[Chevelle-list] Hello? / Engine Storage Box

[dennis.mcgillis at mcgilliscompany.com]

Hi Jim,

Is it the plastic storage box or the $220 that is overkill?  The 283 will be 
stored outdoors and even with our temperate southern California climate it 
would rust badly if just sitting on the pallet so I found the box and also 
an engine bag from Eastwood which is supposed to minimize corrosion.  And 
yup, I did all the normal things to preserve it.

Thanks,
Dennis

Isn't that overkill? Did you flush the cooling system and change the oil? 
Spray the cylinders down to keep the rings from rusting?

The list does seem unusually quiet.  Maybe no one is working on their cars.

I received the plastic shipping crate ($220 from www.scribnerplastics.com)
to store my original 283.  Now the trick will be to mount the engine and
wrestle it to the storage place.
