This old man has gone clear nuts

Ridiculous. Made a huge mistake, bought a junk 5.2, NV3500 and transfer case. Engine turned out to be REALLY bad shape. I actually got the guy to give me some coin back He said it needed a clutch, LMAO. Really? Fiberglass clutch, I guess, smelled like hell I can't get within 3 ft of the thing. The engine is so bad it had a "J.C. Whitney" "non fouler" in one plug hole

Barrels.......bought 3 barrels I'm going to experiment with storing engines. Going to try and come up with a pretty airtight gasket, some dessiccant, maybe even weld some fittings in there to keep minor amount of pressure in them "a few inches" water column With the heads and pan off the long block just fits with room around it for other small parts. The intake may fit on top I have not tried yet

Building a trolley hoist for in the shed. 20 ft sticks of 1/4X 1 1/2 angle and 1/8 x 4 strap. Welded 1/2" connector nuts on to match the stringers in the shed. I'll use 1/2 threaded rod up through the stringers. The trolley fits a jib hoist I bought a few years ago, was going to attach to the two post hoist and never have, "as yet"
