I stored one about 3 yeatrs ago planning to store for about 15 years. Her is what I did.
1) Wash and wax it good.
2) Put it in place then up on jack stands to preven the springs from taking a set.
3) Started it up and got it warm then killed it with a lite machine oil--I tried WD40 and it just kept running. But I knew the manifold were coated.
4) Shut off, pulled the air cleaner to the maniflod and stuufed an oily rag in there tight. Same thing to the exhaust pipe, mine was new and tight to the engine so I stuufed the tailpipe--tight.
5) Put in mouse killer and a tray of kitty litter. The kitty liter will absorb water. Replace these each year.
6) Cover with a soft moving blanket or two and cover theat with a blue tarp.
She should be good for a long time.

Good luck.
