I now have the block I plan to eventually build for
my car, but it'll be a long way off from now (daughter in
college). I'm interested in your opinions on long term
block storage. My initial plan is to lightly grease the
cylinders, bearing surfaces, etc... and then seal it in
heavy plastic. Some say this may trap moisture, but I think
it'll help keep it out. It will be stored in my
climatically UNcontrolled garage in Wisconsin - which
includes some heat and humidity in the summers
and sub zero temps in the winters. It's just the plain
block - which is painted and looks great at the
moment. Thanks in advance for your input.

Dave,
When I was younger ( 45 years Ha! Ha! ) my dad took care of our
local school buses ( I spent many Saturdays oiling and greasing
buses ), through the school he had access to army surplus tools and
parts. Everything came coated in Cosmolene . It was a waxy substance
developed to store and ship everything the military used and I
believe it would preserve parts FOREVER. I don't know if it is still
available or ever was to the public but I can't imagine anything
better for preservation. My 2 cents.
