Default Re: Engine test stand

Yes, my present enginrstand is made from wood. I used it to fire uo both the 294 and the 280 and will use it to run the 248, my next engine. I fire them up check for oil pressure get a little heat in them and if they don't sound like something is bouncing aroun inside they go into the car.. My first engine stand was a 300HP GE Dyno, I''d put a 25-50 hp load on it and vary the rpm from 2500 to 2500 untill it got very hot. Then let it cool down, retorque the heads and then start testing it for power output.
