Both the 428 CJ in my 59. and the 347 SB Ford in my drag car , sat in the garage for 4-5 years before I ran them in my cars. Both were assembled with plenty of assembly lubed, and I squirted a bit of oil in each cylinder a couple of times while in storage. Also, before I even cranked either engine in a car, I thoroughly primed the oil pump and ensured that I had plenty of oil flowing thru the rockers or pushrods just before I installed the distributors and started the engines. The last thing that you want, is to crank the engine over with dry bearings.
