Default Swapped motor starting advice

Ok... when I get my B18C1 and GSR trans in my EF this next month or so, I was wondering if I could possibly get some advice before trying to start the motor. The motor has been sitting idle and not running for about a year or a year and a half (and counting)...

I was wondering the same thing. But this is all that comes to mind.

It might run rough at first (gunk in the pipes, old fuel or whatever) but it should level out and then you can fiddle with all the adjustments if there are any.

Just some advice, I'd have a fire extinguisher handy. Since you've messed with fuel lines and such during a swap. Always a good idea. $30 investment to save thousands of dollars of car.
