Two methods for pre-lube
come to mind. One is to yank the distributor and chuck a drive shaft up in a
heavy duty drill motor and spin the oil pump (I don't remember if the
distributor shaft drives the oil pump on B blocks and RB blocks). The other is
to get an auxiliary accumulator, fill it with oil and charge it with pressurized
gas (air). Connect it to the oil system via an fitting in the block, and release
the accumulator pressure. There used to be a commercial product that did just
this. They advertised that it would keep the engine oiled under adverse
conditions such as hard turns, stopping, starting, etc. When the car was
producing oil pressure, it would recharge the accumulator.
