Why not spend a little money having the iron parts hot-tanked, miked, and
bagged by a machine shop.  This way you know what you will need for the
future re-build (no surprises) and can plan accordingly.  Furthermore, the
parts can be stored inside without risk to the parts or your home, and they
won't smell.  I would have the cam bearings and frost plugs removed before a
first hot-tanking, since the process necessitates their replacement. The
block itself would require hot-tanking again after boring or honing, but
that could be done later.  

Good luck,
