    engine test stand
    « on: June 07, 2008 - 05:43:17 PM »
    This is how far I`ve come with my test stand. Have to fab the rear support behind the bell housing, and mount some gauges on the same support
    to keep an eye on temp, oil pressure and rpm.
    I`ll remove the exhaust system from the car to use during the break in.

    Dude, that thing is sweet. I keep thinking that I need to build me one of them, except everyone else would barrow it and I would never see it.

    You know one of the things I enjoy the most about the car hobby is all the stuff you create on the side. Sometimes it’s cheaper to buy it but it’s also fun to make it yourself. Nice job. I like the outriggers for the torque. Here is a six-pack puller I made.

    :iagree: I`ve made some tools during the years, just copy them from the shop manual among others a tool for removing the bearings from the rear shaft.
    Nice puller, ohio cuda  :thumbsup:
