Dennis, My thoughts were with the shipping containers as well; maybe your local Mr. Goodwrench can help you. If not, you might check with JC Whitney. I would also look into spraying down with a product called LPS 3. This stuff is a long-term, heavy-duty corrosion inhibitor that forms a soft waxy, film for protection and lubrication. I have customers, some near the ocean, that use this product on metal parts stored outside and swear by it.
Check it out here: http://www.lpslabs.com/Products/CorrosionInh/Lps3.asp Should be available in local bearing houses or industrial supply houses. If you can't find it, contact me and I will sell directly to you. Rich -------------- Original message -------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dennis, My first thought is one of those plastic shipping containers. I'm pretty sure some people make and ship thier engines in them....that way it would be sealed from anything. I'd spray some oil over everything, wrap it up in a thick plastic storage bag(they sell these), put in that plastic shipping container and call it good. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 1:02 pm Subject: [Chevelle-list] Spare Engine Storage Hi Guys, my good-running original 100,000 mile 283 has been in my buddy's warehouse since I installed a new 350 crate engine last year. Now he needs the space and there is not room in my garage. Is outdoor storage a viable option? Here in OC there is no worry about extreme weather but would condensation rust everything? My Chevelle is a nice original car and a future owner (or even me) might want it back to original someday. Any thoughts?
