I've done exactly that with the motor just sitting on it's pan on the garage
floor.  Plumbed up a radiator, plugged the heater outlets, stuck a bolt in the
T-gage fitting and hooked up an oil pressure gauge to it's line.  Dropped a line
from the fuel pump into a gallon can of gas, wired up a battery, and ... Who is
Bob anyway ?

Obviously you aren't going to be doing "zoomies" or anything, but it's not too
hard to hang onto it while starting, and it should sit and idle (unless your cam
is really radical).

Second time, I used the motor to test an OD ...
