get the front section of a V8 powered car. weld a x member across the back where you hack it and put castors on that.. then remove suspension and stuff and put castors W/ LOCKS on the front... some basic wiring and using the cars radiator.. you'll have a test stand. Gary's U pull it would be a prime place to get that stuff.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

As in something like this:
It was made out of some old steel I had laying around and an actual engine stand to bolt the bellhousing onto. This design really only works with chevy's or another block where the flywheel bolts to the block. It is a little overkill though.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
