Can you run an engine w/o headers ?

Hi,

I will be building an engine stand soon so I can start my engine before I install it. I don't think it is pre broken in..

I have ceramic headers from TTI ..and according to the literature in them, you cannot use ceramic during the engine break in period..

I cannot see borrowing a set of headers around here...not sure if there are any A body cars around here...and I don't want to have to buy a set..eventhough those $ 99.00 headers from summit sound interesting..

Any ideas ?
