    Engine run stand... WITH VIDEO

    For those that have not seen the thread, I spent a lot of time over the last 4 months building an engine run stand.  I fired it up about 2 weeks ago but then life got crazy and I was never able to get the video shot.  Here is the video

    Thanks to everyone that gave suggestions and also thanks to Greg B for hooking me up with some of the parts.

    Nicely done!  Painting it Ford Blue would really complete the job

    I am envious!  If I just had the floorspace to put one!  Nice job.

    Now, add a T5 to it and drive that thing to the bash!

    What were the initial O2 readings on that engine/carb?

    Very nice Daze. I like the switch to get O2 readings from either header. What did that entail to hook up?

    Once I am done playing with the 351 (have not done anything other than start it a few times to make sure it and the stand were working correctly) the stand will go to the powder coater for a black with silver veining running through it for the main parts and gloss black for the engine mount and bellhousing mount

    It was showing lean but I never let it get to operating temp and have not done anything with the engine other than start it a couple times to make sure the stand and the engine were working.  I haven't even adjusted the carburetor or the timing.

    Carb came off of a running 351 but different cam and heads and CR
    and the timing was eyeballed by putting the pointer at 10 BTDC and dropping the distributor in and lining up the rotor with #1

    It was very simple I just used a 3 prong switch.  The O2 sensor goes to the middle prong and the O2 wires go to the prong opposite the side of the engine the O2 sensor is on.

     Very Nice!  Glad to see it turned out great.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.
