c2xe redtop engine start up be for I put it in my car

[GGs GTE]

Hello everyone and thanks for having the time for reading this post
I have a c2xe redtop that I bought in August 2012 it's sat on my
Garage floor and has been sat there since I bought it I just
Wanted to know how I can start it up just to see if it's going
To run has it was removed from a astra gsi and I haven't
Seen it running yet any advice on getting it to start up would be very helpful

Only safe way is to make a steel frame and mount it to that.I wouldn't like to start one without personally.
Just a box would do,then have a jerry can with your fuel lines going in and a battery for your lives.
When you have done this you will see its easier to fit it into a car

What's the wiring side of hooking it up just for it to tick over that's the only thing stopping me from hearing it run and i've got a few mate's here that will hold it steadily

this is waaaay more bother than its worth.
rigging up a fuel tank, pump engine mounts, loom, fuesebox, switched lives, ECU. just crack on with the conversion. its going to be easier to rebuild/repair the engine in the car than it will be to rig it up on the floor.

If it was running before you bought it, its unlikely to have failed, unless its been sat in a swamp. pull the plugs, and crank it over by hand. if it barr's over nice and smooth..its fine.
