I have been wanting to build one of these for awhile and have finally started on it. You guys should be able to fugure out what it is, it will keep me busy while I wait patiently for the gm adapters to be completed.

Actually I have no idea what you're doing. Looks like you made some kind of engine stand using a Mitsu AWD bellhousing. However, if that's what you're doing, I don't know what I'd trust the aluminum to hold a big heavy engine in that position.

So what are you working on?

I am building an engine test stand. There will be at leat two other mounting points on there so the bellhousing will not be the only thing supporting the engine.

Here are some more pics, sorry for the crappy ones. I still have plumb, wire, make straps for the cell, put casters on, and a few other things.

I love it.
Your engine stand looks real good. I didn't need anything else to do. But you got me wanting to build one now.

I got the wiring and plumbing done so I can test it out, started the engine up and made sure everything was functioning properly. I also made a ss cover for the ecu/mpi and wiring, I will be making a lexan cover to go on the fron of it and I need to mount up the fuel plumbing, loom and tie up the wiring, and disassemble for paint.

Thanks G, btw, the harness that was in the talon is being used, along with the keydiver 750 chip
