i would at least put a plastic tarp under the vehicle, even if it is just dirt the underside of the car will quickly rot sitting on the damp ground, it would also be a good idea to get the tires off the ground but support it by the suspension, dont just let it hang (don;t support it by the frame) i think that can cause damage to the suspension.
not positive on the engine rebuild, but you might get condensation if it was heated, cooled, over and over.and then rust.
