a mate has a an Oldsmobile engine that he's had under his bench for years and doesnt have a use for it.
nothing fancy just bog standard. i wondered about having it and getting it running as a demo engine on a wheeled trolley.
it wold be good as a project to do with the kids to get them to learn about engines and as space and money stop us from having a kit/interesting car
at present it would be a good way to keep ourselves amused until things improve.
has anyone done this? or seen similar things done?
personally i recall seeing some of our american friends with a v8 loose in the back of a pick up revving that at a hot rod shop, occasionally throwing
water on it to cool it! but i'd like something a bit more under control!

Colleges all up and down the country with car workshops have an engine set up on a trolley for teaching, with a tiny fuel tank, batter, radiator,
electric fan key switch and starter button set up
Used to use a bodyshop down in Hastings years ago - they had a Daf66 engine sitting on top of a 50gal oil drum. When asked about it, I was told it
was their battery charger!
