Larry51 gives a great procedure. I can only add that, if I could get it turn over smoothly on the starter motor, I'd do that with the spark plugs removed for long enough for oil pressure to register on the gauge before I put the plugs back in and tried to start it. And I'd consider dropping the oil pan, cleaning it, looking thru any debris for bad news, and cleaning the oil pump intake screen prior to trying to start it. Maybe also removing a valve cover to get some additional insight into what ravages if any the prolonged storage might have caused.
