I'm planning on running my 400 outside of the
car on a custom engine cradle my friend and I are fabricating. I am running the engine without the transmission just so I can double check everything and see how it sounds instead of finding out after the engine is already bolted in the car. Since I'll be running it for 5 minute intervals I don't plan on hooking up the pulleys and am hoping this won't cause the engine to overheat? It is a short period of time. Anything I should pay close attention to while doing this?
