To fire a new engine on a stand, can a 428 4sp bellhousing be used so there is something to mount the starter to ? Car will be an auto so engine will have the flexplate on it. Got a buddy whos close to ready to fire one up. Thanks

.

That is what I plan to do when we break in the 445 on a stand. It will be allot easier that moving it around with a C-6 hanging off of it! Good thing you have a manual bell houding available to you.

Good luck with the startup! ww
