Engine Run Stand

I've done quite a bit of work out in the shop over the past few months, but I have not been at all good about documenting it.  So I will attempt to get all caught up over the next couple days. 

When I broke in the 2110, I did it with the engine installed in the car.  With all the heat, the paint on the rear apron blistered and I had to repaint it.  This time around, I decided to build an engine run stand.  This is an old Harbor Freight stand and I mounted a cut off Beetle bell housing to the original yoke with a couple large chunks of angle iron.  Then I built a couple of support arms to keep the motor from twisting or bouncing.  I also built a control panel out of an old aluminum cast box I picked up from work.  It has a tachometer, oil pressure, oil temperature and ignition switch as well as some warning lights.
