If they are pretty much complete & you have a jump starter or battery and an oil pressure gauge you can start them sitting on the floor. I just did that with 2 292's I just got. Just attach the oil pressure gauge, hook the negative cable to the block, positive cable to the large post on the starter solenoid, a jumper wire from the positive cable to the coil or HEI, pour a little gas in the carb and momentarily short the positive cable to the S terminal on the solenoid. It should fire right up. Listen to how it sounds and check the oil pressure. You may have to start it a couple of times to get the oil pressure read.
