Good question. I don't know either.If everyone is concerned about EMP...does storing a vehicle inside a metal shed or garage act like a Faraday cage?

Is there some way to design the kind of cage into the engine compartment?
There are multiple intakes available to run aa carborator on a 5.3 the bigger issue would be the ignition system. There is no place on the block to put a distributor. You would have to either use a flying magnet type stand alone ignition system, or I have seen a cog belt driven distributor mounted to the front of the motor before. As for the transmition, a 1980-90 700r4 rebuilt with the upgrade to make it stronger, and an adapter kit. Would work pretty well. You would have to have a switch working the lock up on the torque converter. But hotrodders have been doing that for years.The engine in my van is a little tired. I was wondering if it is possible to build a 5.3 without all the electronics and still get good mpg?
This may be true about artificial EMPs created by nuclear weapons, but the sun can create a long-lasting EMP.What's the fear? EMP?
Because a few things there....
1.) The tests that lead to so many false ideas about it were highly flawed (and years ago).
2.) Parking it under a metal roof or even metal garage door, is likely to be enough protection from an air-sourced EMP
3.) If you read the actual tests done in the EMP report, very few vehicles failed even at high exposure, and even those that had issues, were typically more of a minor electrical nature.
Yes. An aluminum foil faraday cage would pretect against solar EMP.Ok, what a about making a faraday cage out of a shipping container. It would be large enough to hold most vehicles, if you get a 40ft. It would give you extra room for other conveniences as well.
The E3 pulse can last several minutes. The atmospheric effects last much longer.Yes. An aluminum foil faraday cage would pretect against solar EMP.
My point is that a nuclear weapon triggered EMP lasts the smallest reasonable fraction of a second.
