Easy Run Engine Test Stand

I think you may be skimming over some stuff
There is a radiator on there, I'm guessing it has fans mounted to it, a fuel tank, and a dash panel with some gauges

I have no doubt it can be build for less, but it does seem like a nice all inclusive package


Sure, nuts and bolts too. Those don't cost that much either... Still not a $2,500 piece of equipment.

tach 100
gauges 50
Steel 100-150
Gas can 20
Radiator 200 (if you buy a new one) 50 w/fans from the yard
Misc wire 20


So for around 500-600 ish, plus time... Still WAY less then a grand....
