If you plan to run it in the chassis for the public, it may be a good idea to get the fuel tank and lines in place. :)
Absolutely the engine can be run with little additional equipment installed. Many have witnessed engines "bench run" without even being in the frame. In fact, I witnessed an actual Packard 352 run this way. (It was an extra we had from a parts Clipper, and was sold after rebuild.
A good thing to consider for anyone buying an engine that is supposedly good. Have it bench tested before install, or before buying if possible.
