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
