Storing a running engine

Hi Everyone,

I have a rebuilt 340 that has been broke in and driven approx 100 miles. I want to remove the engine and start body and paint work. That being said, I am not sure how long all that will take.

I was planning on building a rolling cart (seen on the forum) to set the motor on, leave the motor complete minus headers and seal up the exhaust ports, plus bag it.

Is there anything else I should do? I am concerned because my shop isn't insulated, but I am not sure if that matters.

Thanks for the help.
