I also posted in small block tech. Since our motor has been sitting since the summer of 2013, see pics in post 609. What should I do if anything to lube it up before it goes in the car to be fired for the first time? Maybe some kind of spray lube in each cylinder and rotate if by hand before filling it with oil and priming it before cranking it?

I made a tool to prime a small block from a distributor shaft and a push rod.
Basically you remove the distributor drive gear and insert it in and hook a drill to turn the oil pump.
There are two different spots one oils the right cylinder and the other oils the left.
You have to turn the crank slowly with the drill running to find them spots.

You could just buy hexigonal bar stock and it would accomplish the same thing.
