You guys are always so helpful! Each of you offer such unique ideas and experience.
Crenwelge - so cool how you repurpose these old frames for run stands. Great idea!
Mick53- beautiful engine and the craftsmanship on your test stand looks outstanding as well. I noticed your 292 has side front mounts. Is there an existing engine run test stand brand name you may know of that allows for the front engine mount on the older stovebolts like mine? I wasn't seeing how that Summit stand would mount with my front mount on the lower forward end.
Joe H - thank you so much for your details. I always like a lot of detail as I always learn something new. I agree with you on the height issue on the Summit stand and I wondered the same thing. Lifting that heavy stovebolt that high could be a dangerous process I’d rather avoid. I’ll look for something shorter.
Hotrod Lincoln- love the 55 gal heat exchanger idea. You continue to be a great help on my project with your input. You gave me some intake heat plumbing ideas previously. Are you sure you’re not a closet plumber by heart? 🙂 Do you use a run stand Jerry? What are your thoughts of a brand that works well with a stovebolt?
Thank you guys!
Pat
