Engine Run/Test stand

I didn’t keep recipes on the tubing, but that can fluctuate wildly from seller to seller, region to region. A spool of welding wire is cheap. No gas was used. The casters were cheap. I’m not kidding when I say spray paint was the most expensive item considering what’s being done. The radiator is from my Magnum but a new one like that one is was around $200 from AutoZone.

Gauges, if you have none are a little expensive to get for this project. Even cheap ones. But your really only looking for a Tach, oil & temp to break in and tune an engine while checking for leaks. Adding a set of 02 sensors really helps make the stand a great tool and get the tuning chore done real fast, but, Ka-ching $$$$$$$

Not for nothin though, purchasing a kit maybe a little more expensive than a well thought out home project, but I think it isn’t a bad deal ether.
