I can best describe as a kind of metallic sound; perhaps like tin foil being scrunched up.

With a Supercharger too....

I'm willing to bet that that engine stays on a stand for a very very long time. Hell, you might not even see it come out!

Make sure you wrap it. Also seal all the exposed hoses, intake manifold and exhaust manifold. You don't want anything crawling in there and dying.

Will it be better not to be dry??

Oil inside will prevent corrosion i think.

What is your opinion?

Lube it up and bag it is the best solution.
