   if you try to start it on the floor it'll throw it's self around like a monkey being raped, not a pretty sight.

    screw what these guys have said, get it set up on an engine stand, then just plug it in as you would in the car!

    Its probably easier to put in the car and wire up to test before you get it fully plumbed in. Its the fuel pump that's difficult to wire up whilst its all out of the car.
