Hi Chris:
Get your self a big plastic bag or a large garbage bag and place this
around the engine then close it up. Hint: do this while the engine is
still on the engine stand. I'm assuming that you will have plugged the
various aperatures with rags. If humidity might be a worry to you, buy a
bag of dessicant and put it into the bag with the engine. Don't worry. If
you used lots of oil, which is inevitable, you won't have any problems.
