how to store and keep extra engine

Have a parts truck with good engine needs return lines repaired previous owner burned up starter and or wiring trying to start. Was lucky enough to hear truck run before he screwed it up then got the truck after it would no longer start due to the wiring being melted. Would like to keep engine and front rear axles
what would be the best way to keep this engine? Thought I would remove heads and intake etc then oil down and seal under plastic any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
