How long can an engine that is properly rebuild with all the correct lubes and what not sit before first start up? Trying to decide which direction to go with my 66. Either go ahead and tear the car down totally now (steering;suspension) or just get the engine bay done and get it back running again.

I would assume that it could sit for a pretty good long time if there is such a thing as "crate engines"?
