There is more than one way to skin a cat.
I used my welding table on wheels to support the engine as I undid all the connections and lifted the car up using a four post lift. Exhaust removed.
Completely disassembled the engine, then decided I liked working at the higher height of the table instead of the height of my engine stand, so I made a couple of wood stands in the shape of the crankcase in the upright position and 90 degrees rotated. Did all the work assembling on the two wood stands on the table. It was really handy to have a flat surface all around the engine. There was plenty of room to work, and very sturdy. If I did it again, I might make some slick aluminum stands to replace my wood ones, but I would still do it on the table.
The only reason I could see to have the engine upside down is for the exhaust, and I did that in the car.
