Perhaps I can remove the parts and do something like you describe after I get through my test. I thought the test was crude when I first read about it, but it's grown on me.

Not sure how I'd put the nut on the shaft, or find the junk transmission. But it sounds a LOT more accurate than what I will be doing.
LOL... I will admit it is dangerously close to back yard hillbilly engineering but it does work.

Does your motor have an auxiliary shaft in the front for an accessory drive? If so you can get a shaft coupler from Graingers or McMaster Carr and weld a nut to that. Then but the trans in the highest gear and block it or have someone hold the brakes. Find the original engine torque specs and watch the torque gauge.
