After probably 75 race engines for racers around the country it is getting pretty oil soaked. I will need a new piece of wood soon.... I have one 426 engine and one Dub Jett Fan Jett 50 to break in tomorrow. the race engine came up from Woodland Davis, the Fan Jett is one of 12 made that I have been wanting for many years. I finally found one.
My test stand is quite ugly, but it works. It really is time for a new one, but this old piece of crap still works..........

I think I may have looked at that test stand, too, when designing this one. I like the fact that the engine is pinned to the stand. I added pins to my stand. Plus I made it adjustable for different engine sizes. If I ever get into rear mount engines I can make an adapter to attach those engines to the stand. It will be a long time before this one wears out. Fuel is not affecting the wood so far. I appreciate keeping things a long time. Good luck with those engine break in.
