Engine Test Stand from Scrap and Junk

Thanks the likes everyone.

I used to be a little intimidated about doing fabrication type stuff (or even making things from scratch) because it was so different than the un-assembling/replacing/re-assembline repairs I was used to. Just get a rough plan together, it doesn't even have to be 100% complete, and go slow and do the measure twice, drill/cut/weld once thing and it's actually not that difficult. It really was an enjoyable project.

Honestly, the hardest part was getting the bellhousing out of the truck. The junkyard is very basic, and you're pretty much on your own for everything. Meaning, go scrounge around for scissor jacks, old wheels to wedge underneath as you lift it in stages, cardboard and whatever you can find lay on, etc. All the hard work aside though, it was still a lot of fun.
