Yeah actually I cut part of the bell housing off a scrap 901 transmission to 
bolt to engines in the stand with the starter, didn't even think of making a 
stand out of one. Not a bad idea at all, though I did already have a game 
plan goin on making one just out of some steel rod stock. Seems making one 
is my only choice I guess. I can't get started until Thursday, I'm swamped 
this week until then. Just this past weekend I took out the race car I have 
been building on it maiden voyage and had a few issues come up the need to 
be fixed before going to Sebring this comming weekend.
