Put it up on jackstands.<BR>Put Sta-Bil in the gas. Crank it and then pull the fuel pump relay so the engine will run till the gas is gone.<BR>Hmmmm.....drain the radiator?<BR>Pull the plugs and squirt some oil in the holes, leave the plugs loose, and do this every month.<BR>Disconnect the battery... <P>I dunno what else. I gotta confess I've never lived in a climate where this was necessary, I'm just trying to recall those magazine articles from way back.

It would probably be better to leave the radiator full as long as it isn't straight water. I'd run the engine with the cap off and top it off with more antifreeze.
