Usually people put the engine on the Dyno, not the other way around .
Sweet engine man!

I can't wait till I'm out of school and have the money and time to do stuff like this. You should record a video so we can hear it run.

Interesting simile, as the 455 was introduced in 1968 and the 747 was introduced in 1969 (first commercial flight in 1970).

Yikes!! That thing is a monster. Even the trick oil-pan is evil. Hope it doesn't damage the dyno.
