    Building a engine test stand.

    Was able to make a little progress on the test stand.  Hopefully tonight I can mount the engine on it and start fitting the CVF kit.

    Nice, you'll enjoy having it. If you have an aftermarket extra capacity oil pan, make sure it clears for removal before final welding. I didn't, and had to do some clearancing.

    Looks good, I love having mine.  Here is a quick video on the one I built.




    I also did a webpage writeup on it if you are looking for ideas.

    I looked into to that and watched the video a few times.  What kind of guided or dictated my direction was the material I had lying around.  I measured the stock I had and did my best to make it work.  I’m cheap like that.  Lol
