Just a question. I have a 428scj. It is all built, but I have to bolt the heads and intake on it. Is it o.k. for an engine to sit for a couple years after being all bolted together? Will the gaskets go dry or anything like that? Probably a stupid question, but I'd also like to know this for when purchasing an engine. I know this guy locally and he has a 427s/o, but it has been sitting for about 7-8 years. It's a complete rebuild, zero hours, and has been pre-lubed for storage. How long can an engine sit as a complete unit without turning over. It's complete from pan to carb.

Thanks in an advice....hinds57
