  Has anyone built a low buck stand to run an engine on?  I just want to use 
it for breaking in the cam and initial tune before bagging it up while the 
body work is done.  I got hold of the guy who builds the stands that Mopar puts 
on their crate motors.  He lives in Tennessee and sells the stands for 25.00.  
He's going to ship me 2, a RB and an LA.  He uses 1" square tubing and says it 
should be ok.  I'm not going to rev the motor over 2500 and there won't be 
any load on it.  I'm thinking that I should bolt it to a couple of 6' 4x6" 
perpendicular to the crank so it won't rotate, and can weld in some reinforcements 
if it looks weak in some area. A radiator, an outboard motor gas tank, battery 
and gauges should do it. Any ideas?   Joe
