Using An Engine Run Stand To Test An Engine Before Install - Horsepower S15, E18

HorsePower discovers a non-dyno way to test engines before they're installed. It's an engine run stand they also use for carb tuning. Plus, a look at how race car stopping power goes into new street car brake kits.

Waddya mean, "discovered" a way to test engines. I've been using engine test stands for the last 50 years! However, THAT is a REALLY nice engine test stand!

Not only did a friend of mine and I put an engine together and while mounted on a test stand used it as a heater during a Corvette club dyno run. Freaked some of the Shelby guys out when we would hand them a screwdriver and tell them to turn the idle mixture screws a little bit. They could hear the change in note.

What a great stand. Do they have plans for this type that you can buy.
Where did you guys buy the valve covers. Been looking for the exact ones for 6 m months.

Nice stand! Where can you purchase one?

In the early 60's test stands were made out of 4x4 and 2x4 wood. Engine stand was made out of what the engine was delivered in!!!!

So will this work with a fuel injected engine?
