Here's my test stand I built many years ago. Basically two 5' 1X3x1/8" channel pieces for the frame, and about 20' of 1 1/2X1/8" angle iron. You can make it as fancy or simple as you want. The radiator is for a large fork lift I bought from a local shop very reasonable, and has several hose nipples for flatheads and FE/385 Ford big blocks. The 110V house fan eliminates the need for a belt-driven fan. The Moon tank is overkil, but had to have one.
