Not sure I'd start it without the radiator - not so much the heat for a short time as the fact that the water pump will be running dry which doesn't tend to do pumps any favours. I'd wait for the rad to turn up rather than risk damaging your bargain.

How do you DO that?  It takes me about 5 hours to change a bulb, by the time the wiring's broken, the screws have been unstuck, the fiddly access routes have been dismantled, etc.  I reckon it'd take me about 6 months to change an engine.
