It's way easier than in the car and your engine bay can be cleaned up, replace fuel lines, etc.

Just resealing the motor is not that expensive if you're doing it yourself. Just a lot of hours in front of a parts washer. You have a copy of Wayne's engine rebuild book? It's required reading. -Tony
Compression test I've done a ton of times, no big deal, but for the leakdown test, could I do that once the engine is on the stand? Yeah, I have the book and I've been reading a lot.
