4.9 / 300 Engine Test Stand

Does anyone make a test stand that will work with the Ford 4.9 /300?

Any plans out there for building one?

I've searched to no avail...

Thanks!

Recently built a test stand for a 300-6 with a plywood wiring panel on the side.
The stand is mounted on 6" dia rubber caster wheels so it can be moved around.
Use a glass pak muffler.
Wide Bronco radiator is mounted to the frame with a 12 vdc auto electric fan.
Use stock engine mounts.
The C6 is mounted to the 300-6.

Measurements and pictures would be excellent. I have an idea of what I want to do, but seeing what others have done might save me some time and prevent going in the wrong direction!
Thanks!
