That's a nice set-up he has. On wheels to move around and everything.
TRUE STORY HERE. ONCE WE HAD A USED TO BE WELL KNOWN MACHINIST, (THAT ENDED UP WORKING FOR THE ------- BROTHERS OUT OF TEXAS), REBALANCE THE HEMI DUE TO A LOST THRUST BEARING/CRANK. WHEN WE WALKED IN , HE HAD HIS VERY FAST CAMARO ENGINE ON AN ENGINE STAND, RADIATOR PROPPED UP IN A CHAIR, GAS LINE RUNNING TO A 5 GAL. CAN HUNG FROM THE CEILING. WE WATCHED AS HE JACKED IT UP A COUPLE OF TIMES TO OVER 8000, WE WERE USED TO THE HEMI`S TORQUE AND BACKED UP CLEAR INTO THE NEXT ROOM. nothing happened , the sbc didn`t have enough torque to do anything but twist the stand a little. We were sure it was going to be a disaster ! That Camaro was really fast too ! He was welding up bbc cranks to make strokers before they became popular. He`s now diseased, won`t call his name for respect.
