Starting Motor After Long Term Storage?

[AL427SBF]

Need advice on starting an engine after long term storage. Think of it as -
What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Motor: Turnkey all aluminum DART 427, carbureted
Pre-Storage Prep: None, crate motor run-in briefly by builder, fluids drained and delivered to a shop where it sat.
Storage Duration: 3.5 years, no environmental controls for the most part but also no exposed openings on the motor (exhaust ports covered etc.)

Now it's time to bring her back to life and I want to be VERY CAREFUL how I do that, much invested in this little motor. Thoughts that come to mind are ...

- do I worry about valve springs and hysteresis?
- making sure I prime oil critical passages/components and pumps.
- pistons, give them a shot of oil through the plug holes to lube the cylinder walls?
- hand crank the engine over (plugs out) before I turn the key?

But that's me winging it, I need a step by step dissertation on what to do, I'm no motor head but willing to learn.
I'll make a "to do" list and put everything in order on what needs to be done - thanks for the help.
