A user friendly engine delivery system (10) is provided which employs a wheeled engine pallet assembly (12) for transferring a dressed engine (18) to a dynamometer room where the engine will be subsequently tested. A set of guide rails (68) work in conjunction with a self-centering pallet locating system (14) in order to strategically locate the engine pallet (12) relative to the centerline (40) of the dynamometer. Once the engine pallet (12) is properly aligned, a clamping system (86) is used to secure the engine pallet assembly (12) to the bed plate (62) of the dynamometer (42). A flexible fluid manifold (16) is attached to the pallet asembly (12) and allows a test engineer to uniquely design a fluid manifold (16) to have the proper fluid fittings (124, 126, and 128) that are needed for a particular test application. The engine delivery system (10) is versatile inthat it can accommodate both front and rear wheel drive engines and further offers the flexibility of dual side entry ways.
