I have one of these and it works great:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pittsburgh-Automotive-Foldable-Engine-Stand-2000-lb-Capacity-Heavy-Duty-69521/514100311

It folds up into a compact rollable form and is more than strong enough. Plus, I can get my HF table in place to put the engine on or get it off the stand.

Or if you want to weld one up, this was copied from Jerry Woods engine build shop. I had three made.

Thanks for input - managed to stumble across a stand that is exactly what you have recommended. 2nd best part is that it is free...

I'm working in a small 1 car garage. The collapsible stand (from HF) is a blessing. When not in use, it is tucked away in a corner. The head also allows me to use a partial ring; instead of the full yoke. I had to cut some spacers, from iron plumbing pipe to mount the adapter and the first time, it took a couple of iterations in getting it centered just right.

I lift the engine with a chain hoist and trolley, suspended from an 'I' beam. A little overkill, but makes the job easy.
