Before coming home, I took it by a friends shop (very thankful for his generosity). Due to sitting for so long, it needed a few things to be gone through before firing it up.
First we did a general inspection. Rear end and trans were pretty clean (no apparent leaks). Everything appears to be intact. Sway bar bushings are junk.
Changed the oil and filter (my son's first run at this).
Installed a new battery.
Popped the distributor and used a priming tool to get everything lubed up. Pressure gauge confirmed everything was priming, and we spun by hand a couple times by the flywheel to make sure everything felt right.
The coolant needs to go, as does the radiator and hoses, but that's for another day.
