Engine hasn't been started in over a year... My project has sat for just over a year. I'm installing a rebuilt trans in the next couple of weeks and wanted to know if I need to do anything to the engine before starting it?

You could put a little oil down in the cylinders or you could pull the valve covers off and splash some oil on the rockers but honestly I think it'd be fine to just fire it up. I'd change the oil and maybe the plugs.

I'm not familiar with these LS1's much. I take it you can't prime the system like on a old chevy or f*rd? Those were easy with a drill and shaft tool to spin the oil pump through the distributor hole.
