Prime the oil system before starting. Many methods. Years ago when starting a new build 289 I borrowed a pre oiler that the machinist who built the engine made from an old pressure brake bleader. When I rebuilt my 8ba I made a pre oiler from a paint pressure pot. Others use a simple hand pump garden sprayer for a pre oiler. Others will have different thoughts about a pre starting process. The pre oiler is just how I do it.
