Ehhh...not so much. Having the Olds bolted to the stand, yeah, it wiggled 'n' jiggled a little. I ran it for four hours; and the only thing is that you have to be careful with the throttle opening as the torque reaction will want to twist the engine if you're opening or closing the throttle too fast. Slowly opening and closing is no big deal at all.

Having this one supported by the chain to the hoist took care of all that. Ran nice 'n' smooth, no jiggling, not much of a torque reaction (but I AM careful about opening/closing the throttle suddenly.) Short Story: It's a big sweetheart.

Steve,

You care to chime in on this one????

I'm just "monkey see; monkey do" from Steve's advice on this post:
