I'll start working on it this Sunday. Maybe I'll do a build thread on it.

Please do. Enjoy seeing others handy work!.

Here is what we've been using up here for a number of years now! It has seen likely 30 or 40 engines. We have many square backplates now with various engine mounting patterns. I have ran 20cc right up to 250cc Mokis, 210cc Valach, 220cc piped quads.

It's currently got a Moki150 flanged to it with a Moki257-7cyl coming up next week

Hopefully this fall, I'm going to build a new stand. Similar configuration with a few improvements...

* On a drawer slide system to be able to measure pounds of thrust
* Motor mounted inverted so that headers are easily accessible during header length adjustment/pipe tuning
* Telemetry with a possibility to measure engine spool up (a custom telem module)

Cheers
