Default Getting engine ready for storage?

I have an engine i am going to swap in but need to store it while im saving money for the swap parts. I already drained all the fluids, is there anything else I should do? I was just going to leave it in my shed until I had the cash to swap it in...


Thanks

mine sat in the garage for about a month before it was put in....started right up. besides, if you brought it from a company, you don't really kno how long it sat in their warehouse before you brought it

maybe pour some oil in the cylinders,just a little and crank by hand to keep oil in cylinders to prevent rust. also cap off all the holes on the motor and I would cover it with a giant sheet or something
