Default How to store a shortblock

I just received my newly built shortblock (LS3/418). Maybe awhile before finishing top-end. What's the best way to store it?
Put oil in the cylinders and wrap in plastic or just what. That's all I use to do on my sbc, but this one alittle more pricey.
Thanks guys

That is what I did for the LME Shortblock until I was ready to put the heads on. No problems with anything when it was time to finish the build.

oil it and bag it...or you can just send it to me and I will hold on to it for you until you're ready to put in in your car.

Oil and turn it over randomly if you're really worried
