Bob, unless you rev the heck out of it, it's not going anywhere. Here's mine running just sitting on the engine install cart:

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Much appreciated.
It will be mounted on an engine stand but not one purchased. It was made
many year ago by my father and it is VERY sturdy. The main bearing that
holds the engine is almost a foot in diameter and was originally the hub from
a large bulldozer wheel. The frame is from thick walled 6 inch pipe. In
past lives it has supported heavy diesel engines; my father built things to
last!
The stand will be in my garage right by the door with the dual exhausts
supported and extending about 8 feet outside the door.
All I want to do is run it for 15-20 minutes or so at 1500 RPM or so and
make sure that there are no leaks or anything else not as it should be
before I remount it in the UltraVan. Getting it in and out of the UltraVan is a
lot more difficult than a car due to the much tighter clearances in the
UltraVan. I just want to make sure that, before I put it in that I have done
everything I can to make sure it is going to be OK. This is engine
installation number 3 in this vehicle and I really don?t want to do a 4th.
Regards,
Bob
