housing for the big blocks, I bet they are spendy.

Bet I could make up a Big Block engine run stand Bell mount if I think about it long enough.

Not like it is going to have to bolt up to a car driveline . . .
