Is it safe to try to start up my project with what I assume are original fuel lines? I won’t be driving anywhere, just want to see if it will turn over with the work I’ve done so far.

You'll be fine.
The way fires start are arcing which is not something that should actively be happening on any vehicle that is running and fuel leaking onto hot engine parts. That is the start of the fires. It's usually been leaking for a mile or so. |
