Default winter storage

remember to spray some fogging oil down into you engines to stop the rings from rusting on you

rings rust quick..some pb blast will work also..pull the plugs and pb blast the cylinders..put plugs back and let her sit for winter..fogging oil is better though..

also if you can seal up the exh ports,seal breathers an such so no air can get into the motor..back off all the rockers so theres no tension on the springs an lifters..dont forget to turn her over also an run a oil pump prim also.

an of course treat the dang fuel..lol

I pour some oil down the cylinders but thats about it. I do seal off the motor but thats more of a mouse problem for me.

+2 on just wonder into the garage and start it up at least once a week... if not more depending on the cold, also helps keep the battery alive without hooking up a trickle charger.

I do most of that to my motorcycle, but the Formula I just run it (if not actually drive it) once or twice a month. I do put Stabil in the tank of course.

yeah i could see a drag car not really beeing a start it up and let it idle type motor needing all that. i just start my car. and i would recomend just unhooking the negative terminal if letting it sit for more then a week in the cold. just starting it up and shutting it off after warm up wont keep the battery up to full charge. and once they freeze there done.
