If anyone moves to the shop, it's me! I'm pretty confident I can have a comfy sleep in the back seat of cuda.
With my work schedule, the engine may sit for a week or 2 before I'm able to get at it again. The desiccant bags may be the best bet while keeping bare steel coated and bag it.
Move the wife to the garage and put the engine in the bedroom. lol
or you can saturate all surfaces with PB and bag it.
I like the first option, don't tell my wife. lol
