Model A/B Test Stand
I’ve searched and found some interesting ideas, but haven’t found any actual plans.
I like the stand that was shown from the Santa Anita A’s, I’m sure there are others. Does anyone have any plans that show the measurements, materials etc. Thanks |

Re: Model A/B Test Stand
Some people just use the front end of an old Model A chassis.

Re: Model A/B Test Stand
This is the engine stand that is on the Santa Anita A's web page. All you need is an engine block to figure out the required dimensions.

Re: Model A/B Test Stand
This is what I made for an engine stand.

Re: Model A/B Test Stand
Dyno may be a bit beyond the capabilities of your average shade-tree Model A mechanic...

I built this stand out of stuff I had around the shop. I did have to buy the casters and sheet metal for the gas tank. It started out as a quick and dirty something to run the engine for my Fine Points 31 Roadster but I sort of got carried away. I do enjoy doing this sort of stuff. Chris W. |

Re: Model A/B Test Stand
Summit racing has engine stand kits, I believe Harbor freight does also.
