You should pull the Distributor and spin the oil pump to bring oil up to everything in the engine, and pre-oil what bearings have "forced-oiling".. The Chevy 6 cylinder engine did not get "Forced-Oiling" (a Drilled Crank) until 1952..
It uses "Dippers" on the rods to scoop oil up into the rod bearings...DON't try to run these too fast...they WILL throw rods if pushed too hard, and the cast Iron pistons can break above the wristpin when RPM'd too high...

Our old '51 Chevy 1 ton was happiest at 45, but would take 3 tons up the hill to the mill in top gear..at 16 MPH......!!!!
