Engine Test Stand The Only Way To Fly
Hi Dave
Great work on the test stand, using the frame rails like that is such a good idea. Should make fitting in the eventual vehicle a lot easier. As you said now is the time to fix all the little problems and run in the engine. I always try to schedule engine testing for the winter great way to heat the shop each morning, ended up doing one engine in the summer and it got a little hot in the shop. Your whole project has been an interesting read. Keep up the good work. Cheers Phil

Thanks Phil, the stand will be put to good use as I have 4 more engines to run up. Recommend it to anyone if they can test run their engine before installation as it is a lot easier to do any kind of fixes before hand.
Today was another great day as I had a chance to install the engine into the carrier. Doug Lavoie came by to give me a hand to install it and he was a great help

Well I was able to get the exhaust pipes made from the engine to the cast outlets in the floor and installed this week with the help of Lynn's pictures and measurements of an original one
. I used a J pipe that is mandrel bent and did both sides with it, Also had the lower part that goes into the cast outlet machined up and it slides right into the pipe and then welded up..

Also I got a couple of the flex hoses made up from an example and installed from the oil cooler bypass valve to the lines on the frame, Its nice that they had the fittings for it as it was British thread. As for the lengths the parts book says 27" overall length for the long one and 23" for the shorter one. In installing them I would recommend going to 24" overall length for the shorter one as the crimp on ends are a little longer than the originals and give a little less to the flex points so a little longer on the shorter one will have a better curve out of the fittings, Just my 2 cents.
Next in line will be the conduit and wiring, Will be nice to get that over with
