Engine stand

Guess I shoulda been a little more specific. I was thinking that I had
something bookmarked somewhere That explained how to hook up the fuel,
electric etc. Also I would think that instead of wasting a tranny it surely
could be left in tact?

Ah. Here's some of the electric:

It may be desirable to hook the Oil pressure switch to
an indicator light too.

The fuel line from the pump inlet can simply dangle
into a fuel can (kept at a safe distance).

Yes, if you have a spare tranny, it can be left intact
and used for starting.
