Foxy Green Foxbody Build

Ever seen that episode of The Brady Bunch when they went to Hawaii and touched a Tiki doll? Bad luck ensued.

This engine ever been to Hawaii?
 
Put my rockers and poly locks in an atf bath so they don't rust. They need to be cleaned at some point.

Also got a call from the builder with my old parts and I can't pick them up tomorrow as planned due to some surgery he has to take someone to 🤷‍♂️

Starting to wonder how much of his stories have been true or bs

Some people like to own their own business so they are not really accountable to anyone.

I know they exist, but I've never had access to a machine shop that didn't half look like a mess.

My motor was waiting to be machined sitting in the weather under a carport style roof. Took it to another shop for top fuel hoops and he did everything but finish hone. I wrapped it in plastic so the builder could not fuck it up again.

Super white trash suggestions here...but store it in the house. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed regardless of what goop you slop on it to keep it "ready to assemble" down the road - Problems will arise if it is stored outside of a climate controlled environment.

No place for it. Going to slather it in cosmoline and hope for the best. Crankshaft is going into a pvc tube full of oil and I'll seal it up. Building a pallet for it all, wrapping it, and if it works it works

I've got a bare 350 block that I've had for at least 10 years that is smeared with axle grease, no bag no other protectant and it's still in great shape.

In Sacramento, California I could expect a block stored in the garage to survive just fine. Not in SC though.
