I have absolutely no doubt that you've underestimated your design's capacity. That thing is STOUT looking. What I am wondering is how strong are the bolt holes the flywheel housing bolts to? I'm picturing the mounting plate you are fabricating to sit flush on the block, not with "legs" like most off-the shelf .5T jobbers have. Am I understanding your explanation correctly?

The stand you are building Looks about the same size as the ones I used for Big Cam rebuilds.

By the way, did you get all the PDF files from Chassis Fab at Wyocheck?
