The protective oil film will be pretty much gone from every internal surface of the engine. You need to try to restore that film as much as possible before actually running it. I would suggest, while you have the plugs out, putting a wrench on the crank bolt and turning the engine a few times to get everything unstuck. Then, again before you put the plugs back in, crank it with the starter for a minute or two to build oil pressure and let lubrication flow before you actually run it.(Pull the EFI fuse while you do this to keep the injectors from spraying fuel and the ignition from firing.) Finally, put the plugs back in, replace the EFI fuse, and try to start it. If/when it starts, let it idle for a good 5 minutes before racing the engine at all.
