[oletrucks] motor storage question

["Tom Cooper" <c_tom@bellsouth.net>]

I will be taking the motor and transmission out of my truck tomorrow to get
ready for the front end and rear end work. 
Is there anything I should do to the motor and transmission before pulling
them out. They may be sitting idle for awhile until I get to the point of
putting them back in. That may take awhile and I don't want the gaskets and
seals to dry up and crack.
I will have a rear end cradle question later this weekend.  
                Thanks, Tom
