engine test run stand

Dragsinger · 10-08-2008, 05:01 PM

I plan to build a test stand to accommodate a SBC or BBC and also bolt up a powerglide as a way to load the engine. Not to test wide open against the converter but simply a light, varying load for a short time. To lock the Glide I am considering a driveshaft yoke without u-joint then pass a piece of solid rod through the yoke. The rod would have some type of secure catch.

Let me have your photos and thoughts.

Thanks
