I am gona build one summer of 05. Going to use heavy wall square tubeing , hang the engine from a a frame and build it to the hight that I like. Ive help build several from a diesel shop I used to work for. If we had the engine out of a truck or piece of equipment it always got run for at least 30 min to an hour before putting back in. Mainely to check for oil leaks. Man you should here a v12 Cummins on str8 exhust. Any ways I also agree to the dyno aspect of it to. We always chassis dyno the trucks when done. But for first time start up and a little run time, I think a engine test stand is well worth the money and time to build it. JMO
