Tips for starting engine on the ground

I'm thinking it would be just as easy to put it in the car as doing it the right way.

Not really the car is at a body shop getting spiffed up and is totally apart while the engine is in my home garage and my cousin wants to ship the whole thing done to Dubai when he goes back around the last week of December. It probably won't be done by then but once he leaves he won't be able to come back for a couple years at least (he's a UAE citizen here for college).
