Bill,
  My advice is to pressurize the oil galleries with an "Engine 
Pre-oiler" BEFORE starting it. You don't want the dry crank to be 
dragging on the bearing shells and trying to turn them with it.
  Engine pre-oilers connect to the oil pressure switch port on the side 
of the block.Any good local engine rebuild shop should have one. 
  Maybe they'll rent it to you.

Good luck,
