Easy Run Test Stand; Out of Business?
I know at least one member has one of these. I was going to build my own, as I have all the steel I need. Bought a bunch a few years ago at a surplus auction for about 5 cents on the dollar. Building one for just Chevy motors would be pretty easy; but I need to accommodate an SBC, a Supercharged Studebaker V8 and a Ferrari V12. That will be a bit more challenging.
But, the older I get the less time I have, and frankly, things I could knock out in a weekend when I was SuperDave's age, take longer now. So, I was considering purchasing one. Looks like they may be out of business. Anyone heard anything? I did request a quote from a third party vendor, but haven't heard anything yet.

Just received confirmation from Andrew at Easy Run that they are not making them.

I bought the USA made stand kit from Summit and am currently assembling it. Definitely recommend and I believe it would accommodate any engine with possibly some adapters required for the V12.

How long is it? I was looking at the 66 inch model of the EasyRun.
Would also like a feature that allows bolting up a transmission, either manual or auto. Andrew just sent me another email indicating he is hoping to restart production. If you have time, it would be nice if you could post some pics of the progress. I know Eric (vintagemusclecar) has one he has used for years.

This one is 50" long and uses a bellhousing for the rear mount plate. I'm not aware of another stand that allows the transmission to be installed, unfortunately

While on the subject, I cannot find a universal radiator that has dual inlets and outlets.
Any kind of search for such a beast just yields results for a "dual pass" radiator. Somebody made one, as that is what came with the EasyRun. Where do I get one?
