I've seen at least a 413 started sitting on the floor on it's oilpan with a 
couple of greasy kids hanging on to the rocker covers to keep it from 
tipping over.  All that rotating machinery would create some torque reaction 
for sure but is already constrained a bit by the 700lb weight of the engine 
it resides in.  Just take it easy on the woooooopaaaah and you'll be fine...
