engine stand

[oldford2]

A friend wanted some detailed pics of my engine test stand but his email can't open my pics. I have no problems on Fordbarn so will try posting them here for him.

Notice I just clamp some boards on for the radiator to rest on. The hoses hold the radiator easily. Keep things simple.

Notice the holes drilled for the bell alignment pins. This 8ba truck bell will bolt up to a 46-48 transmission

front mounts are for 59 ab pumps but an adapter could be made for later pumps

yeah real simple and nice. I like it. You just used paint to coat right?

Almost the same except I used metal for the radiator and I am running open headers. It is not so loud.

Old Ford,
I like it, pure and simple. I saved pictures of it and will have one made one of this days.
