Lets See Your Big Block Test Stand

We use a modified overseas run stand. For final mock up I build engine cradles that allow a starter, bellhousing, and headers to bolt on to check for clearance issues. Much easier to go from steel table for cleaning to a conventional engine stand for prep/assembly, then to the home built deal and lastly to the run stand. This method works well especially if you are going to to the engine dyno next. I think of the run stand as a dress rehearsal.
