Paul: Block testing can be a definite asset to your efforts as long as you
have the time and money. To obtain optimum results, your engine must be
assembled with its major critical components, i.e. cooling system, fire and
fuel, balanced fan and flywheel. exhaust and a rock solid mounting system.
Instruments for measuring performance are also necessary. Or a reputable
machine shop, well equipped, can do the job for you.
