Re: IML: Keeping parts clean for future use

["Pete Engel" <peter.engel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I myself prefer the chest type freezers but I'm usually storing small parts.
I wouldn't want to test my back by lowering an RB block to the bottom of a
chest freezer!
We call our freezers "Rodent-proof junk vaults" and they are just that.

One thing I use for storage of engine blocks, heads, and other parts of that

nature, is old refrigerators laugh if you must but it works very well, and
if 
you really want to take it a step further then wire the plug directly to the

light and use the light bulb to keep it extra dry inside. I get them at my 
local scrap metal facility for about $3.00 each. I rip out the lower racks
leaving 
just one on top and put the short block in the bottom, its some times 
necessary to bust the plastic shelves off the door so it will close, then I
put the 
heads in the freezer with plenty of space left for all the other parts one 
frige will hold a complete big block mopar with room to spare. I myself dont
use 
the light and have had engines stored this way for eight years so far with
no 
rust yet. my basment is full of them. I've been the butt of many redneck
jokes 
because of my uniqe storage of parts, but it works and is very cheap.
