I built a stand to do this. It is fairly light weight since you do this with no load on the engine. All the parts for this were basically free. I used an old core support, rad and dash from parts trucks. The rolling stand was part of another old piece of equipment. This allows me to break-in a cam and find any leaks or other problems before I take the trouble to put the engine into the truck.
I friggin LOVE it. That is awesome, right there. I may need to try this someday
