I can tell you from experence that waterproof grease and WD-40 ARE NOT SUFFICIENT to protect an engine block long term. I use a product called Picklex-20 on sanded metal panels stored inside recoating every 6 months with excellent results.

I've had good luck with CRC SP-400 (p/n 03282). Aerosol can, spray it on & it dries to a waxy coating. Couple layers and it almost becomes like rubber. I use it on the boat, protects hose fittings,hyd. valves, etc from salt water, doesn't wash away.
In order to know what you want, you'll probably have to find out what you don't want.

Cosmoline is a great option. The military stores machined stuff using it and it works.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

what about axle grease on the surfaces, then a few silica gel packets on top, and wrap the whole thing up tight with the saran wrap stuff they use in shipping large items?
that was kind of my plan for my big block that just came out of the Dakota, to keep it "fresh" while I do the paint and body on my Cuda.
