Ive had a lot of luck over the years starting and using SBCs that were left idle for years. Ive always removed plugs and shot trans oil in the cylinders and let sit for a bit then hand cranked the motor Ive then changed the oil and made sure that I cranked the motor to get circulation of oil. New coolant plugs wires and then a start. Ive got a 79 now that has sat about 3 years im going to refire soon and that's how I will start it
