With the humidity of the Southeast I'd coat it with something ASAP
I lived in Florida for a couple years and the humidity in the summer is what I remember the most!!!

I'd just use oil and check it often. I think oil would be easier to clean off than grease when the day comes to put it together. But that's my 2 cents! I'm sure you'll get some other ideas to consider.

Thanks,you ain't kidd'in!!Humidity is brutal here.
I've strored some now ,i just put tranny fluid in cylinders,and turn engine regular.This one's apart though,and being my ''beast motor''[of the future]I want to assure it's well preserved,later,BO

I like to oil them down myself and Eastwood has bags that are designed for long term storage of engines and heads.... I use them..... I used to buy bags of decantant which is a product that absorbs moisture and put a bag of it in the bag and then seal it air tight..... You can get decantant from Eastwood also
