I have plans to build a 408w as a upcoming project. I had planned on buying the hard parts ( stroker kit, block, heads) one at a time. So my question is, is it ok the purchase one at a time and have them sitting around till all the parts come together? It wont hurt or damage say the block if it sits bare for a few months? Thanks

It shouldn't hurt it any. Just spray it down with some lube like WD-40 and put an engine bag over it so it doesn't rust.
