Engine Start / Test Stand Plans - Ford, GM, Mopar

Description

This is a
complete set of plans
to build this engine stand.
This is for
plans only
- no materials, parts or engines included. Plans include all dimensions, instructions, list of materials required, illustrations and pictures. There are 24 pages of plans and instructions, including wiring diagrams, materials list and complete instructions. Plans are in PDF format or printed.
I can also provide a link to my web site with several photos and YouTube videos of my stands for reference. This site also includes pictures and videos of this stand that others have built from these plans.
Start, run and tune your engine before installing it into your car. I am a muscle car hobbyist, and like most, I have limited garage space for storing large equipment. I designed this engine start/test stand so that I could be sure my rebuilt engines were ready to run before installing into my newly restored cars. When I first looked around for starter stands, I couldn't find anything inexpensive or collapsible. With some tube steel, a drill and a welder (you must be able to weld), you can build one of these in a weekend.
This stand collapses to less than 9" deep to be stored against a wall or in a corner out of the way. It can be adapted to fit most V8 engines (I've run several Chevy big block and Ford small block engines  on it).
I accept no responsibility or liability for the functionality, craftsmanship or structural integrity of a stand built from these plans.
I can only attest that I have built this stand per the plans and have run many small and large block engines on this stand.
The printed plans (24 pages) will be mailed via USPS (United States only).  I will also email a set of plans in PDF format so you don't have to wait for the printed plans to arrive.
Please provide your email address with your purchase.
I typically ship the same day.  However, I do travel for business or vacation occasionally (never more than a week).  When this happens, I will ship immediately upon my return.
If you are interested in having these plans sent only by email (cheaper), see this same listing in the "Everything Else" catagory.
