..make sure its all drained, etc.. I like to stuff socks or something into the tb...spark plug holes..etc...so animals dont decide to make a home out of it..and for added protection, I usually put it in a big ass plastic bag and seal it up good... but I always had to keep my engines in a dirty ass shed..so...

get a stand yo!
If you don't have an engine stand, I would recommend going to your local hardware store (or whatever, lotsa places have them) and get a free palette... then you can tie it on the palette...carefully set it on the oil pan and then tie it at least two directions so it is stable

Oh, yeah! I didn't do that, and the mice carried all the grain from a nearby 50 pound sack into their nest..inside my manifold. My uncle Olney said, "Looks like they homesteadin'!" Flunky
