Thanks for the very good info. Somewhere in the past during discussions here I was reading how to make a cheap engine run stand out of purchased storage stands by adding a few items to check temp, oil pressure, etc.
I don't have much experience, (one) in building engines so this one has me a little apprehensive. Since my car isn't painted yet, it was tempting to run the engine before paint. But, I came to the same conclusion that the easiest way to run the engine is to install it in the car. Just checking to see how others went through the thought process. Larry
