I think Tom has a tech tip posted about this, but here is a short checklist.
Squirt a bit of oil in each cylinder through the plug holes. Leave the plugs
out.
Double-check all the fasteners, then all the oil connections, fuel
connections, water and electric. Don't forget the little ones like the oil
sender, tach cable and manifold water.
Make a oil pump driver for your drill and spin up the oil pressure. With the
valve cover off you can see when you get oil through the top of the engine.
Turn the motor BY HAND through a couple of revolutions. Make sure nothing is
tight or dragging. Put the valve cover back on and spin the motor a couple
of times with the starter. You might want to ground a plug and check fire at
this point. Check again for leaks, then reinstall the plugs and fire it up!
Best of luck!
