I think Mark is one to something. The pickle jar is probably your best option! HA! I have had bad luck with WD-40. I used it on a roll cage once to keep it from rusting until we were able to paint it. It rusted almost overnight. It is great for breaking things loose,but not as good as a protectant as it may seem. The fogging oil is a great idea but I would most likely just use engine oil like Tools said. I have a few bare v8 blocks laying around now rubbed with oil that are fine. If you use the Lucas oil cling additive it really sticks well. Oooor...I would be happy to store that CLEAN engine for you. It'll be off you mind atta way
Oh,and plug the holes with rags,not tape. If you tape it up airtight you run a chance of condensation building inside the engine. Tape can trap whatever moisture is in there causing issues as well. Rags will keep debris out, but still allow air to flow thru the motor. Rags paper towels,old shirts...anything that is breathable. Greasy rags tend to not attract mice as much as clean ones do. Of course,you probably dont have mice like i do :)
