Default Storing Engine Block?

I just got my Katech 4.125" bore sleeved LS1 block

I am leaving town for about 4 months. Does anyone have any tips to storing this thing? I don't want to come back to a rusted, corroded chunk of crap. I was thinking of just lining the sleeves with some motor oil and then spraying the rest of the block with some WD-40. Then wrapping it in a garbage bag. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Get some fogging oil (you can get it Pep-Boys). Its made specifically for storing metals for a long time...
