So I've come to the realization that I may not be able to finish building my motor before I move to Georgia in January. I may be able to, but am uncertain at this point. Ive never had to store an engine before, so any tips would be appreciated. It will be stored from Jan 2011-April 2011. It is an iron 5.3 block, thats been punched to 3.898, with forged Mahle pistons, fresh Clevite H rod and main bearings, Brand new EPS cam, Clevite cam bearings etc. Its a fresh motor. I do have the heads I'm going to run at this point, but I'm sending them off the WCCH before I slap them on. After that I'll just have to buy an intake and odds and ends stuff, but trying to save money for while I'm down there and build this motor at the same time Is proving difficult. Anyhow, it will be stored inside my house if I have to because I'm afraid of condensation out in the shop, and I do have an engine stand as well. Thanks.
