Best way to store/protect engine and box

[SMB]

I'm just about to remove the engine and box together from a griffith, and wanted to check the best way to protect the sump and underside whilst it's out and resting on the floor, what do people use?

I can keep it upright on the lifting straps but would prefer it to be rested on the ground rather than hanging for the few weeks the chassis restoration is under way. So would you rest on the sump or blocks of wood front and back?
Thanks
