Without going to a lengthy reply, yes basically you just make a frame to support the engine and wire the coil and starter up in the same manner as if the engine was sitting in the engine bay,connect fuel lines etc.
You can use a screwdriver to cross the solenoid activation tab to the battery positive on the starter but is best to use a switch.It's only temporary so any reasonable size switch will do,don't need a relay but don't use a microswitch either.
If you are only starting and running for a minute or so you don't need water and radiator as the block and head will soak up the heat for about a minute or so ( maybe a bit longer in winter ) before it starts to get hot.It won't hurt,warp,cook anything for this short amount of running time.
If you want to run for longer then yes, you will require at least a garden hose circulating water through but best to go to the extra bit of time and fabricate a radiator mount and simulate the radiator fitment and hook up as it would be in a car engine bay.
