Re: Suggestions wanted on testing an engine not on a frame

Space on the side holds the battery and misc. tools still allowing room to remove the pan if desired or just changing the oil. Very stable and have never had an occasion for it to torque or try to tip over. Maybe with a blower at full throttle but for a standard A motor, no problem. I've added a step down for the Radiator to allow for use of my 30/31 radiator with a 28/29 top neck. Any questions? More Pictures? Dimensions?

Nice, TK. Where did you put the battery?
