Re: [Chevelle-list] Spare Engine Storage
Dennis, My first thought is one of those plastic shipping containers. I'm pretty sure some people make and ship thier engines in themthat 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: chevelle-list@chevelles.net 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.?

The plastic engine container sounds great, do you have any idea where to find one?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Spare Engine Storage
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.

Hi Guys, A plastic shipping container like those used by some engine suppliers sounds like a good solution for storing my extra 283 engine. Calls to local engine suppliers and a search of Jeg's and Summit websites have not turned up anyone willing to sell one and my search of ebay did not prove fruitful. Does anyone know of a source?
