I wouldn't put an engine in my car without dynoing first.
Saves a ton of time and laps. Timing, leaks, HP & TQ #, etc., how can you possible know how to gear and converter a car without knowing what you have. Not just peak #s, but also where the power falls off.
And, if you have extra time and money, the ability to try different oils, fuels, curves, carbs, spacers, headers (if there happen to be multiple sets available) and so on, is invaluable.
An engine on the dyno is NOT exactly the same as an engine in a car making a run at speed, but the baselines from the dyno session will give you a headstart on zeroing the combination.
PERIOD!!!!
 Well said 
not to mention knowing your fuel curve
Don't hurt to ask around and see who you might trust with their tuning abilities. I won't mention names but not all dyno's and operators are created equal so talk to someone you know that has good first hand info.
