Looking to run and break-in my 2.0 before installing. I need to do rust repair first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

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.
