How to store Built 306 for long time

Yeah, ive never heard of "filling a motor all the way up to the top with oil".

YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OIL IN THE MOTOR TO KEEP IT STORED!!! IT DOES NOTHING!!! PUT OIL IN IT WHEN YOU ARE READY TO PRIME IT AND START IT UP!!

That's all i gotta say

If you put a flat board on top of the engine, it makes a killer card table too. That way you don't waste space and the engine/stand is still useful!

thats a good idea

I would put it on an engine stand and wrap it up real good.

I would also pull the pushrods so that all the valves are closed just to prevent anything from getting into the cylinders and would put dessicant plugs in place of the spark plugs to prevent any moisture build up in the cylinders.

Why would you pull the pushrods unless its a solid cam, the lifters will bleed off and all the valves will be closed anyways? Just spray some oil on it and bag it up.
