Engine Test Stand

I bought an engine test stand off Craigslist today. The british car engines that I own, will both fit on it. It came with a radiator, fuel pump voltage regulator, guages, and switches to run the engine. I may get to even try it out in a few weeks on the Lemons race car we are building.

Oh boy, new toys.

I would buy that engine in a heartbeat if it were close enough to pick up.

I've been trying to figure out an angle to justify it, but, so far no good.

It is amazing what people keep in their garages. They guy I bought the engine stand from had 4 garages full of metal working tools. He had everything but a CNC machine. Plus at least 5 old cars, two motor cycles and a 1950s fire engine. I would like to be able to use his tools. He was such an interesting guy, I talked to him for two hours. Turns out we know a lot of people in common. I invited him to become part of our lemons race team. He can weld and make anything out of metal.
