I just purchased a completely stock 1990 302 (intake to oil pan) for my 331 project. This engine will be stored on my engine stand until next Spring. What do I need to do to this engine to store it? Thanks.
The engine has been ran, has oil in it, is complete and will be stored in an insulated garage. Would it be okay just to plug the holes up and leave it in the garage for no more than a year? Thanks.
I would block off all the intake and exhaust passages. I usually pull the pushrods, plug the intake tract and the exhaust ports and make sure it has plugs in all the cylinders. I also put a squirt of Marvel Mystery oil in just to keep anything from freezing up.. Then bag and it will be fine.
