opinions and help resurrecting 94 cobra

hello all
so my 94 (owned since new) has been in storage for maybe 10 years now, not started not driven nada nothing for at least 5. im planning a big relocation move and would like to recommission it to semi regular use, im not worried about the rubber parts and such as I can handle all of that but I am seriously concerned about start up. im gonna go out on a limb and say 100% of the oil is in the sump, I can fully drop and drain the gas tank and flush the lines. can anyone give me a good idea of what all I can do to minimize damage in getting it running again. anything you can provide would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

You could disconnect power (fuse) to the fuel pump and then turn the engine over to build oil pressure. I know on the new edge cars you can just press the throttle to the floor when starting and it'll cut fuel. Not sure if the sn95 cars work that way though. One of the sn95 gurus here should be able to confirm that.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to do a new fuel pump and filter since it's sat so long. Pumps don't seem to like doing that, especially the older pumps that were never designed to see ethanol blended gasoline. Then maybe run an additive that could clean the injectors. Sea foam or whatever.

Im not familiar with the pushrod motors and how well their oiling systems do/don't work off the starter

You can make an engine priming system using a garden sprayer, some clear hose and an adapter from Lowe's for around $20, hook into the oil pressure sending unit port and pump the oil in via that point. I'd drain it, replace the filter then push a couple courts through the sprayer if nothing else.

I dont know if thats long enough to warrant pulling plugs and turning it over by hand to make sure a cylinder isn't stuck or not

Get a socket adapter for your drill, a long extension, and a socket. I think it's 5/16", but its been a few years. You can compare to the bottom of the distributor when you pull it.

Tape the socket and extension together as you don't want to drop the socket in the pan. If you look down the distributor hole you'll see the hex drive. Put the socket on that and spin the pump counter clockwise. After a few seconds you should hear the drill bog down as the pump builds pressure. I'd do that for a few seconds then turn the engine 90 degrees and prime it again and so on. After that your engine is primed.

also put mystery oil down the cylinders before you start it, to lube the rings and pistons

Order an engine prime tool and place it in the distributor hole use a drill and it will turn the oil pump. Cheap and easy
