I got a built block on my engine stand and the engine wrapped with shrink wrap until I get can complete my built. Is there a correct way to store the block for a long period? Should I lube the block every XX days?

Drop it back in the car. With stock cams and a stock turbo it shouldn't even need a tune.

If only it was that easy.

Is the oil pan and timing belt on?

This. Spray the whole thing with wd40 and wrap it back up.

for what its worth... i had one stored for over a year and this is what i did.

took off the valve cover and all the cam lobes still had assembly lube on them. so i didnt pour any oil on them.
I did pour about 2 quarts of 20w-50 in the motor and kinda poured it all along the top of the head so it would drip all over the crank.

then i took out the spark plugs and put about a table spoon of the same oil down in the cylinder.
turned over the motor a couple times, and put the valve cover and spark plugs back in it.
left it that way till i put it back in the car.

I don't have an oil pan or head on. cylinders and crank are exposed.It is shrink wrapped.

Rub heavy weight oil on everything and shrink wrap it. All the surfaces and it will be like that when you unwrap it.
