Here are some pics of my aluminum Tatone engine test stand in action. The engine stand is bolted to a test bench made from oak bookshelves obtained from a local home improvement store.
Brand new YS 63 running super rich and smoking up the whole neighborhood:
The test bench is bolted down to my rear deck at all four corners using wood screws. This puppy isn't going anywhere.
The aluminum Tatone engine test stand can handle engines ranging from 0.3 cubic inches to 1.3 cubic inches.
