Recently I got around to run up the engine on a test stand I made up from a couple frame rails from a MK2 carrier that came as parts when I purchased mine. It worked out really good as all the mounting holes were there to install every thing. I used my dash panel with all of the gauges so I could test them as well to make sure everything was working before installing it into the carrier. I had it running for around 4-5 hours total and fixed a few minor issues I had and was well worth making the test stand. In the end it is running great and only needs to turn over 1 revolution to fire and very happy with the results
