winter storage?

Can I just drain the block and engine and rad? We have really cold winters here. I'd just refill in the spring.

Keep the anti-freeze in the car! You may want to fill the fuel tank completely or put gas stabilizer in the tank. I just fill the tank. Make sure you drive the car onto some plywood under the tires. Disconnect the battery and crack your windows slightly before putting a cover over the car. I also sprinkle some moth ***** around the tires to keep the mice away from climbing into the engine bay. I just reconnect the battery, turnover the car a few times without the fuel pump fuse to lubricate the engine, then insert the fuse and off I go. I do this every winter and the car fires up no problem in the spring.
