Storing your first motor (or any other large piece of car) is the hardest. Once you've broken them in (parents/girlfriend/wife), it gets easier and easier.. Grant
My wife keeps asking what am I gonna do with those "old motors and other junk". In one part of the basement have got a rebuilt 392 Hemi, 318 and slant 6 plus a 340 short block sitting on a Radio Flyer wagon. In another part of the basement is stored a 440, a 273/235 motor in the process of being assembled and a 340 waiting to get reassembled (plus 2 A Body 8 & 3/4s and lots of other "junk". Yea, she's sort of used to it
