Motor question

i have a good 13bturbo motor in a crashed car. it still stats up, perfect idle, low miles about 100k, i want to know how long will the motor be good for while it is out the car, meaning when i drop it in it will start right up like it does now, what is the time frame i have to put it back in the car and have it start upwith no poblems.
thanks

Probably there are instructions for a non-running engine even.
