without more info the question is really a vague one.Can you explain more what you mean by the engine would not crank.
As in roll over?Was it getting power?Was the engine toast?..

well you won't need to to run the LS1.(90% positive on that).Just to be sure check the Other Engine conversion section (V8 Section).

the commander is primarily a monitor of the engines vital signs, and also used to tune for non apex'i licensed tuners. unplugging the commander (looks like an s-video plug) should not prevent the engine from running.

the actual power-fc box that the engine wiring harness goes into is the engine control unit that tells the engine what to do. unplugging that would prevent it from running.
