Unfortunately, firing up the engine in the yard isn't a possibility. I can get it with a 30-day warranty however.

The car is an '83 760.

I figured that I could yank the engine with the cross member and transmission and then fab up some sort of stand to hold the tranny up and test run it. It wouldn't be much work to come up with something for a test run. Something sort of like what this guy did would be possible as well:
