Watch me Dyno a 50+ year old race engine - and double the horsepower !

Just a fun little video of how my dyno works and views of some of my shop. In this video I show you how I set up and make a Dyno run on a vintage BMC race engine. You will see my engine dyno stand in action, along with how i hook it up and run it. The engine being dyno’d is a 1310 cc 4 cylinder BMC A-Series engine from the 60’s found in many British sports cars of the day such as the Mini Cooper, Austin Healey Sprite, Morris, and MG cars. It is still used in many race cars today in the vintage racing activities all over the globe.
PS...If you just want to see the Dyno run and results....skip to 8:33 in the video).
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed sharing it!

What is with the sleeves? Are you hiding some not youtube friendly tattoos?

[@allthingsvintageracing8656]

Haha! Thanks for noticing! Those are my Ninja sleeves! They allow me to get my arms in places normal mortals can’t. Kind of like gloves…only for your arms. Thanks for the comment!

That'd be an interesting video, but the pov stopped me watching after a few minutes.

[@allthingsvintageracing8656]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll keep that in mind for the next one.
