Operational Engine Stand Set Up Complete

This be my next project to set up an Operational Engine like the guy on Ebay.
...........found this on Ebay for sale and seemed reasonable with only 23,000 miles on Engine/Trans.

Good Question :D

I just never seen an engine for sale ready to fire up on the pallet you receive it on (with Oil Cooler and engine gauges Installed).
Including complete wire harness and gauges installed (all you have to do is add Engine and Trans Oil).
I will add Radiator and functional 1990 drivers seat and air cleaner ;)
I will not include the steering wheel as shown unless I do want to make a Soap Box Derby Racer :sign10:

Test Stand.....
ECMs,
Radiators,
Oil Coolers,
Thermostats,
O2 Sensors;
All Engine Sensors which are now easy to get at,
Clutch Components,
Gauges including,
.....Engine Oil Pressure,
.....Tachometer,
.....Alternator,
.....Oil Temperature,
.....Coolant Temperature,

I cannot figure out why he has the steering wheel and the full size fuel tank?
He does not include a radiator or mufflers but does include a functional thermostat (at least until the thermostat opens at 180 deg F).
Looks like a clutch pedal and Brake pedal and throttle.....not sure why a brake?

Good way to hold the ignition cylinder/key?
and the full size fuel tank?
Already made to use the stock dual fuel pump sender.
He does not include a radiator
I wondered about that too
or mufflers
we don't need no stinkin' mufflers
but does include a functional thermostat (at least until the thermostat opens at 180 deg F).
Maybe the radiator wasn't any good, so they just left it out?

No serpentine belt either which means no AC or PS!!:confused:
Im still trying to figure out how that whole apparatus is going to ship:neutral:

Would probably have to go freight on a semi-truck trailer. You'd probably have to have a forklift on site at delivery to get it off the trailer. Someone with a large enough flat bed or enclosed trailer might be able to do it, but that pallet looks pretty damn wide.

Looks like all it needs is wheels.
Could simplify delivery?

There are no mounts holding the engine or transmission. Would be 1/4 that size if it were on a welded frame on wheels.. why all the controls? Is someone jerking our chains? A mad scientist perhaps.

I feel bad for the donor car..... :(

Looking at how the engine is secured to the 4X4s and the fact that there are no joists under the same 4x4 makes me think this is done more for show, but it seems like a bunch of work to go through just for that purpose though. I guess it may run on that set up for a bit?? Would be a great setup for a resto-mod.
