When I helped get Erik's 91 running again after 4 years of storage, it sounded bad and was running on 7 cylinders. After a 4 or 5 mile run down the road (with new oil of course) it was running on 8 and sounded fine. You may need to genuinely get the oil all the way to temp and at some rev to get the higher pressures if the lifters are in need of hydraulic priming.
