You don't really need an engine stand per say, just something to prop the engine up on.

I used some jack stands (seem like the right thing for a 914 engine), 1 under each end of the engine cross bar and 1 under the back of the trans. I used a scrap of sheet metal to hold the relay board and some switches.

Here is an old thread with some examples and some wiring info.
