In theory if you had a partial frame with exhaust all the way to the last O2 sensor and the wiring harness sitting there ready to be plugged into the engine it should work. But only with a 4.3...

All I would need is y pipe with an 02 sensor plus a cat converter.Just needs to be something I can hook an engine up to so I can hear it run before putting inside the vehicle.
I built one a longtime ago for testing carbed engines.I made up a frame that held the engine crossmeber with mounts.Hooked a mount in the front with radiator.I wasnt realy big at all.Guess Im dreaming again.
