I see an orange oil filter on that motor.

 

I hope he had something to brace it when he shut it down - the way they shake the trucks on shutdown you'd think it would flip the pallet over!

I watched a guy start a chevy 350 on a floor once... ... He thought he could straddle it and hold it down...
