Re: Big Block on the engine stand
This thread reminded me of seeing a small block running on a 4 wheel stand in a shop awhile back. Guy had an adapter for connecting a garden hose into the water pump inlet. He had a hose valve on the water outlet on the intake manifold. He had a temp. gauge screwed into the manifold. He turned on the hose & started the engine and regulated the temperature with the valve by adjusting how much water he let flow through the engine. I thought it was nice to be able to run an engine without the belts/fan/radiator. This guy assembled and installed engines out of his home shop and liked to make running adjustments & check for leaks before installation.
