Does anybody have any pictures or advice for starting and testing your F134 while mounted to an engine stand? Seems like it would be alot easier to deal with before mounting to the Trans and then onto the frame.

You'd have to build a stand to do this that would support the front and the rear of the block. There was a video I saw of someone doing this a while back. Don't go trying to do this on your run of the mill roll around stand.

Engine start.

The jeep's chassis is all the test stand you need with the fenders and grill off.

Back when I had gotten my first M38. I tested the motor, tranny right on the floor of my garage, no smoke, no gear grinding, power washed it and in the jeep it went, drive it for 8 years until I sold it buzz
