Anyone have a nord (2L) engine test stand somewhere within a few hours of Portland, OR that they'd like to part with or rent out?

If not, anyone have some designs they'd care to share? My application will be minimal use...like once every 5 years, so something simple would work well.

Thanks.

oops apologies for posting twice as the program had a lag and hit enter twice. Hmm, wondering if the program should do that or not....

I am pretty sure that Andrew Watrey has posted pictures of one made from 2x4's

Yeah - have seen that and is likely the route I will go if nothing shows up out of this thread.

One thing I should’ve said is that I’ll be putting a Spica engine on it. Haven’t thought through the electrics for the pump yet.

I think that Richard Jemison has also posted pictures of his run stand in the past year.

There are several threads on the BB about using the HF stand along with an adapter. Here's one: (82) Harbor freight engine stand-works but a caveat | Alfa Romeo Forums (alfabb.com) If you google it, more will pop up.

I believe Andrew's stand also featured a lawn chair.

Yeah - it is in the same thread as Andrew's. Very slick...but beyond my metal fab capabilities.

I'm looking for an engine test stand...thread above is just an engine stand. And, FWIW, I am using that same Harbor Freight stand with fabbed metal block as a side-mount. Works great, except can't install exhaust manifold until off the stand.

LCA (lawn chair assisted) test stand is here:

Or, a more Alfa-specific non-LCA version:

Well, I was looking for simple...and that delivers in spades...lawn chair optional, even.
