I think it actually will fit in the back of my pickup (haven't taken
the time to measure yet), and as you know, we live right next to some

If it were me, I would try to pick up a used trailer and turn that into
my test stand. Then you won't be risking damage to your engine from
repeated loading/unloading operations every time you want to do some
testing. This assumes that you will want to use your pickup truck for
things other than a test stand.

run smoothly lean of peak. I need to be standing there in the howling
wind taking down readings at regular intervals throughout the testing.


You could get one of those surveillance camera setups that are
advertised in various places and mount it to read your instruments. You
would then be able to monitor them from the relative comfort of your
pickup cab.
