Engine run stand

[Henry Schmidt]

Here's the stand we built.

Henry I'm very confused about that engine with no cylinders. Testing fitment? Or new technology?

Just a mock-up. I believe that particular case is destined to be a table.

[QUOTE=85RedCarrera;12576251]If you are talking about a danger involved with running these engines without a load on them...that would also be the case if you started and ran the engine in the car while parked.

How true !! Also fuel , oil and vacuum leaks , overall initial running , listening for strange noises , hopefully making you feel good of what you've done.. Absolutely not for breaking in the engine purposes ..

Did targa72e post the pic you requested ?

Here is a picture from the other side. I am using a engine mount for a 914-6 conversion not the 911 cross bar. Oil tank in previous picture is also for a 914-6. I have added additional mounting holes to fit a 911 tank. Currently have a 3.0L mounted up using a 911 oil tank.
