Running & driving will help the sale pitch for sure. More than a few potential buyers won't pony up the necessary funds when they can't hear the project run. The most common advertisement line of "it just needs 'this & that' to be great" is a big watch-out for me unless I'm familiar w/the seller.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
