BTW, a little hack I use for keeping parts together - for specific projects - when those parts need to return to said projects...

...egg cartons. It keeps everything compartmentalized, and you can stack them.

This is a good idea. I ran into this in 1962 when a close mechanical genius friend rebuilt a ford 390 police interceptor engine. He wasn’t old enough to drive yet. His dad had a 1957 Fairlane and the engine died. He convinced his dad that he could put an engine in it. He used egg cartons to keep the lifters arranged and a tree branch in the yard as an engine stand and hoist. Here ya go dad, all fixed. His dad pulled out of the driveway, gave it the usual amount of gas and burned a patch in the street. He had ulterior motives as it ended out being his car for high school. After HS he got a blown up 427 and put the cam, heads, intake and cast iron headers on the 390. In his 40s he built a cobra replica with a classic 427 in it. He bought one piece at a time but to save money he built his own frame. The fiberglass body, used for frame measurements, sat on a trailer for 4 years while he collected parts. The original mag wheels were $1200 each and the gas cap was $200. Back then you could buy a car for all that.
