New trans dyno

Building a trans run-in stand now. Believe it or not, I have people buying transmissions, even shops that install them incorrectly and burn them right up. So this stand will allow me to run them in, make sure everything is ok, then show the customer exactly what he needs to do to make a proper installation. I will use a big brake rotor and caliper for a brake, will go to a pump later. Then I'll be able to add the necessary electronics to measure power output. This project will allow me to tune carburetors after a rebuild,curve distributors, and check alternators after I build one. Fun project.

Jef....thats pretty cool! What's your recommended procedure for transmission run in for the guys who aren't lucky enough to have  a run-in stand?

I see your test stand engine has an electric water pump. Have you ever run one of those successfully on the street ? I've always wanted to give one a try.

That's a great looking setup, and should save you some headaches in the long run.
