Getting ready to put car back together , Question before i start it !!!

I am gettin ready to put the car back together this weekend and the car hasnt been started in over 3 months ... Things i have added are new cam , AS stg. 2 heads , new lifters , ls6 intake , double roller timing chain .... the lifters are soaking in oil now waiting for the cam and heads to arrive tomarrow .... My question is what else should i do to prime the engine since it hasnt been ran in so long ?? If there is anything else i should do just let me know

thanks
