Revival Questions

[streetmachine79]

I've got a fairly fresh roller cam 408-410 Magnum that has sat in a truck for about 5-6 years since, I last drove it or turned it over. So far in asking and research, I wanted to double confirm some things. My goal at this point is at least to get the engine to turn over with the starter. I don't have the fuel system hooked up so no worries there.

With the length of time that the engine has it appears I need to pull the plugs and squirt something in the cylinders to help. I'm assuming Marvel Mystery Oil would be best?
The other question I have is I see there is a couple different priming tools out there. I see the MP Mentioned a lot and then I see the 440 Source Deluxe tool. I'm just wondering what tool would be best as I also have another project with 440 in it as well. Link for the Deluxe Tool to what it looks like. DeLuxe Engine Priming Tool.

Two other things I will include is that the truck I believe has maybe a Milodon HV Pump? and Milodon Oil Pan. The oil it uses is Brad Penn 20w50. Ironically, I changed the oil in it back about 4-5 years ago and hasn't even been ran since then. Anyways, I'm just looking for any additional information or tips that might be helpful. Thank you in advance.

I use a length of hex rod to do the job for way less than $50

i'd yoink the plugs and squirt some slippery stuff down in there, MMO is fine. drain the oil & refill. prime it while *slowly* turning it over by hand several times. check the coolant and if it's not too skongy then roll with it, but plan on changing later.

then i'd stab the distributor back in and light it off on a nurse bottle.

benefit of the de-luxe tool is that it's a little more stable than the MP tool.
