Making it possible to jerry rig up a full system to run on the stand( for science).

As for the head gasket , if it ain't broke...
But I know your itching to see its innards!
You are absolutely right on both counts Bob.

If I haven't fitted the engine to something soon I was thinking I'd make some brackets to fit the 2 engine mounts plus something for the back.

You are probably right about the head gasket, but pulling the head off would only take 20 minutes and I could check the bores :-)
