Thread: Engine stand run...

Hey guys, hope I'm in the right section.. I have my S/C 3800 on an engine stand. I bought it
after it was taken out of the PO's car. I would like to find a way to hook it up and see if I can
get it to run on the stand... Anyone tried doing this or am I just looking to do a retarded act
that will "F" something up? I bought 2 engines, 2 PCM's and 1 harness. 1 engine has a hole in
the block with only the injectors and the blower attached to it. The other one is complete I
believe. Not sure what PCM goes to what engine. Both engines are out of a '97 Regal GS. If
there is any info on how to condust this test, please help if possible! I am curious to see if it
runs before I put it in my sandrail...

Thanks,

Tonka

I know it can be done but not sure how I did see it done back in th 70's on carberated cars

Thanks guys. I'll check the local speed shop here and see what they will charge me..

Dang Bill! I called the guy at the Speed and Marine shop. He told me $25. He said I can "borrow" the
shop area but, he will help me if needed... Not sure how to take this?? Plus, the engine is on a stand, no
starter, no bell housing to hold starter, no fuel pump and a dude (me) that has no idea what goes where
when hooking it up. Do you have an idea to get me the basic hookup on just to get the motor to fire and
run for about 20 seconds? The harness was taken out the right way but, the PCM's where just "cut" and
removed... Thanks a million!

I took a pic of the harness but, it says it is too big to upload on here... Not sure whats going on

Thanks for the vid AJ but, I tried even posting on that dude's video to ask how he hooked it up...

Got that Slow!! HAHAHA! What pump should I use?
