Removing the engine, coils, ECU, handset, exhaust, etc would be labor intensive, as the coils are mounted on the firewall, the wiring for the ignition and handset go all the way from the firewall to the instrument panel in a narrow center console that took hours to "snake" the wires through, (engine is in the rear, and panel is in the front on a pusher) the handset is hard-mounted to the instrument panel, and the engine is mounted with an aluminum plate sandwiched between the oil pan and block, so removal would require reassembling the pan, shortening the oil pickup tube so that I could install the pan without the 1/2" thick aluminum spacer, my water pump has -16 AN fittings welded to it, so the dyno tuner could not use radiator hoses, and a host of other tasks, which while not impossible, are very time consuming to say the least.  I would gladly pay a lot of money for someone to do it on site. (mobile tuners).

   You say you're willing to spend some money.  Why not
spent $3-400 on duplicating everything not bolted to the
engine mount?  Four coils = $130; two fuel pumps = $200;

   Mount your existing engine/mount rad's, etc. to a mock
firewall.  You'll need a couple of five gallon cans for
fuel tanks.  Remove re-drive for connecting to the dyno.
When you're done, you've got spare coils, or you can sell
them; same-same the fuel pumps.  Heck, I may be in a
position to buy them from you when you're done - depending
on how far along I am with the airframe.  Everything I'm
buying now is going on my test stand, which is a duplicate
of how it will be mounted on the finished airplane.
