Engine that hasn't been turned on in 2 years...

Hi guys,

I was wondering if an engine that hasn't been turned on in 2 years is still usable? Recently someone in my family blew out her engine and I was wondering if the spare one I have was still usable?

Motor was left in the car never thought I would have a need for it till this popped up. I haven't turned it over by hand yet.
