getting a 360 to run with no car

Yup.. points distributor anda way to bolt up a starter/rign gear and you're ready. If it's just for evidence, I'd use a mechanical oil gage, fire it, video it running and the ol pressure, and shut it down. Not a big deal really. As far as what's it worth... around here they can be had free if you know someone (I pulled an 86 4bbl out w/trans for free 3 weeks ago) but usually around $100-300.
