You can easily start a 400 without a dash panel in place. You need a couple short short lengths of wire to use as jumpers:
1 - BLOCK THE WHEELS AND DOUBLE CHECK THE TRANNY IS IN NEUTRAL (safety first!)
2 - Use one wire to jumper between the ungrounded battery terminal and the ignition switch side of the coil. (Alligator clips on both ends of this wire will be helpful!)
3 - Use another other wire to jumper between the solenoid's battery and control terminals to crank the engine.

To check for a gross hydraulic leak you can try cranking the engine without starting it by skipping #2 above.
