Engine only dyno's are only good for complete engine rebuilds with MASSIVE amounts of torque/power...

I will have massive torque and horsepower. I have the diamond pistons,skirts coated. Pauter rods coated, tri-metal bearings coated.. I figure i could get real crank horsepower figures then dyno the car on a chassis dyno to see what the loss really is.

Then the point of your post was what?? If you are so "pumped" on dynoing the enigne out of the car... then why bother asking for input? Like mark said... What do we know?

Your engine mods list doesn't really convince me (or anyone quite frankly) that you are going to be squirting out HP/tq numbers with more than you know what to do with. Just remember how many people have spun their rod bearings, etc, after a complete rebuild because the car's motor was not broken in correctly. As soon as they juice that NEVER RAN motor up to 8800RPMS (Where they take most engines on Engine Dyno tunes (well, they took mine that high)and have that thing screaming...you'll be sweatin' then.
