Excellent job, definitely versatile, aspecialy how it should cater for multiple engines, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@FatManLeather]

That's a great idea, a lot of us don't have enough shop space so we need to save what we have. Another great video.

[@madgingercustoms]

Thank you!!

[@robertlacob8831]

Another Dave Masterpiece!! Every mechanic should have one of these!

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks man!!

[@wyattoneable]

That's a great idea and a solid build. I especially like the way you ran the wires. Very tidy.

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks! Just fired it back up to show the kids. A bit loud for them lol.

Thank you sir!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

great video have wanted to do something like that for years hopefully am inspired now to push forward

[@madgingercustoms]

@@DependableAutoTruck Do it!!! I'd love to see your version.

[@glenns5627]

Good idea and good build! Not too fancy and totally workable. Also I could just listen to an engine run like that on a loop, like those "sleep to Thunderstorms" videos ... since I was a kid.

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks!! It's a decent running little small block for the little money I paid.

[@loranlong2154]

Good job

Hey Dave, I usually get a kick out of your videos because you are a true to life type guy and this video did not disappoint. I have been wanting to build a multi engine run stand myself. I have half a dozen engines I want to fire up and let run without bolting them into a vehicle. I like that you designed a fold up that incorporates all the good stuff needed to tell ya what you want to know about the engine, short of being able to pull a load. I feel silly that I did not think of a fold up myself. So thank you for doing your version which is proof of concept to me. Work Safe, Be well

[@madgingercustoms]

@@chuckster6513 I'm hoping it will be used more in the future and I'll get pics of what it looks like folded up.

[@barrymurray8264]

Wow, this is fancy ! More than I’m used to. Phew, very nice. I love you Dave. LOL brother you’re a hoot. Please keep up the videos, thanks.

[@madgingercustoms]

We will certainly try to keep the video coming!

[@mikedsilva]

nicely done

[@madgingercustoms]

Thank you for watching it!

[@mikedsilva]

@@madgingercustoms do me a favour and go watch some of mine too!

[@Brooksyscarrestorations]

G'day Dave!! 😊... I've been wanting to make one of these for a while... might watch this on repeat a few times hehe

[@madgingercustoms]

You should and put the Triumph motor on it!

[@Brooksyscarrestorations]

@madgingercustoms yeah it's on the cards if I can't get it going... always other stuff getting in the way lol... like man flu took me out for 2 weeks

[@dipe277]

So exciting to have it fire, and idle right off!

[@madgingercustoms]

HEI and a new carb. Can't beat that.

[@chuckschultz7028]

Another awesome episode! Can't wait to see a Jeep 4-liter on it.

[@madgingercustoms]

I have an old 258 out of a CJ. I may throw it on there to see how it fits.

[@JohnWatson-s7x]

Can you link the switches set up? Thanks, GREAT VIDEO!

[@jimwelds077]

Wire on the relays look bigger than the ones I have. What size wire did you use for daisy chains also? I like that. I built mine with only one relay for the fans with a circuit breaker and a couple fuses.

[@madgingercustoms]

Most of this was 14ga. Ignition was 10. I just used what I had.

[@VegasRT500]

At around 5:45 you were welding some tubing round stock onto the engine stand but yet you used square stock to fit over it? Was there a particular reason that you used it? Because at 8:11 you slid some square stock over it and ran a bolt through them both?

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Dave :) also myself like use fuse on.lots things to and don't mind more than just one too ! Had first FWD car in 1996 and was switches mobile because something had to electrical problems and surprizes me had 6 switches on it all fused up too and last long time right up 2005 when my middle older brother gave up on too ! Was KCar 1988 Dodge Aires gave to my middle older brother in 1998 he said was fun to understand on switches to when all label up too Lol ! Also want Lol Dave my late Dad had 1968 International 624 German Desiel fuel motor the Fuel Shut of cable broke on in 1992 also he ordered in by International dealer the New one but took 7 days get it and so wire up A Snowmobile Throttle cable to tractor Throttle cable too metal too! But did job and I done lots Wire up to vechiles for years and I enjoy to Dave and not scary unless burn electrical parts and that scare me !

[@madgingercustoms]

Yeah, once you understand how it works it isn't scary. I'd love to see that International!

[@tomschultz2833]

Awesome job, but how will you deal with bellhousing mount starters?

[@madgingercustoms]

I'd imagine a trellis style mount would have to be made.

[@tomschultz2833]

Nice run stand. Chevy in a Ford not nice 😢. I know, but had to say it.

[@madgingercustoms]

I'm prepared for the hate messages lol. I've looked for 302/351 locally and came up empty unless I want to buy unknown junk for $1200. This makes sense for us financially.
