Can you run 49 motor on stand with bell housing attached, clutch and pressure plate still installed but no transmission shaft going through to fly wheel. Thanks Fred

I don't see why not as long as the clutch disc is centered with the pressure plate.

You didn't specify what kind of stand your engine is mounted on. It isn't safe to start and run an engine on a regular stand because the torque generated by the flywheel is considerable, and can cause the stand to topple when the engine speed is changed. At our shop, we seldom start an engine outside of the chassis. If we need to do it, we attach the engine to a floor cradle made of sturdy lumber.

It's done routinely & I've even seen people run them setting on the floor although I wouldn't recommend that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLqH7eoZiT0

My question would be: What are you providing for cooling?

If the pressure plate hasn't been released since the engine was removed, it should be OK. If in doubt, insert a pilot tool or old transmission shaft, whichever you use when installing a clutch, to be sure the disk is still in place.

Thanks, I took it out of a wrecked car to install in a another car and wanted to be sure all was as good as it was represented to be before installing it. Transmission came out with motor so I feel safe to crank it up. Thank for the feedback, Fred
