1990 12v, what have I got?

I purchased a 1990 12V, the po did not or wasn't saying what the mileage or history was. I want to mount this engine on a stand and try to start it and then get an idea what I have, and what I might have to do to make it a viable transplant into a Ford. I have no info so will need to know what to hook up just to get it to start, no long term running just the basics. Thanks, Patrick

Just fuel to the injector pump, 12 volts to the fuel shutoff valve on the IP and 12 volts to the starter solenoid to start her up. A heavy duty stand is also necessary, good luck...Mark
