Well on the flip side, I have always been more concerned about old gas causing problems in the carb and valve springs laying fully compressed for months at a time, so I fall under the guy that will run it for a few minutes to circulate stuff around and shut here down only because it is backed in the garage if it was aimed the other way I would probably let it warm up, if the oil and filter is good quality it will do its job. and most ex-systems can handle moisture just fine these days.

Bud,
I've put up a car over the winter every year (standard practice in MI). Never had any issue other than battery drain on some new cars. Carb will be fine for six months straight, maybe longer. Valve springs better be a non issue if they were designed and built right. If you're going to store for 5 years and had a big cam, then I'd back off the valves. Running it that little is *really* hard on the exhaust.
