Default Re: transmission test stand

We need to hear from an electrician about the service required for an electric powered tester.

I expect something like a 480 volt 3 phase will be required so not practical for most shops. In addition, I think a gas engine will give better control of load and speed.

I have enough SBC 350 parts to easily build a low cost stock engine.

The thing I need to learn is how to load the output shaft. On DRR site someone posted a video of the FTI tester and it has a disc brake setup for the output load.
