[paintonmyhands]

I like it brother!

[gmindel1965]

how did you mount the starter without the bell housing.... how did you start the engine

[757WN]

that sounds beautiful.

[Greaseland]

I'm going to have to make a how to video.

[JohnnyDesaint]

@Greaseland HELL YA PLEASE DO..I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE GJUNKYARD AND TEST AN ENGINE BUT I DONT KNOW HOW THE WIRING IS RAN SO I COULD START IT FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

[dekeyser11]

Nice to see it can be done. Was hoping so.

Have some possibly stupid questions...

Just run a tube into a gas tank for the mechanical fuel pump, right? No senders needed?

And just run straight 12 volts to the starter and distributor/coils? No fuses or other circuitry?

Kind of excited, done my first engine and just gotta see if it will start now.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

[mageac]

@dekeyser11 fuses would be a good idea, just in case... well other then the main starter cable of course

[fpontiac]

engine sounds Nice

[PinelochTundra]

if you were to do this how do you hook the engine electrical up such as the distributor and stuff, because i wanna do this but i have no idea how to hook the ignition side up, i know how to on the starter but not the ignition.

[mavue]

how did you start the engine?

[dragman59]

i run big blocks on those same stands all the time . have not broke one yet . check out my videos .

[Greaseland]

283 is a small block chevy.Same as the 350 in the video.

[bad66chevelles]

hey i have a rebuilt 283 is this the same engine cradle thats on amazon for the same amount you paid. if so then good i want to test and see how my 283 thats rebuilt proforms can you help me?

[zx12ryder]

dude i love it....i definately need one

[meronmotors]

But how are you going to load it?

[julieyard1]

grease, you are a king among men. LOL

good job dude, you inspired me to make one myself. mine are '63 impala and 71 C20 projects

[Greaseland]

Dirt modified headers I got at a swap meet to put on my hot rod that I never built.

[andrew0901280]

holy headers whats that thing goin in like an s10 or somthing to streach over the frame rails

[cooler092171]

Your distributor is a tooth off.

[outlawmonk68]

great idea, but the headers make it near impossible to tune while running. What did you accomplish with this setup? Just seeing if it runs well? That makes sense, but I wouldn't trust some chinese stand on wheels!

[Greaseland]

if something goes wrong it's alot easyer to fix with the engine out of the car.

[yuhmother]

@Greaseland I like your style, I'm working on a 81 TA right now what stand is that, its the smarter thing to do !!!!!!

[richthecardude94]

cool

[aztecnova]

you gave me a great idea, i will soon post a video of my test stand.

[stephenjray1988]

what camshaft are you running ?

[Greaseland]

Summit#1101

[voteforpedro83]

Looks a little like the flexplate was loose (seems to wobble in the first part of the film)... am I right?

[Greaseland]

I think that was an optical illusion.Maybe it was flexing.When the converter is connected to it ,it stiffens the whole thing up

[royal58]

where and how many cubic inches?

[alekweiss]

what engine is that???

[motorbreath302]

I want to live next door to you. Pretty badass.

[SPEEDRACER1606]

Very cool dude!! I want one.
