Are you using a quality car cover? Many have a moisture layer. If you raise the car up use jack stands under the boxed part of the frame. I suggest using one layer of cinderblock covered by a one inch piece of plywood under the jack stand since the car is on dirt not concrete. Just use plastic sheeting from the hardware store the same kind that you would use under the house.
Since there will not be any liquids in the block the temp does not matter. If the garage is connected to the house consider building a clean room using some 2x4 and plastic sheeting on wall the that is next to the house. You will be surprised how a small space heater will work in plastic lean-to. Also a halogen work light kicks off a bunch of heat.

I have an outdoor car port the ones with metal poles and a tarp on top. My question is there anything to put over the ground to help with the winterization. I have heard of putting down straw or hay but think they would just retain moisture. The ground is clear of any growth and is plain dirt. Is it preferred to put the car on blocks or just let it sit as is on the rubber. Also wondering what kind of problems would I run into if I were to rebuild the engine in the garage while the garage is not continuously heated? I live in eastern Canada and have but a few weeks left. Thanks Lorne 66 Malibu
