Stan,

Excellent idea! Reading about your test stand adventures has made me recall 
the many run and test hours I used to put on the older VW air-cooled motors. 
The accessibility is excellent and the ability to monitor and adjust things 
couldn't be better. I fondly remember the hours spent trying to tune the old 
Holley BugSpray two barrel and the many hours on the stand tuning my center 
IECO four barrel on the modified Corvair six that I then mounted in the 72 
Sundial hightop. 

I have several spare diesel trans bell housings and will have a rotary 
adapter plate put together by the weekend for the Audi Turbo engine. I was 
also considering making up a unistrut cage to mount the engine from the '82 
diesel frame supports in order to instrument some of the engine mount and 
exhaust questions. 

Good input, not as tasty as a rack of Nürmberger Bratwursts with a tankard of 
Aügustinerbrau, but stimulating nonetheless!

Thanks, 

Frank Grunthaner
