using a 5yr stored engine

[Dustytrix]

I ended up getting a complete 305 and I am going to use the complete engine instead of putting 305 heads on a 350 block. This engine is a gm crate #14010201block and 14014416 heads. The engine has 17000 miles on it and has been stored for about 5yrs, sealed with 5qts of oil in it. It will rotate with only 25lbs torque with the spark plugs out. Would you put this engine in as is? Or if not what should I change? Its not for hot rodding just a daily driver.

Id try using it as it is,Id change the oil and filter and add a quart of MARVEL MYSTERY OIL and a can of crower cam break-in ZINC additive to several quarts of quality 10w30 oil, obviously set the timing and check the fuel pressure and do a tune up
