I am finished cleaning and detailing my 4 speed.Space is tight in the garage so if I made a stand,could I store it in a vertical position?Would the oil seap out?Should I just make a cradle for it and try to find room. Thanks for any replies.

you could store it vertically with a pan under it. Then you could put an electric pump in the pan with a tube going up to the fill plug of the transmission, & a float switch in the pan that would turn on the pump when the fluid in the pan reached a certain level. Good luck, I hope it works out

Fill it, spin it, plug for the rear seal with grease on it and tape up the input shaft.

You could just NOT put oil in it until you are ready to use it. Then it will not leak out. Not a drop.
