NY 13B NA S5 Engine life from sitting

hey whats up people,

i've have a spare 13B from an 91 S5 NA and its been sitting in my garage per say about 4years around,
My question i guess would be if i throw the engine into another S5 Chassis Would the engine to good to start up and run normal,
The engine had 25K on the rebuild and was Perfectly running with no smoke or burning oil or oil leaks of any sort when it was taken out,

lemme know your opinions thanks

as long as you took basic steps to store it (blocked debris from getting in it, lubricated the seals, etc.), then there shouldn't be a problem.

Poor a little marvel mystery oil down the intake or take a spark plug from each housing and pour some in there and crank the motor over by hand a couple of times. This will aid in start up and help lubricate and loosen any seals that may have gotten stuck for sitting so long.
