One of the things I like about your build is the use of a bellhousing. Too many builders overlook the safety benefit of using one to contain the flexplate or flywheel.
I was thinking about building one and I ran across your video. Very nice job, now I think I will put one together. I put a engine in a truck and I am having trouble with it. It would have been much easier to start it in a stand rather than having to pull it out of the truck. You have some great ideas on here. Thank you.
It takes a little time to set an engine up on a run stand but it's well worth it to test any engine. Even if it's new it's a good idea to test it. I will also add that it's not cheap to build a run stand. I sold this stand and have almost gotten run stand #2 built. All the little pieces add up, but it is a lot cheaper to build one than buy one.
I'm super jealous 😆 Wish I could put this together this nice! Very nice job 👏 I bet if you found a cost effective way to produce multiple of these a person could make a little money on the side
@@mossman381 hey man...I wanna say thank u for ur videos. My motor stand is almost done. This 1st one is the prototype but I actually think I will make a few turnkey ones to sell. So thank u for all the awesome help!
I like your truck. I used to have my Grandpas 70 chevy C-20 Camper Special. Truck is gone now but hoping to use the trucks 350CID engine & TH350 trans into my 68 RS/SS Camaro
Really like your presentation. I'm looking at building one myself. Do happen to have a list of materials, length, width and gave that you used? Thanks you for sharing your video Jim
I don't have any plans except what I tell in the video. It's pretty simple frame. Mostly 2x2 tubing. I have a list of most of the parts I used in the description and comment section.
That is the overflow of the overflow tank. There shouldn't be much that gets pushed into the overflow. I am thinking about putting it up for sale and building another one. If I did paint it, I would probably go with the colors in the shop. We have a black and gray theme.
I’ve bought an Audi 4.2 bns engine from an rs4 to do an engine swap with, you think it’s worth building a test bed before trying to wire it into the project car? I need to change head gasket so doing that on both and replacing chains and tensioners but tempted to rebuild it tbh, would we good to get it running outside the car as still got to figure out how to wire it up as going into a vw
The stand having it's own screwdriver would be nice too. I am always having to go grab one. I was hoping someone would buy this one and I could make another one with a few additions.
I would say be prepared to spend at least $1000 to build one like mine. I had most of the steel so depending on your steel prices you could be closer to $1500. Not what I call cheap but I feel mine is better built than ones I could buy.
About talking....its probably best to balance action and explaining. Too much of either is bad. I personally find time lapses annoying, but apparently, that's just me. I really don't know how you can learn anything from someone working at 100 mph.
It's fast food entertainment, people have a kindergartens attention span nowadays. Songs are reduced to 2 minutes, the most popular video format is now 20 second clips.... Very sad.
@@HateCrewReaper Or people don't want to listen to a 10min explanation of the condition of the radiator he ordered. The project is great and his work quality is excellent but he tends to go on about things unrelated to the actual project.
@@mossman381 I spoke prematurely I see that you had like 3 videos with it running. Even built another one. Great work. I hope to do that one day. First I need to learn how to build an engine lol

Very nice job, I will probably use a lot of your ideas. Thank you for your time and effort. Great job !!!
Glad to hear it, good luck with your build!
WOW! What a dinosaur of a shear! Kudos to you for keeping it running!

I love your design.I'm going to use your ideas on my stand
Check out my second engine stand build. Made a few changes and really like it.

Great Video. Nice Build.
Thanks 👍
Nice work!
I like it man. Excited to see that engine going on it. I am sure there will be changes coming as you find more and more utility.
Working on the next video. Should have it up this week.

Great job! I bet you could sell plans to build that.
Thanks, there is a guy that sells plans on Ebay. He only gets like $7.
That's some nice work,good job!
Thanks!
I need to learn to weld 😂 im missing out on so many nice projects 😆
More good ideas thank you.
GREAT
Do you have plans for your run stand build? The link listed is no longer available and it doesn’t look at all as good as the one you put together.
@@Preserve_Speed I don't have plans but I am pretty detailed with my measurements and have links to most of the parts I used.
I like your truck. I used to have my Grandpas 70 chevy C-20 Camper Special. Truck is gone now but hoping to use the trucks 350CID engine & TH350
trans into my 68 RS/SS Camaro
Check out my other videos. Dad has a 70 Camaro we are working on.
So you have to unbolt the mounts to adjust it?
Yes, but I had 3 different engines on this stand and they all used the same adjustment, so I didn't have to change anything.

Yes!!! Keep your tool straight, nobody wants to have a crooked nut!! LOL
The radiator overflow has two lines. What is the second line for? And are you going to paint it?

I guess that depends on how hard it is to install the engine. VW cars I have seen are pretty simple. It's a lot of work to make a run stand.
38:49...Cause no one like a loose hole!
Love it. Lots of great ideas. Did you sell it?
Not yet!
@@mossman381 how much and where you located?
What about a throttle?
You just work the carb by hand. I have built another run stand and have thought about making a throttle control. Maybe someday I will make one.
You need to add a tray to sit your timing light and vacuum gauge on while the engine is running
The stand having it's own screwdriver would be nice too. I am always having to go grab one. I was hoping someone would buy this one and I could make another one with a few additions.
how much did it cost to build?

Yup, watch the next video to see it working.
