Default Question are restarting Edelbrock aluminum 400?

Local guy called me about restarting a 400 with Edelbrock heads that was new, run and parked under a car port with a cover. Last run he thinks 2015. Carb is demon. Roller cam he is not sure hydraulic or solid. I said drain fuel. Remove plugs.Spray some wd 40 or like in cylinders. Turn over try to start. He is afraid of plugs galled in threads of heads. Any ideas I've never worked with aluminum heads. Amazing thing he said engine ran well it was built yrs ago by well known west coast builder,yep you know who.
