Engine's Life Blood Flowing Again
After almost 3 years, the oil is flowing once again. Unfortunately, I forgot to plug the port where the oil pressure line connects and was surprised by oil which shot all the way to the ceiling. At least I know the pump works 
. After fixing that, I primed for about an hour while rotating the crank by hand. I hope in about a month, the engine can do this on it's own.

On my newer block theres a plug in the drivers side back halfway under the head. I forgot to put it in. We went to prime and oil shot all over the windsheild and engine compartment. It only took like 45 minutes to get the intake and head off though.
