LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN A PLASTIC BAG

[ZL1mike]

I want to share this treasure I found a couple of days ago not 10 minites away from my home and shop that's been sitting in a back room on that craddle in the pic for 15 years. At that time 1989 the motor was freshened and blue printed and fogged and put in a plastic bag till this week, the previous owner tells me he had it since 1983 and he bought it from King Racing ( awaiting the paper work) however that did not stop me from looking at the motor and purchasing it in our first meeting. My engine shop put me in touch with this guy and they had work order sheets and blue print sheets and info as far back as 1983. This engine is std std.

Very cool Mike! What do you mean by "fogged"? Sprayed with oil? What would keep the crank,rods,etc from rusting in that plastic bag?

Thanks!

The engine was kept in his office so I'm hoping for the best results when we open it up to inspect it and document it further with pics. Yes oil spraying of all the components for storage, you see my engine guys are Mercury Marine pros so if any body knows moisture thses guys would.
