[TR] jumper cables? extra oil?

Paul,
If you are going to start the motor on the chassis without the body, it is  
highly recommended that you connect an oil pressure gauge and a temp  gauge.  
Use the temp gauge from the dash and go to the parts store and buy  an oil 
pressure gauge ($15) or use the one from the dash as well.
Do not attempt to thread the fittings from the store gauge on to the motor  
fittings as the thread is different.  Use a short piece of fuel line and a  
couple of stainless hose clamps.  It will work fine.  
Look at your wiring diagram.  All you need to do is to screw your  regulator 
and solenoid to a piece of board and run a few wires and you can  connect in 
your generator, and use a remote starter switch.  Put a  toggle in the wire to 
the distributor so you can shut it off.  
Crank it first with the toggle off so you build oil pressure before  
starting.  Even if it has been started before you will get a very dry start  if it 
hasn't been started in a long time.
 
(Make sure it is in neutral!)
