What is the best way to remove the rust and to keep it from coming back.:( I am now thinking of putting a bed in the garage,just in case. THANKS,David

How you treat the block depends largely on how long it is going to sit there. Generally a good coating of WD40 and wrapping in plastic will keep things from rusting for the short term. There is always Cosmoline (spelling)for longer term storage.

I did this on my engine and it had some pretty bad surface rust. Ran fine all year when I could keep the trans together. Is it going to be a while before you get it put together and running? Grease or something like ARP assembly lube might be better than oil for long storage.

Traps moisture in. Watch the Glad commercials LOL. If its kept inside, your better of covering with cloth so it can breath. You could also get some of those desiccant(sp?) packs. You know like come packed in electronics and cameras and such to absorb moisture. Not sure where you get them MailBoxesToGo?? but here's a link http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&...=4&ct=title Couple large packs laid in the lifter valley should work I would suspect.

THANKS,David Sorry to hear about the Demon.. but as far as the 340 goes.. I agree with what is said about using plastic, but if it were me I would not worry about it. I had a 440 block that was left out (under hood) without a head on it. All four cylinder had water and all four had bad rust. So bad I used sand paper to scuff it back down. Then I put the head on it and fired it up. Maybe I got lucky, maybe not, but that 440 is one of the strongest ones I have seen and its still running. I suppose you will hear all the stories, but if you have just some small rust I wouldn't even bother with a hone.. my RS23L7 4-Speed

This is basically spray cosmoline, and works well. WD-40, CRC-336, or brake cleaner cuts it right back off. Hope this helps. "IF YOU'RE UNDER CONTROL, YOU AIN'T GOING FAST ENOUGH."
