Now that some others have mentioned it, I do recall reading that an engine should be broken in under a load, and also it needs an exhaust of some type to have a bit of back pressure. I don't want folks to start a big fight, but there is no way I can put the engine under load as the car chassis won't be ready for who knows how long.
