Sorry to be so unclear. I have only the one engine that I want to create a sub frame for. I want to build up a custom intake and exhaust system for the engine, which is likewise being mated to a manual transaxle. All parts are being custom fabbed together, not a factory thing. So what I was after was to start off with a simple test stand which would allow me to do the fabbing before I create the final sub frame. I'd like to have all the pieces put together so I can best see how to layout the subframe to hold suspension components, clear exhaust, allow access to maintenance items, etc. In my opinion, I can get away with cheap mat'l for a test stand, modifying the test stand as I need to, before I commit higher quality (read expensive) mat'l, not to mention fea and cad computer time.
During the development of my in/out systems I may want to put engine on dyno. This is being done in my garage, so portability is nice, but safety is important. No fun times if I kill myself in the process.

I was hoping that some of you could give me some opinions on how I might best jury rig this temporary test stand.

Did this help, or did I just go around in a circle?
