Hey folks, I am getting closer to having my slant six back together and I am wondering what consensus is on floor starting my engine before putting it into my car.
I am not wanting to have to pull it out again after installing it if I find an oil leak somewhere.
Question is it doable? If so are there any suggestions on doing it? I thought about getting an old 904 to starting it on but then thought maybe it would be a good idea to perhaps put my rebuilt 904 there to see if it has any transmission leaks.
What are yalls thoughts and suggestions?
Thanks folks.

Putting it in the car is safer.

x2 on that, unless you have some time and a welder and tubing available then you can make a stand for the job (and have a place to mount the radiator etc...I had a buddy fab one up for me out of his pile of spare steel.

Thanks figured as much but its me putting it in and out and hat the prospect of having to take it out again for an oil leak and I wanted to reduce my workload as much as possible.
But I guess I can just tell myself its practice eh?
Cheers all!
John
