i have a couple set up in my yard and they’ve never collapsed, just wondering about moisture content in them.

What about putting it in one of those auto shelters? like those tarp canopy things? or would that be just as bad as tarping a car?

i would never hire someone to work on my engine, that’s all done myself, maybe except boring, that would be the only exception, so in saying that i find it hard to believe that parts alone would add up to that when i’ve built an engine for a whole lot less

None taken, i haven’t done much with an old motor, mainly truck motors around 06’ which parts easier to find then picking out cereal at the supermarket.

Like the other guy said though, if you have a good breathable cover why would moisture get trapped?

Maybe i missed something but the earliest year i could find on summit was an 85

It is a 4 bolt main according to the owner, and would you suggest any sites to get parts from as i couldn’t find anything from summit racing

So the 57’ Chev im looking at comes with a 350 backed by a turbo trans, Now he says he thinks the motor is early to mid 70’s, he can’t figure it out as his words were, “castingg numbers show 1969 1979” so let’s say it’s mid 70’s. Would there be performance parts available for such an old motor? I’d like to get a stroker crank with a mild-aggressive cam.. So would that even be possible with this one? or should i get rid of it and maybe look at a later 80’s 350 as i believe there are plenty of parts for those. Any help would be great!

Okay first off for some info i live in winnipeg manitoba so winters can be something else. I’m planning on buyin a 57 chev soon, it’s abit of a restoration project, body is full with what id call minor rust. Here’s he thing i will not have a garage to store it in till next year but this deal is too good to pass up, i plan on storing it outside, not going to touch the body till i get my garage. So how do i go about this without more issues, i plan on putting it on blocks of course to try and keep from rotting, what’s the best way to tarp it? are there any devices to try to prevent rust/rot? and maybe even pests?
